DESCRIPTION
Discover Bruny Island – A Day of Flavour, Scenery, and Storytelling
Join us for an unforgettable full-day adventure exploring the natural beauty, gourmet delights, and rich maritime history of Bruny Island. Just a short journey from Hobart, this all-inclusive experience blends indulgent local produce, spectacular scenery, and heartfelt storytelling into a truly immersive island escape.
Company Director Craig Parsey, whose childhood was spent on lighthouse stations around Tasmania, including Cape Bruny, brings a personal connection and deep knowledge of the island’s history, people, and hidden gems.
Our first stop is a secluded beach, where we treat you to a picnic-style morning tea, “our way.” Relax by the shore as you enjoy fresh Bruny Island oysters, local cheeses, freshly baked bread, and tea or coffee. It’s the perfect way to settle into island time.
As we explore Bruny’s iconic sights, you’ll taste your way across the island, sampling hand-crafted fudge and chocolate at the Bruny Island Chocolate Co. and enjoying sweet local honey at Bruny Island Honey’s charming gift shop.
Next, we head to The Neck, the isthmus that connects North and South Bruny. Climb the stairs to Truganini Lookout for breathtaking 360-degree views over the island and its stunning coastline. Along the way, keep your eyes peeled for the elusive White Wallaby, Bruny’s rare native resident. We then venture deep into the wild beauty of South Bruny National Park. Here, you’ll enjoy a truly special experience, an exclusive guided tour of the heritage-listed Cape Bruny Lighthouse, Tasmania’s only publicly accessible lighthouse tour, available only through Bruny Island Safaris. Stand on the windswept viewing platform and take in panoramic views of the mighty Southern Ocean.
After working up an appetite, we sit down for a delicious one-course lunch at Hotel Bruny, featuring the island’s finest local ingredients and stunning views over the D’Entrecasteaux Channel and Satellite Island.
Throughout the day, our local guides share stories that bring the island to life, its Indigenous heritage, maritime legacy, and vibrant food culture, ensuring you don’t just visit Bruny Island, but truly experience it like a local.
