Arguably Tasmania’s best day trip! At the end of this day, you will understand why the tourist numbers have doubled in the past 4 years! Bruny Island has a little bit of everything mainland Tasmania has – world class beaches, national parks, rugged coastline and native wildlife matched with the finest local produce from the ocean and the land.
While it’s impossible to do everything in one day, we have designed various tours to fit in with the day’s weather conditions so we can provide the most enjoyable experience. You can expect an active (easy/moderate level) morning with nature walks, albino wallaby spotting, spectacular scenery lookouts, exploring pristine beaches and lagoon (swimming optional). This tour takes you off the beaten track and into areas that are only accessible by walking tracks that only locals know about.
After an adventurous morning, it will be time to pull it back a gear as we head for lunch at the Bruny Hotel, with many options to suit budgets and dietary requirements. After lunch, unwind and relax as we sample some award winning local produce. Honey, chocolate fudge, beverages and oysters are all possibilities (time pending and at own cost)!
Some of the things you can expect to see and do:
(some will be weather and time permitting)
- Temperate rainforest walk
- Walking tracks (easy to moderate level)
- Swimming (weather permitting)
- Wildlife spotting (we know some of the hiding spots of the elusive albino wallaby which may allow for a spotting!)
- Viewing platform at the Neck
- Cape Bruny Lighthouse
- Secret water holes and lagoons
- Picturesque beaches
- Sample award-winning food at your own cost, like honey, chocolate and oysters.
- Lunch stop (own cost)
- Please note: It is impossible to go to every attraction in a day. So we like to mix up the days to best suit the group on board for the day and to suit the weather conditions to ensure you guys get the best day possible without it feeling rushed.

Whether it was quirky colonial trivia or insights into Tasmania’s evolving culture, Mark tailored the experience to our group’s interests with impressive finesse. It felt less like a tour and more like being shown around by a passionate local friend who genuinely loves this city.
The pacing was perfect, the sites were stunning, and Mark’s commentary added layers of meaning to everything we saw. If you’re looking for a tour that’s both informative and delightfully human, this is it.
Highly recommend booking with Mark—you’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for Hobart and a smile that lasts well beyond the final stop. We booked via Klook btw











Booked two days before and it was smooth from picking up to dropping off. The Bruny Island tour is recommended!
Lunch spot at the Bruny hotel, food was substantial and tasty! Don't have to worry about your lunch peeps!









Knew their job inside out.
So helpful and understand you as an individual. I would chose this tour company again just because I felt it was important to them that we were looked after.



Our guide Jodi was fantastic and kept us entertained throughout the day with her knowledge and wits.
We were hitting all the spots on time and had sufficient time to visit and check out all the pitstops.
Would highly recommend this day trip or Tassie Tours in general to anyone looking for day trips (or longer) out of Hobart.

Yesterday, we had a very experienced local tour guide, Gerard, who took us to Mount Wellington, Salamanca Market, The Wicked Cheese Co, Richmond Bridge and Bonorong Wildlife. Not only was Gerald approachable, but also he answered our questions about these places openly.
.
Today, we had another friendly and approachable tour guide, Campbell who made the entire trip to Port Arthur Historic Site fun and enjoyable. He shared what he knew about the history of Port Arthur to prep us before we reached the place. He also showed us different places along the route as bonuses. We happened to see a coach under Gray Line that did not even stop at a scenic spot (in fact, the coach just drove past the spot and left) whereas we had the photo opportunity. So well you know why we prefer Tassie Tour over bigger tour companies.
.
One more thing to add, we had a very experienced local tour guide, Andrew, who took us to Bruny Island today. He was born here and he was from Bruny Island. How lucky we had a local guide to tell us everything we need to know about Bruny Island. The lunch at Hotel Bruny was great too. A totally enjoyable experience with Tassie Tours.









Best oysters ever with wasabi cream from Get Shucked! Amazing cheese from Cheese and Beer Co. Picked up some Black Pudding beer as well!! I could survive on Bruny with just these 2 places! And of course the scenery was breathtaking as you would expect. Thanks again Andrew you are awesome!!

The customer experience they provide is exceptional.
They prioritize customer satisfaction over financial gain.
I have participated in four tours in Hobart, three of which were with this company. I had an extremely enjoyable time on these tours.
I would particularly like to commend their outstanding tour guide, Mark. He consistently goes above and beyond to ensure that everyone has a memorable experience. He is passionate about his job and takes the time to interact with each participant individually. His extensive knowledge extends beyond Tasmania and encompasses a wide range of global topics.
Furthermore, the customer service provided by the office staff is exceptional. They are understanding, thoughtful, and always willing to assist.
Pick up was a breeze right out front of our hotel. Mark was our tour guide I'd have to say his knowledge on the history was amazing given us an insight into the past history of the area. I'd recommend doing this day trip I was going to do the drive myself but glad we went ahead with the tour as we wouldn't have seen as much.
Even had a special guest aboard Ross Lyon

Jody our driver & guide was excellent.
We packed a lot in on the day & it was great. There was literally no time to visit the cheese, chocolate or honey shops. They were really rushed visits but i didn't mind as i wasn't on the trip to shop.
The sights were fantastic.
I highly recommend doing this day trip.



Richard & Shannon were very helpful and personable guides and went above board to answer questions and make sure everyone got the most of the trip - which was outstanding by the way. Definitely worth booking while in Tasmania.
Even though our ship was the earliest to leave port in months, we were in plenty of time for the last shuttle back to port.
I highly recommend Tassie Tours. Top notch excursion.



I rang Tassie Tours who were professional and provided a fantastic value for money tour on places we wanted to visit.
Our first tour was to Sheffield and Cradle Mountain, Richard was our tour guide and bus commentary - he was passionate about Tassie and there was hardly a question he could not answer. He was also good at taking photographs of us which was very helpful! There was also a female guide with Richard who was great, sorry I forgot her name!
Our second tour was of Hobart highlights - history of Hobart and many historic landmarks and lookouts, Mt Wellington and a stopover at Richmond where we had lunch and a shop.
We even were able to sneak in a stop at Bonorong Animal Sanctuary where we could feed the kangaroos and I watched a baby wombat eating a carrot - it was the most magical experience as I love wombats.
Our guide and bus driver was Mark.
Mark was engaging and remembered all of our names - he also had a great sense of humour and was able to engage the bus in very interesting topics of conversation. Mark is well travelled and had a very wide knowledge of not only Tasmania but many other countries. I really enjoyed Mark and rate him highly as a tour guide and genuine person to talk with.
I would recommend Tassie Tours to anyone and also to people on a cruise - they are good value for money and will not let you down. I am so grateful we chose them for our tours.
On the second day we went with Anni she is fascinated by animals and knows all the facts. Very friendly and helpful.
I would definitely recommend this company for a tour!!!








Our tour guide Mark was fantastic , very knowledgeable and a great sense of humour .
We got to see so much of Port Athur and Hobart.
We cannot wait to get back to Taasmania and will definatly be doing the rest of the tours that Tassie tours have to offer .
