Shore Excursion - Bruny Island day tour
Duration:
Operated By:
Arguably Tasmania’s best day trip! At the end of this day, you will understand why the tourist numbers have doubled in the past 4 years! Bruny Island has a little bit of everything mainland Tasmania has – world class beaches, national parks, rugged coastline and native wildlife matched with the finest local produce from the ocean and the land.
While its impossible to do everything in one day, we have designed various tours to fit in with the day’s weather conditions so we can provide the most enjoyable experience. You can expect an active morning with nature walks, albino wallaby spotting, spectacular scenery lookouts, exploring pristine beaches and lagoon (swimming optional). This tour takes you off the beaten track and into areas that are only accessible by walking tracks that only locals know about.
After an adventurous morning, it will be time to pull it back a gear as we head to the Bruny Hotel for lunch (at own cost) where we will eat down at the beach or on the picnic tables. After lunch, unwind and relax as we sample some award winning local produce. Berries, chocolate fudge, cheese, beverages and oysters are all possibilities (time pending and at own cost)!
Some of the things you can expect to see and do:
(some will be weather and time permitting)
- Tempered Rainforest walk
- Walking tracks (Easy level of fitness)
- Swimming (weather permitting)
- Wildlife spotting (we know some of the hiding spots of the elusive albino wallaby which may allow for a spotting!)
- Viewing platform at the Neck.
- Cape Bruny Light house
- Secret water holes and lagoons
- Picturesque beaches
- Sample award winning food (own cost)
- Lunch stop (own cost)

Skye provided a great guided tour of our tour, very informative with a fun relaxed and approachable personality.
I’d recommend doing this tour, and thank Skye for making it an enjoyable experience.
The views were absolutely breathtaking, and everything was so well organized from start to finish.
A special thank you to our driver, Skye, who did an awesome job—so friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
Highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Tasmania!
This tour includes the admission fee to Port Arthur, which makes the tour fee so much more reasonable than it already is. It is the perfect blend of group and solo exploration. I also loved how the trip had so many options that are perfectly timed. For example, you could choose to either stay back and explore Port Arthur by yourself or you could choose to meet Gray at the entrance and go for a drive down to the Remarkable Cave with the group.
The fact that they pick you up and drop you off is just a cherry on top. It makes it that much more convenient and you just get to kick back and relax. I went after the day light saving ended, and the drive back coincided with the golden hour, which made the ride back wayyy more special and mesmerising.
As a solo female traveller, I would recommend this to anyone and everyone but especially solo travellers. There was not once that I felt I wasn't safe.
We managed to fit in everything on the schedule as the weather was so good.
But overall great experience and my tour guide Sky was very informative and engaging :)
The food on Bruny is insane! I cannot recommend you try the oysters more highly. Best in the world. The beautiful lagoon we stopped at for a swim was so idyllic and the water was actually way warmer than I expected it to be - don't forget your bathers!
I loved how you could 'choose your own adventure' on the Wineglass Bay tour. I chose to walk down the 1000 steps to the beach and WOW! I'm so glad I did. What a spectacular part of the world. I cannot recommend these tours more highly 😍
A little piece of paradise for sure.
Highly recommend
We booked the full day (10 hour) tour to Bruny Island and it was an amazing experience. The directions for meet up were clear and the driver was on time. The coffee and breakfast options at the ferry were delicious and we enjoyed getting out of the car on the ferry ride over. Every stop was intentional and informative. We walked a lot and had the option to enjoy great food and snacks along the way. Our driver brought us to some amazing beaches and his guidance and humor was top notch. The memories and photos we have of our day will be cherished. Thank you, Andrew, for a great time!
Thumb up to him, and thankfully we have seen some wildlife here in Tasmania.
As well as we do enjoy the history about Australia and Tasmania.
Yeah, we have a good wrap up for our tour with really delicious oysters.
Great plan and heartfully thanks, and appreciate for Nathan's plan.
Best regards, Amy from Singapore.
Beautiful views, good food, wild nature and great talks!
I would highly recommend it
On my day trip, the Tahune air walk was cancelled. The company refunded a portion of our payment for the airwalk, without any prompting from us. I have been cheated by other tour companies before, so I really appreciate this.
Our tour guide (?Juno/Johno/Juneau) was so friendly and kind. I had lost my jacket and it was cold, so he offered me his jackets throughout the day. It's a shame I hesitated asking him to clarify his name 😅.
The rest of the tour, Hasting caves- spectacular and apple pie- great touch to the trip.
Highly recommend Tassie tours in general and this particular tour.
The day was full of information, good humour and activities that lived up to all that was promised.
Our guide Andrew was fantastic — very knowledgeable, relaxed, friendly and always making the tours enjoyable. The car was super comfortable and spotless every day, which made the experience even better.
We did three tours in a row (Bruny Island, Port Arthur, and Hobart Highlights) and all of them were stunning and very smooth. Everyone we dealt with was professional and kind.
Highly recommend Tassie Tours and would definitely book with them again! 🌈✨
Whether it was quirky colonial trivia or insights into Tasmania’s evolving culture, Mark tailored the experience to our group’s interests with impressive finesse. It felt less like a tour and more like being shown around by a passionate local friend who genuinely loves this city.
The pacing was perfect, the sites were stunning, and Mark’s commentary added layers of meaning to everything we saw. If you’re looking for a tour that’s both informative and delightfully human, this is it.
Highly recommend booking with Mark—you’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for Hobart and a smile that lasts well beyond the final stop. We booked via Klook btw
We stopped at the Neck and walked up all the stairs to the lookout but unfortunately the weather closed in on us and we got soaked. We drove around and managed to spot the famous white wallabies. We did a nice little rainforest walk and listened to the birdies. We had a delicious pub lunch at the Bruny Island Hotel / pub (not included). The orders were called in on the way so they were ready for us when we arrived. We stopped at the Lighthouse and most southerly point in the afternoon.
My only suggestion is not to stop at the Bruny Island Chocolate shop as the staff was very rude and the chocolate tasted terrible - we all regretted buying.
The queue for the ferry on the way back was long so we had to wait about 30 minutes, but Bunsie's stories and banging playlist of 60s and 70s classic rock kept us entertained. Bunsie has also seen Neal the Seal in the flesh! We had an excellent day and were back to Hobart by about 5.30pm.
Booked two days before and it was smooth from picking up to dropping off. The Bruny Island tour is recommended!
Lunch spot at the Bruny hotel, food was substantial and tasty! Don't have to worry about your lunch peeps!
