Traveler reviews
Highly recommend
We had a fantastic day. Our guide Rick was great and informative on all things about the island. Having the all inclusive tour meant that when we stopped, no waiting in queues as it was all organised and ready. Would thoroughly recommend this experience.
An unforgettable day exploring Bruny Island !
We had an amazing day exploring Bruny Island as a couple. The tour was very well organised, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared lots of interesting information about the island’s history, wildlife, and local culture. One feature we really appreciated was the app, which allowed us to listen to the information about each stop in our own language. Being able to hear everything in Spanish made the experience even more enjoyable and accessible. Our guide timed each stop perfectly, so we arrived before the crowds. This gave us the opportunity to enjoy every location peacefully and take amazing photos before it became busy. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, with stunning coastal views, beautiful beaches, and plenty of opportunities to take incredible photos. We also loved stopping to sample local produce along the way. It was the perfect balance of sightseeing, nature, and relaxation. We never felt rushed, and every stop was worth it. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Tasmania. It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip!
Shine a little light
Excellent tour. The guide was very informative and enthusiastic.
Driver is a racist
The scenery along the way was beautiful, and the oysters were delicious, but the driver was so racist. Throughout the trip, this driver kept making racist remarks—like how Asians can’t drive, or that Black people in Melbourne are criminals, and so on. Come on, shut your mouth! This is a vacation; everyone’s here to relax and enjoy the view, not to listen to your offensive speech. The scenery was beautiful, but the driver completely ruined the whole experience.
Wonderful Tour plenty of food
Wonderful tour and the driver Jimmy was very knowledgeable and funny. Great whole day adventure with plenty of inclusions.
