This is a full-day tour, but the hours disappear in the best possible way. After a scenic ferry crossing to Bruny Island, we first stopped to taste the local honey. From there, we settled into a gorgeous beach stop for morning tea — a beautifully curated spread of local cheeses, freshly baked bread, and plump, freshly shucked oysters. It was the perfect introduction to the island's remarkable food culture.
The highlight for history lovers was a visit to the second-oldest lighthouse in Tasmania, where the local lighthouse keeper led us on a guided tour to the very top. The views and the stories were equally breathtaking. From there, we made our way to the famous isthmus — the narrow strip of land that connects the two halves of Bruny Island — for a short walk and some truly spectacular scenery.
A stop at a local artisan estate offered chocolate tasting (and optional whiskey tasting for those so inclined), showcasing the island's incredible artisans. Before heading back, guests had the chance to purchase fresh oysters to take home for the evening — a lovely final touch.
Lunch at the Bruny Island Hotel was a real highlight too. The portions were generous, the menu featured a wonderful variety of fresh, locally sourced food, and the relaxed setting was perfect after a morning of exploring.
The small tour bus was spotless, comfortable, and never felt crowded. Jimmy's expertise and genuine passion for the island made every stop memorable. Whether you're a foodie, a history buff, or simply looking for a memorable day out, this tour delivers on every front.
Could see and experience all major sightseeing places without rushing.

Highlights were morning tea on the beach with fresh bread, local cheese and the fattest oysters I've ever had (from Get Shucked), Bruny lighthouse and the walk outside around the top, and our fabulous guide Jimmy who was informative as only a local can be and entertaining to boot.
This trip is well worth it.
We had picture perfect weather to enjoy the spectacular views, the interesting guided tour of the lighthouse and the views from the top, lunch at the pub, freshly shucked oysters, locally made cheese, beer, chocolate and honey. What a day! I thoroughly enjoyed.
the beach followed by an exclusive private tour of the lighthouse. Then a hearty lunch. We ate local oysters and cheeses. We finished on a sweet note and enjoyed a chocolate tasting. I highly recommend this tour it was fantastic.
The food was a massive highlight. Everything was fresh and local and honestly you’re well fed all day. Lunch was great and i would definitely recommend to get the lamb shoulder. The oysters, cheese, fudge and other local stops were all spot on.
Big shout-out to our guide Jimmy he is an absolute legend. Super friendly easygoing and clearly knows and loves Bruny Island. He kept the day running smoothly shared heaps of local knowledge and made the whole experience relaxed and fun rather than feeling like a typical tour.
The scenery was stunning the lighthouse was a great stop and we even spotted a white wallaby which was a pretty special bonus.
If you’re heading to Tasmania put this tour high on your list. Great food great guide and a brilliant way to see Bruny Island.
As a solo traveller, going on tours can be a bit nerve wracking, so I was grateful that Dave took the time to include me and make me feel welcome. He even took photos for me as I was on my own. He was so knowledgeable about the island, and took great care when preparing our oysters and cheese for breakfast, maintaining good hygiene and being careful when managing allergies of those in our group.
This tour includes a lighthouse tour that other Bruny Island tours don’t and it was well worth the extra stop for great views and wallaby sightings, which I was very excited by as an international visitor!
Our tour guide Jimmy ensured all had a great time - very informative and entertaining! A great day out!
Our driver Dave was a legend - knowledgeable and quick witted, and a great driver - he really made the tour.
Quick ferry ride to the island and then we stopped at various of the artisan shops and had samplings, had an amazing morning tea of local bread, cheese and the plumpest, freshest oysters! Wow! All at a delightful little beach which had been visited by Captain Cook.
We got a chance to climb the Truganini Lookout and marvel at the views of The Neck and then headed to Cape Bruny Lighthouse for a guided tour and a chance to brave the wind and walk around the balcony!
Included lunch was at the Bruny Hotel and was an excellent meal - we had placed individual orders earlier.
More stops on the way back to the ferry and then back to our accommodation.
