Your experience

Cruising Bruny Island’s wild coast

Set sail on a 3-hour wilderness cruise around Bruny Island, where towering cliffs rise dramatically from the Southern Ocean, and sea caves and rocky outcrops carve the coastline. Dolphins leap from the waves, while seals rest on sun-drenched rocks. Watch for seabirds and migrating whales, all framed by breathtaking views of landmarks like Fluted Cape and the majestic Breathing Rock blowhole. This is a front-row seat to Bruny’s rugged and untouched beauty.

Island tour and scenic lunch stop

In Adventure Bay, enjoy a freshly prepared lunch featuring local Tasmanian seafood—crisp fish and chips or comforting pumpkin soup paired with gourmet salad rolls. This scenic meal offers the perfect opportunity to relax before continuing your journey through Bruny's pristine beaches and wildlife-filled reserves. After lunch, your adventure continues with a bus tour of Bruny Island’s most iconic spots. Stop at The Neck Lookout for panoramic views of the island’s landscapes, including turquoise seas meeting lush greenery. Keep an eye out for the elusive white wallaby along the way.
