Bruny Island Safaris Fully Guided Day Tour offering a premium in-depth experience – departs Hobart daily. 

Rich in history and stories

Dress warm, it can cool off when walking the Cape Bruny Lighthouse balcony.

A spectacular tour with nature, wilderness, coast, and heritage on Bruny Island, joining the car ferry in Kettering and crossing the D’Entrecasteaux Channel. A perfect opportunity to see Australian Fur Seals and Little Blue Penguins that forage for food in the clear waters of the channel, keep your cameras handy, or let our guides take your photo for you. 

Skirt through the Mount Mangana rainforests searching for the wild White Wallaby, try the Tasmanian Pepper Bush, and stand alongside some of the tallest Tree Ferns on Bruny Island. Explore the narrow sandy isthmus known as The Neck Lookout and Wildlife Reserve and climb the steps to the Truganini Lookout and Rookery, Bruny Islands’ most photographed geological formation. Then onwards to the Cape Bruny Lighthouse Station and join Australia’s southernmost Lighthouse Tour which is included in the price of your day tour to Bruny Island. With any number of photographic possibilities at every point of the compass.

For our morning snack, enjoy Bruny Island Cheese & Bruny Island Oysters picnic-style, with fresh wood-oven bread on one of the pristine white beaches. You will also have the option to visit the Bruny Island Cheese Company and Get Shucked Oysters on the return journey later in the day. If you buy any items we can keep them cool in our iceboxes that are on all of our touring vehicles.

Along the way, we stop at many of the Bruny Island food producers, lookouts, and sweeping beaches with ample time for short walks or a paddle in the cool ocean waters of the Tasman Sea for those that are brave. For lunch, choose from an extensive menu of locally caught fresh fish, succulent local lamb, salmon, seafood chowder, or the popular seafood platter for two (Gluten-free and vegetarian options available). A collaboration of fine food with Hotel Bruny & The Bruny Island Producers, overlooking Sunset Beach.

A visit to Bruny Island wouldn’t be complete without visiting Tasmania’s newest Whisky Distillery Hounds Tooth Whisky. Sample the whisky and whisky fudge for a small extra fee (Not always available, please ask your guide on the day).
