Wild Sights and Experiences
Depart
Getting There: Hobart to Bruny
Your day begins when your guide collects you from your accommodation or a convenient meeting point.
From Hobart, we travel south on a scenic 35-minute drive toward Kettering, a charming seaside village nestled by the D’Entrecasteaux Channel.
Once there, we board the short vehicular ferry to Bruny Island. It’s a peaceful crossing, just 20 minutes—yet it feels like you’re entering another world. Quiet roads, wild coastline, and that unmistakable island pace await..
Discover
Island Highlights: South Bruny National Park & The Neck
Get Shucked Oysters
Sample oysters just moments out of the water at one of Tasmania’s most famous oyster farms. Learn about Bruny’s aquaculture and taste the island’s saltwater freshness in every bite.
Bruny Island Cheese & Beer Co.
Enjoy a relaxed tasting of artisan cheese, craft beer, and wood-fired sourdough — all made on-site. It’s the perfect combination of flavour, craftsmanship, and Bruny hospitality.
The Neck Lookout
Climb to the top of Truganini Lookout for one of Tasmania’s most iconic views. This short walk rewards you with 360° panoramas of North and South Bruny and is a must for your camera roll.
Adventure Bay
Discover the heart of Bruny’s southern charm with a visit to Adventure Bay. Soak in the coastal scenery, hear stories of convict-era explorers, and keep an eye out for native wildlife along the way.
Honey & Chocolate Tastings
Wrap up your day with a visit to Bruny Island Honey and the Bruny Island Chocolate Company. Sample small-batch sweets, golden honey, and handmade fudge — a delicious send-off.
Local Insight, No Rush
Your guide keeps the pace relaxed and the experience personal. No crowds, no waiting — just the best of Bruny, shared the way locals would show their friends.
Taste
Tasting Bruny: A Food Lover’s Dream
Bruny Island is a paradise for food lovers. Our stops are flexible but usually include some local favourites.
At Get Shucked, you’ll try freshly harvested oysters just metres from where they’re grown. It’s casual, crisp, and incredibly Tasmanian. Next, we visit the Bruny Island Cheese & Beer Co., where you can enjoy hand‑crafted cheeses and small-batch beers in a peaceful garden setting. If you’re in the mood for a relaxed sit-down lunch, Bruny Island Premium Wines, Australia’s southernmost vineyard. It provides a beautiful spot to savour cool-climate wines and seasonal dishes made from local produce.
Depending on time and interest, we may also stop by Bruny Island Honey to sample unique honey varietals, or House of Whisky, known for its boutique Tasmanian spirits.
Return
Relaxed Ride Home with Full Hearts (and Hands)
By late afternoon, we’ll begin the drive back to the ferry. After the short crossing to Kettering, your guide will take you back to Hobart, relaxed, comfortable, carrying a few good memories (and maybe a gourmet treat or two).
It’s a full day, with just the right balance of exploring, tasting, and taking it all in.
We will arrive back at your chosen drop off point at around 5pm
From the first ferry crossing to the final taste of island produce, every detail of your Bruny adventure is designed to inspire and delight.
