Beautiful Bruny Island Adventure
Bruny Island is close to Hobart yet feels a world away as you cross the D’Entrecasteaux Channel on the ferry. This island provides the ultimate wilderness experience with spectacular sea cliffs, long beaches, tranquil waterways, and national parks. Bruny Island is home to fairy penguins, albatross, fur seals and the rare white wallaby. It’s also known as a foodie paradise with freshly shucked oysters, artisan cheese, fudge, whisky and wine.
Our Bruny Island tour heads to the most southern point of the island to reveal the dramatic coastline and see a heritage-listed lighthouse built in 1836. Enjoy lunch at Hotel Bruny, the most popular pub on the island, before heading to the beautiful Adventure Bay. Discover the history of explorers who have ventured to the island at the privately run Bligh Museum. If there’s time, take a stroll along the tranquil beach. On the way back to the ferry we call in to Get Shucked to sample sustainably cultivated plump oysters from the nearby pristine waters.

Response from Tours around Tasmania
thank you Dirk we love it that our guests enjoy the sights as much as we do!
An amazing comprehensive and informative tour of the island. Some of the highlights include a tour of the Lighthouse, coffee and oven baked bread at a rustic cafe, whisky and mead at the whisky tasting venue and of course a stop at the Chocolate shop. Most important, the information about the Island, its bays and positioning. Highly recommend George from Tours Around Tasmania
