The light house was a beautiful experience. Oysters, honey, cheese, chocolate and then lunch. WOW! Dave, our guide, loves his craft! It showed in the knowledge and passion that he had from the start of the day to the end. We saw so much yet never felt rushed. I thoroughly recommend spending a day out to experience the beautiful Bruny Island with this tour. Eamonn and Lani

My experience with Bruni Safaris on Bruny Island was nothing short of delightful.

My experience with Bruni Safaris on Bruny Island was nothing short of delightful. Lee, our tour guide, exuded warmth and knowledge, enriching our journey with fascinating insights. Sampling local delicacies like oysters, honey, and cheese was a culinary adventure, while lunch by the beach provided a serene backdrop to savor the island's beauty. Lee's passion for the island and its offerings was palpable, making the tour both enjoyable and informative. Overall, it was a fun-filled day of exploration, indulgence, and unforgettable memories. I highly recommend Bruni Safaris for an authentic and enriching Bruny Island experience.

Leigh was an excellent guide. The food and the views were amazing. Had just the right amount of time at every stop.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Hello and thank you for your nice review.

A great trip to Bruny Islad

Yu_F, Apr 2024

I had a great time in Bruny Island with Victor’s experienced tour guide. The only regret was we didn’t manage to get to see The Neck due to traffic congestion around the car park, which left something to expect next time.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thank you for your lovely review and understanding. Unfortunately it was impossible as you observed to access the Neck Park for nearly 1 hour. The congestion on both sides of the park, bus parking full of cars, and cars queuing out onto the road made it impossible and unsafe to access. It was Easter and the island was very congested. This can sometimes happen on long weekends such as Easter.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Hi Genevive, What an amazing day we had! I very much enjoy showing the island off and am sure the lighthouse was the "High light" of the day. ;-) Travel safe and thank you for the great review. Dave

Beautifully rustic Bruny

Piri_S, Mar 2024

Grant was a fantastic guide. Bruny Island was beautifully rustic & wildlife roam freely. Magnificent bush, coastal & beach scenery. Foodie stops were delicious. Excellent day trip tour. Weather was unpredictable. Take a t-shirt, weather proof jacket, hat, sunglasses & comfortable walking shoes.

This trip was amazing!...

Charlotte_G, Feb 2024

This trip was amazing! While there was a lot of driving, we also got great stops for so much amazing food, the driver was flexible and knowledgable, and you got to see an island that a lot of folks don’t get to. Also great for some local souvenir shopping!!

Lovely journey

Na_f, Feb 2024

I had a great time . Andy is very nice and friendly tour guide. Bruny island is definitely worth going and I’m impressed by the natural beauty. I also enjoyed the fresh oysters and a variety of cheese and tasty seafood as well.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Can't beat fresh Oysters and Cheese at 'Resolution Point' at Adventure Bay. Crystal clear water and so many amazing views. So very pleased you had an amazing day.

The best day ever!

Michael_S, Feb 2024

The experience was absolutely incredible. Our tour host, Lee, was just the best. The food was fantastic, the company with the rest of the folks onboard was great and the sights, were amazing. Well worth the price. With a limited time in Tassie, we feel we made the best of day!
