Had a great day in Bruny Island, thanks to the friendly and informative guide, Jimmy and nice, friendly tour mates and a 5 year old buzzing-bee kid. Perfect for solo (like me), with friends or family. Bruny Island experience is a must and this particular tour allows you the option of choosing your own tasting experience that suits your palette. The guide even rewarded us with ride back to our hotels, all 12 of us. Beautiful, beautiful island, love it!

Bruny Island Safaris
We had such a great day on Bruny Island, and Nigel was a huge part of what made the tour so memorable. The best way I can describe him is that it felt less like being on a generic guided tour and more like having a cool uncle drive you around the island showing you all of his favorite places. He was incredibly knowledgeable, easygoing, and genuinely seemed to love sharing Bruny Island with us.
This is definitely more of a nature, wildlife, sightseeing and history-focused tour than a food tour. If your main goal is spending lots of time tasting cheese, oysters, wine, etc., there are other all-inclusive tours that focus more heavily on those experiences. For us, the balance was perfect because we really wanted to see and learn about the island itself.
The Cape Bruny Lighthouse was one of the highlights. The wind at the top was absolutely insane, which somehow made the experience even more fun, and the lighthouse guide was extremely knowledgeable. We loved learning about the history of the lighthouse and the people who lived and worked there.
Truganini Lookout at The Neck was another beautiful stop. Nigel did a great job explaining the cultural significance of the area before we arrived, as well as setting expectations about the penguins and seabirds that live around The Neck. The views were spectacular.
One of my favorite things about the day was how much effort Nigel put into helping us spot wildlife. We saw the famous white wallabies, pademelons and what felt like at least 15 different species of birds. He wasn't simply pointing animals out either. He taught us about what we were seeing and was constantly keeping an eye out as we drove around the island.
We also really enjoyed Bruny Island Honey and learning about the family-run business. We ended up buying a ridiculous amount of honey, so clearly their sales strategy worked on us! The stop at Bruny Island Chocolate Company was fine, although it was a little strange that there weren't any samples. I probably would have bought more chocolate if I'd actually been able to try some first.
Toward the end of the day we stopped at Bruny Island Cheese Co. We had about 30 minutes there, so it did feel a little rushed. We were able to try a few wines and had the smoked wallaby, which was really good, but there wasn't much time to learn about or explore the cheeses themselves.
Our final stop was Get Shucked Oysters, and I actually really liked having this as the last stop of the day. Again, around 30 minutes went quickly and it felt a little rushed, but it was still a fun way to finish the island portion of the tour before heading back to Hobart.
Overall, this was a fantastic day and I would absolutely recommend it, especially for nature lovers, wildlife lovers and history buffs. Nigel was wonderful and really made the experience. If cheese and oysters are the main reason you're visiting Bruny, I'd probably spend the extra money on one of the food-focused all-inclusive tours. But if you want to actually explore Bruny Island, see its wildlife, learn some history, visit the lighthouse and still get a taste of the local producers along the way, this tour is a great choice.
