Traveler reviews
Not to be missed
The day was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Every stop was fantastic, each vendor was welcoming and genuinely passionate about what they do, and the company was a pleasure to deal with while helping us sort out the finer details before the tour. The standout, by far, was our guide, Zoe. Her knowledge of Bruny Island, its history, the local community, and the vendors was second to none. She was friendly, approachable, and somehow managed to spend time with everyone in our group of 16, making each person feel included and tailoring the experience to them. Throughout the day she got to know us, shared stories you simply wouldn’t get anywhere else, and took us to some absolutely breathtaking locations. What impressed me most was how deeply she cared, not just about the island, but about making sure every guest had an unforgettable day. Her enthusiasm and passion were infectious, and it’s genuinely the best tour I’ve ever been on. It was the highlight of our week in Tasmania, and I couldn’t recommend it more highly
Don’t hesitate
GIVE ZOE A PAY RISE! She was extremely knowledgeable friendly and a gun at driving the bus! The tour was fantastic.
Fantastic time on Bruny Island
Our guide was excellent, very knowledgeable, and seemed like a very good natured guy. The oysters were amazing and I particularly enjoyed going to the cheese factory.
Fantastic tour, well worth it
Highly recommend this tour. The guide Kieran was excellent, all the stops were interesting. The morning tea, lunch and snacks were delicious. They catered really well for my gluten free, coeliac diet. Bonus were the complementary gifts from different stops, generous sized and delicious. We nearly cancelled as it was a rainy, cold and miserable day. So glad we didn’t! Plenty to see and do, we didn’t get wet. The island looked beautiful with grey clouds, photos were great.
Wonderful day! Highly recommend.
We had a wonderful day with Zoe our tour guide, tour was well paced and covered a lot of Bruny Island in the day. We would highly recommend this tour if you want to make the most of your day in Bruny Island.
