We thoroughly enjoyed our day on Bruny. Guide Jacob was excellent keeping the day rolling and providing lots of information with just the right mix of humour and detail. It was a full day with great variety in experiences. Lunch was delicious and the cheese tasting a highlight. Highly recommend.

Highly recommended for the first time in Bruny Island! Our guide/driver Jeff is so nice and knowledgeable. It’s a good choice who doesn’t have experience in Tasmania. Lighthouse is the best part. And also the lunch in Hotel Bruny is fantastic. Must try the homemade brewery!

So much packed into one day. It was amazing. So much food , drink and samples included. The island is so pretty. Oh and our bus driver was informative as well as entertaining. Highly recommend this tour.

Fantastic way to explore Bruny island and great value for money! Highly recommend this trip!

The best tour ever, soooo worth it, a must do if you’re going to Tasmania!
