This great value day offers an active experience for walking enthusiasts or a more relaxed day for others. Just 25 miles south of Hobart, we board the ferry to Bruny Island in the quaint harbor town of Kettering to cruise down the D’Entrecastreaux Channel.

Heading south, we cross the isthmus that connects North and South Bruny and continue to South Bruny National Park and Cape Bruny. This scenic drive reveals the island’s wild beauty and rugged coastline, with views of wide bays, idyllic sandy beaches, wild rocky headlands and eucalyptus forests.

At the convict-built Cape Bruny Lighthouse, our guide will tell you stories of the region’s maritime history as you gaze out over the vast Southern Ocean. We will venture out to Lighthouse Beach while searching for Tassie’s Spiky Echidna.

At Adventure Bay, we’ll stop at historic Two Tree Point for morning tea featuring famous Bruny Island local produce, with tastings of Get Shucked Oysters, Bruny Island Cheese, and local sourdough. Then continue on our featured hike to Fluted Cape, with its incredible ocean views over majestic dolerite cliffs.

This is the best short walk on Bruny Island, but if you prefer something less challenging, a walk to Grass Point or along the bay’s white sand beach won’t disappoint, especially with the chance to see Bruny’s famous white kangaroos.

The highlights continue as we visit Truganini on The Neck, for stunning 360 degree views. To cap off an active day, you might want to try Bruny’s other local tastings, like leather honey, or maybe opt for a craft beer from Bruny Beer and Cheese Co.
