Itinerary

Bruny Island Tour

Also known as Lunawanna-allonah, Bruny Island is separated from mainland Tasmania by a deep green channel called the D’Entrecasteaux. Home to a small population of people who prefer to live on the wild side, Bruny is all about beaches, waves, forests and food.

We set off early from Hobart to beat the crowds, taking a scenic waterside drive and ferry crossing to arrive on the island.

First up? A section of the Cape Queen Elizabeth trail, an easy 2 hour return walk that delivers spectacular views from Mars Bluff of Miles Beach and Bruny Island Arch, a mind-boggling natural rock formation.

It’s onwards and upwards from there, quite literally, as we climb 279 stairs to reach the top of Truganini Lookout where you’ll be met with magnificent 360 degree views of The Neck; a thin sliver of land that connects North and South Bruny.

Learn about local history at Two Tree Point before relaxing for lunch at Adventure Bay, a sheltered stretch of white sand and blue waves, giant eucalyptus standing proud along the shore.

Spend the afternoon tasting your way around the island, sampling locally crafted goodies with stops at the Chocolate Factory, The Honey Pot, Bruny Island Cheese Co. and Get Shucked Oysters. The perfect day? We do say!

Tasmania Tours

Take a tour in Tasmania on one of our popular Tasmania tours.

Tasmania is a unique island off the coast of Australia.

A relatively isolated environment in Tasmania has enabled plants and animals to evolve undisturbed from outside influence. The cool temperate weather provides fertile conditions for the natural world to create inspiring landscapes.

Added to this, the presence of Aboriginal and European colonization has left interesting human history.

Places like the Port Arthur penal colony, Cradle Mountain, Wineglass Bay, and the natural forests are internationally recognized as being places of universal beauty and interest.

Wineglass Bay is the most famous image you will see of Tasmania worldwide.

To join one of our Tasmania tours you can easily get to Tasmania with a flight from Melbourne or Sydney. It’s the perfect holiday within a holiday for your Australia adventure. We would recommend at least 5 to 7 days to really explore what this wilderness area has to offer. However, we do have Tasmania tours for just 3 days starting in Hobart and finishing in Launceston. We also have an abundance of 1-day trips in Tasmania for shorter weekend getaways to Tassie.
