Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: The Neck, Bruny Island, Tasmania 7150 Australia
Then we head up to The Neck. Bruny Island is effectively two islands tied together by a string-thin, 5km-long sandy isthmus called the Neck. Renowned for its wildlife (little penguins, echidnas, muttonbirds), the island’s two halves – North Bruny and South Bruny – exude very different characters: the rural north and, luring most visitors, the rugged south with its high cliffs, beaches and national park, which runs a frame around much of South Bruny’s coast.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Get Shucked Oyster Bar, 1735 Bruny Island Main Road, Bruny Island, Tasmania Australia
Spend some time at the oyster bar to enjoy a selection of exquisite Bruny Island oysters.
Duration: 45 minutes
Stop At: South Bruny National Park, Bruny Island, Tasmania 7151 Australia
South Bruny National Park – a place beloved for its striking landscapes and diverse coastal scenery.
South Bruny National Park’s towering cliffs are a spectacle set against the wild Southern Ocean. Atop one of the southern headlands is Cape Bruny Lighthouse, first lit in 1838 and today offering a fascinating insight into the history of this rugged coastline. Nearby Cloudy Bay is popular with surfers and ideal for long walks on the beach. You may even find yourself watching southern right and humpback whales on their annual migration as you explore the beaches and headlands of South Bruny.
Discovering the park on foot provides you with an opportunity to immerse yourself in the landscape – an experience enhanced by plentiful birdlife, coastal heathland and sweeping vistas. A visit to the short-tailed shearwater and little penguin colonies at the Bruny Neck is sure to be a highlight, not least for its iconic isthmus views.
Duration: 1 hour
