Adventurers will be in their element at the South Bruny National Park. Climb to the top of the Cape Bruny Lighthouse (one of the oldest in Australia) for a view across the Tasman Sea; head to Cloudy Bay to watch the surfers (bear in mind that the notoriously rough surf is best left to experienced surfers); or cool off with a swim at Adventure Bay or Jetty Beach.
Hikers can choose from a network of scenic trails, such as the Grass Point Walk, which passes an old whaling station; the Fluted Cape walk, which climbs along the dolerite sea cliffs; or the Labillardiere Peninsula Circuit, which loops around the southwestern tip of the island.
