The scenic side of the tour was great, But the driver was more interested in sharing his opinions and his success in sport expect his golfing prowess. Also the visit to the cheese outlet was cancelled. This was advertised on line for the tour I booked. Whilst the driver did drop me off there he also made a range of ver unprofessional derogatory comments about the business. I would not good one of you tours again. One more thing I was told to be at my pick up point early (7.20am) but ended being picked up last at 7.40am a long time to wait in the cold and get the worst seat in the bus!!!

We had an absolutely fantastic day exploring Bruny Island, and a huge part of that was thanks to our amazing driver, Andrew. From start to finish, he was friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area. Andrew made the journey enjoyable with his great sense of humour and interesting insights about the island’s history, wildlife, and local spots. The food at Bruny Hotel was fantastic, and the oysters at Get Shucked were amazing highlights of the trip. Overall, Andrew made our experience truly memorable, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide and driver.

Our Bruny Island tour was well run with our driver Mark so informative and entertaining. He engaged everyone with interesting facts and stories. Lots of stops at lookouts, beaches and the forest. Lunch at the pub was pre-ordered by QR code to avoid delays and there were short stops at the end of the day to shop for chocolate, honey and fresh oysters.

Such a fantastic tour. The guide made it really special,so engaging and full of great stories. Everything was smooth and well-organised, despite the unpredicted rain and wind, and the places we visited were very beautiful. I especially loved the little local insights you wouldn’t find on your own. Overall, just a really enjoyable, relaxed experience.

Our guide Bonsy went above and beyond to make our day great even though it rained most of the time and our cruise was cancelled. Very informative and very accommodating to ensure he filled in our whole day. Very nice lunch.

Great tour by Skye. She was very lovely and knowledgable. We got to try the different specialties from Bruny Island, such as oysters, honey and chocolate. And she took us around to nice sightseeing places, like the neck and the lighthouse. We also did a mini rainforest walk, where she explained some of the native flora which was interesting to learn about.

Explore Bruny Island’s best on a budget, with convenient hotel transfers, a comfortable AC bus ride, and a scenic ferry journey.

Climb The Neck’s lookout for panoramic views where turquoise seas meet lush forests, and spot fairy penguins below.

Walk through the lush rainforest along Waterfall Creek, surrounded by towering eucalyptus and vibrant ferns.

Sample local delicacies from Bruny’s artisan producers—berries, cheese, oysters, and more. Lunch stop provided but not included.

Fun fact: The island was named after French explorer Bruni d'Entrecasteaux in 1792, though the spelling was changed to Bruny in 1918.
