What to expect
After collecting you from Hobart, the bus crosses to Bruny Island and heads straight to a secluded beach for morning tea—oysters, cheese and bread paired with views. From there you'll stop at lookouts including Truganini, climb the lighthouse tower (skip the stairs if you've young kids under five), and walk through South Bruny National Park. Mid-morning brings honey and chocolate tastings at two producers, then lunch at Hotel Bruny before the return ferry. Your guide shares local history throughout, including tales of life at the lighthouse itself. Wallaby sightings aren't guaranteed but are likely.
