While it’s impossible to see everything in a single day, this tour is thoughtfully designed to make the most of the day’s weather conditions, ensuring an enjoyable and well-paced experience. Expect an active (easy to moderate) morning filled with nature walks, albino wallaby spotting, stunning lookouts, and time to explore pristine beaches and lagoons (swimming optional). This experience takes you off the beaten path to areas accessible only by local walking tracks.

After a morning of adventure, slow down for a relaxing lunch at either the Bruny Hotel, a local café, or a winery (lunch at own cost). Each offers options to suit all budgets and dietary needs. In the afternoon, unwind as you sample award-winning local produce — from berries and cheese to chocolate fudge, beverages, and freshly shucked oysters (time permitting and at own cost).

Temperate Rainforest Walk

Enjoy a peaceful stroll through a lush rainforest alongside Waterfall Creek. This easy 20-minute walk invites you to take in the tranquil scenery and breathe in some of the freshest air Tasmania has to offer.

Picturesque Beaches

Bruny Island boasts countless beaches, each as beautiful as the next. Admire their crystal-clear waters and pristine sands as you visit some of the island’s most picturesque coastal spots. For those feeling energetic, a friendly game of beach cricket is always an option!

The Neck Lookout

Arguably the island’s most iconic landmark, The Neck Lookout offers panoramic views of North and South Bruny. Climb the 279 timber steps to take in breathtaking 360° vistas. Keep an eye out for fairy penguin and mutton bird burrows nestled in the dunes below — and don’t forget your camera for that perfect shot.

Wildlife Spotting

Bruny Island is a haven for native Tasmanian wildlife. The island’s star resident — the rare albino wallaby — is often spotted by the keen-eyed. Keep your camera ready as we visit secret local spots known for wildlife encounters.

Walking Tracks (Active Level)

Depending on the day’s forecast, your guide will select one of several scenic walking routes. Each offers something unique — from the towering sea cliffs (the second tallest in Australia) and panoramic coastal lookouts to secluded beaches and lush bush trails. Walks vary in length and require a moderate level of fitness.

Cape Bruny Lighthouse

Standing proudly at the island’s southern tip, the convict-built Cape Bruny Lighthouse (1836) is the second-oldest lighthouse tower in Australia. Take in spectacular views of the rugged coastline and the vast Southern Ocean from this historic site.

Lunch Stop

Lunch will be enjoyed at one of two locations, depending on the day. Choose to dine at the Bruny Island Hotel or pick up a light meal from the nearby general store. You’re welcome to enjoy your meal outdoors at picnic benches or by the beach. Guests are also welcome to bring their own packed lunch.

Sample Award-Winning Local Produce

Beyond its natural beauty, Bruny Island is a haven for food lovers. Visit a selection of local producers and sample their mouth-watering specialities. Tastings may include berries, artisan cheeses, handmade chocolates, fresh oysters, wine, beer, and cider (time permitting and at own cost).

Swimming (Weather Permitting)

Pack your swimmers and towel — if the weather allows, you’ll have the chance to take a refreshing dip. Depending on conditions, your guide will choose the best location, from peaceful lagoons and calm canals to gentle surf beaches. Prefer to stay dry? Take a leisurely beach stroll, explore rock pools, or simply relax and enjoy the view.
Please note: swimming is at your own risk.
