About this tour

A return ferry crossing and guided vehicle tour lead to the centrepiece: a three-hour coastal cruise aboard a purpose-built eco-vessel. You'll navigate towering cliff walls, venture into sea caves, and spot wildlife along remote beaches. Morning tea and lunch keep you fuelled throughout.

What to expect
Your day starts with a ferry crossing to Bruny Island, where a local guide meets you for a vehicle-based exploration of the island's highlights. After morning refreshments, you'll board the eco-cruiser for the main event: a three-hour coastal journey that hugs dramatic cliff edges and dips into sea caves carved by the Southern Ocean. The vessel handles rough conditions well, and you'll likely spot seabirds and marine life from the water. Lunch comes mid-afternoon before the return ferry to Hobart. The pace is leisurely but weather-dependent—conditions can change quickly, so dress in layers.
