Bruny Island Day Tour
Overview
Arguably one of Tasmania's best day trips, Bruny Island brings together world-class beaches, national parks, rugged coastline, native wildlife and exceptional local produce from land and sea.
The morning is active at an easy-to-moderate level, with nature walks, scenic lookouts, pristine beaches and lagoons, optional swimming and the chance to spot the island's elusive white wallaby. After lunch at the Bruny Hotel, the pace eases as you sample local produce such as honey, chocolate and oysters, subject to time and availability and at your own cost.
No two departures are exactly the same. The order and selection of stops may change with the weather, road conditions and the interests of the group so that the day feels rewarding rather than rushed.
Highlights
Temperate rainforest walk
Take an easy walk through lush temperate rainforest and enjoy the quiet scenery and fresh Tasmanian air.
Walking tracks and coastal lookouts
Depending on the forecast, your guide may choose easy-to-moderate tracks leading to secluded beaches, coastal cliffs and panoramic viewpoints. A moderate level of fitness is recommended for the longer options.
The Neck lookout
Climb the timber steps to the viewing platform at The Neck for one of Bruny Island's most recognisable views across the narrow isthmus linking the north and south of the island.
Wildlife spotting
Keep watch for native wildlife throughout the day, including the rare white wallaby. Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, but your guide knows several places where wallabies are often seen.
Beaches, lagoons and swimming
Visit picturesque beaches, secret waterholes and lagoons, with an opportunity to swim when weather, timing and conditions allow.
Cape Bruny Lighthouse
When time and conditions allow, visit the historic Cape Bruny Lighthouse precinct at the island's southern end and take in views across the Southern Ocean and rugged coastline.
Lunch and local produce
Stop for lunch at the Bruny Hotel, with options for different budgets and dietary needs. Later stops may include Bruny Island honey, chocolate, oysters and other seasonal produce. Lunch, tastings and beverages are at your own cost.
