Product Info

What You Can Expect

Situated just 30 minutes south of Hobart, Bruny Island is a renowned destination celebrated for its awe-inspiring natural beauty and abundance of locally sourced delights. Frequent ferries connect the mainland to the island via Kettering, with a crossing of around 20 minutes. Once you set foot on the island, settle in for a scenic drive and immerse yourself in Bruny's natural beauty.

A must-visit is "The Neck," a slender isthmus linking North and South Bruny. Take the short uphill climb and you'll be generously rewarded with breathtaking vistas across Bruny's picturesque landscapes.

From here, you may wish to add a guided tour of Cape Bruny Lighthouse - a historical gem and one of Australia's oldest lighthouses. Food lovers are spoilt for choice: sample fresh local oysters at Get Shucked, or savour Tasmania's finest artisanal cheeses and condiments at Bruny Island Cheese Co. The island also offers berries, fudge, beer and wine to discover along the way.

To finish, keep an eye out for wildlife with a short stop at Adventure Bay, one of the best places to spot the famous Bruny Island white wallabies, which thrive here thanks to a lack of natural predators and a pristine, protected habitat.
