WOW. The most epic way to experience Tasmania. Your day starts in Hobart, where you board a bus and eventually ferry that takes you to Bruny Island. First, we stopped at this beautiful viewing point that overlooked the stunning beaches and mountains in the background. Then, we had a light breakfast and geared up for the speed boats.
