Can I bring my suitcase or a large bag?

Do you cater for dietary requirements/food allergies?
Yes! At Bruny Island Safaris, we take food safety very seriously. Please press ‘yes’ to dietary requirements/allergies when making a booking and let us know in the notes of your requirements/allergies. Hotel Bruny’s menu covers all dietary requirements, including gluten-free and vegan options.
How much walking is involved?
We try to keep walking to a minimum to ensure our tour is accessible to as many people as possible. When we visit The Neck Lookout, there are over 200 stairs to reach the top lookout. However, there is the option to walk the flat boardwalk to the stunning beach, or there is a lookout halfway up the stairs that offers fantastic views of the neck on Bruny Island and beyond. Once at Cape Bruny Lighthouse, there is a short uphill walk to reach the lighthouse and then 72 stairs in the Lighthouse itself. With two of the best views on Bruny Island, we promise the view from The Neck Lookout and the Cape Bruny Lighthouse balcony are worth the climb!
If you have any concerns about our tour’s accessibility, please call or email us and we can provide further information.
*Please note – Your Parks Pass is covered on our full day tours.