This was one of the best tours we have ever done and can thoroughly recommend Bruny Island Safari’s and Dave in particular.
Our local guide was Rick and he was very knowledgeable and professional.
For morning tea we stopped at a very pretty estuary/ beach area and had Oysters and Cheese tasting with cup of tea or coffee. The Oysters were the largest I had seen so far in Tasmania, and were absolutely delicious.
Stopped at a Hotel for lunch which was adequate. My partner thought it would have been nice to have some mashed potato with the slow cooked lamb.
Followed by a journey to do Cheese, Chocolate and Honey tasting.
Also stopped at a small local market which was very quaint.
Altgether an 8 + hour tour of Bruny Island, and a wonderful experience with this company. Recommended.
My wife and I went on this tour and were pleasantly surprised! It was a long day, but every moment was worth it — from the delicious food (the oysters were absolutely amazing!) and fascinating historical insights shared by our guide, Dave, to the stunning scenery and his great sense of humor. The views from above were breathtaking. We’d highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hobart!

The view from the light house was really beautiful and not that walking then I expected.
Overall I enjoyed the tour and satisfied with everything.
But the price was bit too expensive.
The tour was meticulously planned and provided an enjoyable experience. The assortment of cheeses, bread, and Pacific oysters complemented the serene yet orderly ambiance.
We highly recommend Bruny Island Safaris and we extend our appreciation for their hospitality.
Lunch at the pub was great also, I ordered the chicken parmi which was lovely.
The portion size was a little bit small, it appeared to be cut in half.
A little bit disappointing as when I walked in I noticed someone else also having the chicken parmi and it was HUGE!!
That was the only thing, however I am a guts LOL!!
Unfortunately l think the price is too much compared to other lighthouse tours we have been on and we had a discount through bookme.
We were also able to sample some local produce - Cheeses , Oysters and Chocolate. This day tour is a must do it really captures what Bruny island has to offer.
Our guide was really friendly and knowledgeable but most of the group thought he was a rally car driver. He drove insanely fast on dirt roads which was a little scary. Just confirmed to all of us too rushed.
The lighthouse tour was fantastic ! If you’re scared of heights be warned but I’d still recommend it (I’m no good with heights but i don’t regret doing it!!)
Too rushed / typical bus tour : when we got on the bus we were warned today is going to be pushed to see it all ….. our first stop was at the ferry to Bruny island. Now despite being told it’s going to be rushed he purposely stopped the bus for us to grab coffee despite a ferry ready to board…..why!?!? … clearly kick backs are in place from the coffee shop. A waste of 30min!!!!
The it was off to get shucked …. Well that’s what we thought but instead it was a drive by with the driver quickly jumping out to get a few oysters to go / eat later. This was really disappointing as we had hoped to stop and grab some cooked oysters - NOPE!
Next honey stop for a v quick tasting. I’m not a big honey guy but my wife loved it !
Then off to Truganini lookout . Well worth a stop. The views are amazing!!!
Next stop, was at two tree point for cheese, bread and sample of oysters . The oysters were great as was the views!!!!!! Such a pretty spot to stop at.
Next was a rally car trip to the lighthouse !!!! Damn.
The lighthouse tour is a must . It was soo good . Incredible history and views.
Off to lunch and again the rally car driver was at his best …… hotel Bruny had some awesome local beers on tap!!! Food was ok. Can’t complain but nothing to write home about.
After lunch was more driving and a visit to chocolate shop - very touristy. Wouldn’t bother if going by myself.
Last stop was cheese and beer shop. Very friendly service and good beer. Worth a stop.
Back to ferry and home .
Was it worth $520 for two …… hmmmmmm …. Yes and no. Just depends on you. If you want a guide, wanna have a few beers and not worry about driving then yes. If you are happy to drive (we didn’t have a car that day) then do it yourself and you can pick and choose where you wanna go.
Tour guide was nice, very informative with good humor, easy to understand for non-native english speakers.
Wonderful views of the island. Enjoyed the lighthouse tour.
