Tour Description

Bruny Island Overnight Explorer – Pure Indulgence with Nature and Food. This is the ultimate way to explore Bruny Island and really settle into the groove of rest and play on Tasmania's' most popular island. All meals and accommodation are included.


Day 1
Coffee & Breakfast at the Bruny Island Gateway on us….

Enjoy the ferry journey to Bruny Island, crossing the D’Entrecasteaux Channel, one of Tasmania's most popular waterways boasting 300kmS of coastlines around the island & channel with 100's of sheltered bays for the sailors anchoring for a night away.

Boat Cruise by Pennicott Wilderness Journey’s 10:30 am – 2 pm (Extra). Or if not participating we will do the Mavista Falls walk into the Tree Fern forests and explore the back roads. A very easy walk….

Head over Mount Mangana to Lunawanna, through rainforests and experience amazing scenery across the island. Your guide will point out many of our Tasmanian Timber species and even taste some of our Tasmanian Pepper bushes if you are game.

Late Lunch at Bruny Island Premium Wines. Join a wine tasting and select a bottle of Bruny Island Wine to take back to your accommodation for the evening (1 bottle per couple).


Visit the South Bruny National Park and Cape Bruny Lightstation, where you can enjoy optional walks of varying levels and join your very own private tour of the Cape Bruny Lighthouse perched above the pounding oceans and craggy coastlines of Southern Tasmania. This will be a late tour and almost bordering on sunset in the cooler months.

Dinner is at Hotel Bruny who are world renowned for providing a wonderful Seafood Chowder, Slow Cooked local lamb and many other hearty dishes. Wash this down with a Bruny Island Cider or local Beer…

Your guide will escort you to your accommodation.... We have many magnificent properties to choose from and will discuss the possibilities with you at the time of booking.


Day 2

We will supply a breakfast of fresh bread, local jam, fruit and cereal, coffee and tea.
Enjoy your breakfast at a leisurely pace before your guide arrives to begin your second day exploring Bruny Island. Breakfast is prepared by you in your own kitchen. Depart by 9 am.


Enjoy a nature-based walk on the Fluted Cape track to Grass Point and Penguin Island or beyond if you wish. From Grass Point, the track climbs steeply to the summit of Fluted Cape (272m), passing the very high sea cliffs. This walk can be changed to suit your ability and should be discussed prior to the tour commencing….The Fluted Cape walk allows you to experience dry forests, whaling history and evidence still seen today. Views towards the Tasman Peninsula, towering sea-cliffs, and the opportunity to see Wedge Tailed and white Bellied Sea-eagles soaring in the thermals. In walking this track, the circular route can be taken by following the Fluted Cape circuit signs. Please note that this walk should not be attempted by young children unless closely supervised. White Wallaby is seen on this walk most days.


After your walk visit the local chocolate makers and sample some of their products.


Then on to the Neck / Truganini Lookout and Wildlife Zone - Amazing views across Adventure Bay towards Fluted Cape, Tasman Peninsula and D’Entrecasteaux Channel. Pay respect to the original residents of Bruny Island, the Nuenonne People. The Nuenonne band occupied Bruny Island on a permanent basis and their total numbers are estimated to be some 70 people. The Nuenonne people called the island Lunawannalonna. This name is retained in the names of two settlements on South Bruny, Alonnah and Lunawanna, meaning land across the water.


Visit the local cheesemakers for lunch, settle in for a Cheese Platter & Wood Oven Pizza with tea or coffee. Enjoy a locally brewed beer or cider to accompany your lunch.

Check out the Oyster Farm Factory and sit down to a feed of freshly shucked oysters or cooked if you would prefer.

Bruny Island Honey visit. Enjoy a tasting of some of their delicious honey’s and mustard’s, even sample some of their natural skincare products made with the honey.
