2 Day Bruny Island & Port Arthur Tour From Hobart

We will reach out to you the week of your tours to confirm your pickup details. There is no order in which you take the tours unless requested.

Bruny Island Day Tour

Arguably Tasmania's best day trip! At the end of this day, you will understand why the tourist numbers have doubled in the past 4 years! Bruny Island has a little bit of everything mainland Tasmania has - world class beaches, national parks, rugged coastline and native wildlife matched with the finest local produce from the ocean and the land. 

While it's impossible to do everything in one day, we have designed various tours to fit in with the day’s weather conditions so we can provide the most enjoyable experience. You can expect an active (easy/moderate level) morning with nature walks, albino wallaby spotting, spectacular scenery lookouts, exploring pristine beaches and lagoon (swimming optional). This tour takes you off the beaten track and into areas that are only accessible by walking tracks that only locals know about. 

After an adventurous morning, it will be time to pull it back a gear as we head for lunch at the Bruny Hotel, with many options to suit budgets and dietary requirements. After lunch, unwind and relax as we sample some award winning local produce. Honey, chocolate fudge, cheese, beverages and oysters are all possibilities (time pending and at own cost)! 

Some of the things you can expect to see and do:

(some will be weather and time permitting)

• Temperate rainforest walk


• Walking tracks (easy to moderate level)


• Swimming (weather permitting)


• Wildlife spotting (we know some of the hiding spots of the elusive albino wallaby which may allow for a spotting!)


• Viewing platform at the Neck


• Cape Bruny Lighthouse 


• Secret water holes and lagoons


• Picturesque beaches


• Sample award winning food at own cost. (cheese, wine, beer, cider, honey, chocolate and oysters).


• Lunch stop (own cost)


• Please note: It is impossible to go to every attraction in a day. So we like to mix up the days to best suit the group on board for the day and to suit the weather conditions to ensure you guys get the best day possible without it feeling rushed.

Port Arthur and the Tasman Peninsula Day Tour

On route to Port Arthur, we will stop at Pirates Bay lookout to soak up the scenery and take a photo or two.Then it's on to the Dog Line monument at Eaglehawk Neck! The next stop will have the mouths of sweet tooth's watering as we visit the Tasmanian Chocolate Foundry. Following the chocolate factory, we will visit the beautiful Port Arthur Lavender Farm. Explore the unique handmade products made from Tasmanian Lavender and take a stroll around the scenic lavender trail. Up next is the Port Arthur Historic Site. Immerse yourself in the fascinating, rich and dark history of the best-preserved penal settlement in Australia. Admission is at own cost and entry fee will include a 20-minute harbour cruise. If history is what you came for, enjoy the full 4 hours exploring the historic site. If you are up for one more experience, then you can hop back onboard the bus after 3 hours for a trip to the Remarkable Cave. Just a short 8-minute drive away, you will be greeted with the spectacular vista of Maingon Bay. At the lookout you can take in the exceptional views of Penguin Rocks and the bay. You can then descend down the 115 steps to view the Remarkable Cave from a viewing platform where you will be surrounded by ancient sandstone cliffs. We will then return back to the historic site to pick up the remaining passengers at 4pm and return to Hobart at 5:30pm.
