Traveler reviews
Breath taking Island views with culinary delights.
The entire day was full of exceptional experiences that exceeded my expectations. Luis personal knowledge of the Island and passion for Bruny and its sustainability was joyful to hear. The food experiences were delicious with the cheese tasting and beer breakfast a highlight within the tour.
Just do it
Just do it. The best value. You get a quality and passionate guide (thanks Allen), taste and take home quality products, and the lunch is delicious. There is so much to see but yu don’t feel rushed at all and all the information is well delivered and interesting and it’s a great feeling supporting the local producers and also conservation initiatives. Thanks to the whole team
Breathtaking Bruny Island and lovely locals
I cannot recommend this experience enough. A wonderful day on Bruny Island guided by the very knowledgeable and funny Dan. Everywhere we visited we were greeted by friendly local people who were proud of their product and rightly so.
Exploring Tasmania
Today I participated on a Tour at Bruny island showing some food production as cheese & beer, honey, chocolates etc with tasting. We had on a beautiful location lunch with fresh Oysters and fish of the day. In between we had walks at the beach, in a private garden and in the rainforest. Dan was a very friendly and cultivated Guide and he explained us a lot about the history of Tasmania. Moreover the sun was shining and we had a wonderful and calm day!
Amazing day trip
Amazing day. Brilliant tour guide. Saw and learnt so much. Stood on the beach where Capt Cook landed his ship! Great value for money.
