Ticketing was easy and fast. Grant our guide was very knowledgeable and had a ton of information that he gladly shared. Lunch at the Pub was delicious and the sightseeing was great. Enjoyed the chocolate samples, the honey goodies and of course the oysters were amazing! Thank you for an enjoyable day and all the best to Grant for his upcoming retirement!

Jimmy was an excellent guide, informative and not overbearing. He also seemed to provide an endless series of opportunities to try local produce. We had a great time

The guide was very patient, pleasant and knowledgeable. Please note, there were no feedback multiple choice options that adequately described the nature of my feedback, so I had to select 'my guide was 'rude unpleasant' (the guide was neither) because I would not have been able to submit written feedback otherwise. There were a couple of comments I had regarding language used by the guide during the trip. The first was about inclusive language for attendees. There were times when the guide referred to attendees as 'ladies and gentleman', which doesn't recognise my identity as a non-binary attendee (that is, someone who isn't exclusively either male or female). Using alternative language like 'everyone' or 'team' avoids excluding non-binary attendees. A second comment I had was around commentary regarding Bruny Island. A comment was made by the host about how a number of people living on the Island had become 'Cook crazy', by naming street signs etc. after James Cook. This was communicated as an interesting fact attendees might be interested in, rather than as being something that could make First Nations attendees and First Nations residents on Bruny Island feel culturally unsafe about, given Cook's role in the violent colonisation of Australia. Recognising the harmful racial and colonial implications of naming landmarks etc. after colonists like James Cook, particularly given many colonised countries are deliberately heading in the opposite direction, and removing reference to colonists, would have demonstrated more sensitivity, and helped educate attendees.

Weathered walls and wallabies
Here's a full day of fun: Hit the road early and grab a pick-me-up at Gateway Cafe before you cross the D’Entrecasteaux Channel by ferry. Every bend is a photo-opp and expert guides ensure you don’t miss those frameable moments. Upon arrival on Bruny Island, soak in the beauty of Mount Mangana where elusive white wallabies may be seen between ferns and in the paddocks. Stop at many click-worthy spots– the Neck Wildlife Zone, Truganini Lookout, Two Tree Point, and Cape Bruny Lighthouse Station.
Psst.. the past is calling. The weathered walls of Tasmanian lighthouses shield tales of a bygone era – shipwrecks, brave lighthouse keepers who guided lost souls home, and the drama of countless storms. Ascend the spiral iron staircase to enjoy spectacular coastal views from the Cape Bruny Lighthouse.
Your tastebuds’ ticket to Tasmania
Savour delicious cheese, fresh oysters, and freshly baked bread. During lunch, feast on ocean-to-plate delicacies, succulent local lamb, and spectacular views over the waterways. Seal the deal with fudge and chocolate samples, and honey tastings all before heading home with a full heart, tummy, and phone gallery.
