Crossing To Paradise
Start your one-day adventure with the short ferry ride across D’Entrecasteaux Channel. Here, you can experience seabirds gliding above you, and you can totally experience this with a coffee in hand. Sounds interesting, right? Yes, it’s more than interesting, it’s a kind of calm crossing that you can feel. Slowly, as the sky clears out, here you can see that Bruny reveals itself. Experience cliffs, farmlands, cloves, and more!
Bruny Iconic Landmark
Next, step into the Neck lookout, the narrow isthmus linking North and South Bruny. Indulge in a short climb up using the wooden steps to Trganini Lookout. This place is mesmerizing and can’t be explained with just words. A total 360-degree view, incorporating long golden beaches, waves crashing against a rugged coastline. Dusk makes this more magical, as tinny little Penguins waddle ashore.
Fresh Oysters & Artisan Cheese
I bet your appetite is calling! So, why not try out the authentic flavors of Bruny?
- Get Shucked Oyster Farm- Stops for fresh oysters are a must when visiting Tasmania. How can you refuse them when they’re more tasty and more reasonably priced here (roughly $24–28 a dozen)? In addition to growing its own Pacific oysters, Get Shucked is an oyster farm that serves guests on the island with a fully licensed bar. They don’t oversell when they say that the oysters are “so fresh it’s like you’re being kissed by the ocean.” With a glass of local wine, you may savour freshly caught and shucked oysters that day in their charming outdoor setting. You could even be fortunate enough to find a seat overlooking the water.
- Bruny Island Cheese Co. – Founded by legendary cheesemaker Nick Haddow, this stop is heaven for cheese lovers. From creamy soft varieties to bold aged wheels, every bite pairs beautifully with Tasmanian wine.
Cape Bruny Lighthouse
Next, after testing Bruny Island’s amazing treats, you can roll towards the South. Here you can experience the cliffs merging with the restless sea at South Bruny National Park. Also, the lighthouse holds a heritage as it was built in 1838 by convict labor. Climb to the top and enjoy the breathtaking view of the vast Southern Ocean, rugged headlands, and winds that carry whispers of history. It’s a place that feels both timeless and humbling.
Cloudy Bay
Just beside the lighthouse lies the Cloudy Bay. If you are a person who loves to indulge in surfing, then this is a powerhouse. One side of this is perfect for surfing with powerful waves, and the other side offers a spot for walking and picnicking.
Pennicott Wilderness Cruise
Next up, experience the legendary, award-winning, three-hour eco tour with Pennicott Wilderness Cruise. Dive deep into the caves, cliffs carved by the ocean. Expect seals to view, dolphins around you, and more. If you are lucky, you can also spot migrating waves at Bruny Island Tour.
Southernmost Vineyard
You can’t miss this place. You came to Bruny Island and didn’t taste the Bruny Island Premium Wines? It can’t be! There’s no better way to toast your island day than at Bruny Island Premium Wines in Lunawanna. This family-run vineyard is the southernmost in Australia, producing elegant Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
The experience becomes the ideal fusion of taste and landscape when you pair your glass with a dish of regional lamb or shellfish.
Other Sweet Delights to Try on Bruny Island Tours
- Bruny Island Chocolate Co.
Despite having a little storefront, they provide a large selection of chocolate bars, fudge, bite-sized bags, and truffles. Honey, berries, and even sea salt are among the many locally obtained components utilised in their goods from the surrounding Tasmanian countryside. Their fudge, such as the Hounds Tooth Fudge made with whisky from the neighbouring Hounds Tooth Distillery, is especially well-known.
- Bruny Island Honey
Leatherwood honey, their distinctive product, is highly valued due to its distinct flavour and scarcity. Nectar from the blossoms of Leatherwood trees, which are indigenous to Tasmania’s rainforests, is used by bees to produce honey.
