Itinerary
Take the Sealink ferry from Kettering across to Bruny Island. This is a short 10-15 minute ferry ride across the stunning D'Entrecasteaux Channel.
Climb the 279 stairs to the Truganini Lookout at The Neck for one of the best views on Bruny Island. Please note: there is a lookout after 53 stairs or a flat boardwalk walk out to the beach for those guests who do not wish to walk up all the stairs.
Stop by Australia's only Oyster Drive-Thru at Get Shucked Oysters. We will stop here briefly in the morning to collect our oysters for morning tea. Please let your tour guide know if you wish to stop in the afternoon to make purchases. We have an ice cooler on board for any oyster or cheese purchases.
Two Tree Point is our Morning Tea stop for the day. Enjoy Bruny Island oysters from Get Shucked, Bruny Island Cheeses and freshly baked bread on the beach to start the day. Take a short walk along the beach as your guide prepares your tasty morning tea, or for those brave enough, dip or toe or two!
After morning tea your tour guide will drive through the township of Adventure Bay in search of a Bennet's White Wallaby. Please note, seeing the white wallaby is not guaranteed as they are wildlife however, our guides will try their best to find one!

Nice guide nice view nice food
A Must - best Bruny Island experience
Jimmy was really an excellent tour guide. My husband and I had a great time with our Bruny Island tour experience. Highly recommended
Bruny Island trek
Our guide Marina was excellent with commentary to and from and while we were on the island. It was very informative.
Wonderful experience
Trip was very well planned and our guides Rick and Phil had a sound knowledge of the places we visited and narration was equally good. Could see and experience all major sightseeing places without rushing.
A Perfect Day on Bruny Island
What an absolutely wonderful day out! From the moment we were picked up, it was clear this was going to be something special. Our guide, Jimmy, set the tone immediately — knowledgeable, warm, and full of fascinating insights into life on Bruny Island. He truly made the experience. This is a full-day tour, but the hours disappear in the best possible way. After a scenic ferry crossing to Bruny Island, we first stopped to taste the local honey. From there, we settled into a gorgeous beach stop for morning tea — a beautifully curated spread of local cheeses, freshly baked bread, and plump, freshly shucked oysters. It was the perfect introduction to the island's remarkable food culture. The highlight for history lovers was a visit to the second-oldest lighthouse in Tasmania, where the local lighthouse keeper led us on a guided tour to the very top. The views and the stories were equally breathtaking. From there, we made our way to the famous isthmus — the narrow strip of land that connects the two halves of Bruny Island — for a short walk and some truly spectacular scenery. A stop at a local artisan estate offered chocolate tasting (and optional whiskey tasting for those so inclined), showcasing the island's incredible artisans. Before heading back, guests had the chance to purchase fresh oysters to take home for the evening — a lovely final touch. Lunch at the Bruny Island Hotel was a real highlight too. The portions were generous, the menu featured a wonderful variety of fresh, locally sourced food, and the relaxed setting was perfect after a morning of exploring. The small tour bus was spotless, comfortable, and never felt crowded. Jimmy's expertise and genuine passion for the island made every stop memorable. Whether you're a foodie, a history buff, or simply looking for a memorable day out, this tour delivers on every front.
