Fantastisches Essen, wenig Bewegung

Das Essen auf dieser Tour war hervorragend, man konnte das Mittagessen aus einer Karte wählen. Allerdings hat mir ein wenig die Bewegung gefehlt, der einzige Walk war der zum Leuchtturm, ansonsten saß man nur im Bus und wurde durch die Gegend kutschiert. Für diejenigen, die gutes tasmanisches Essen probieren und einkaufen möchten, ist diese Tour sehr empfehlenswert!

Thank you for coming on tour with us Lisa, we are glad you enjoyed the food and scenery. We do cover a significant area of Bruny Island during the day and to allow our guests to see the extensive sights, there is a lot of ground covered. Unfortunately on the day of your tour, The Neck Lookout was closed due to extensive renovations and you would not have been able to walk up the hundreds of steps to see the view. It is open again now and we find that our guests do enjoy the exercise! Thanks again for coming on tour with us. Team Bruny Island Safaris

Great Experience

I recently had the pleasure of joining a tour of Bruny Island in Tasmania, and I must say, despite the less-than-ideal weather, it was a fantastic experience! The island’s natural beauty is truly breathtaking, with its rugged coastlines, lush forests, and stunning beaches. The tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, providing fascinating insights into the island’s history, wildlife, and environment. One of the highlights was visiting The Neck, where we got to witness the sweeping views from the lookout. Even with the cloudy skies and occasional rain, the scenery was still stunning. We also had the opportunity to sample some of Bruny’s famous local produce. From cheese to oysters and chocolate, the island’s food offerings are a delight for the tastebuds. While the weather wasn’t the best, with intermittent showers and strong winds, it didn’t dampen the overall experience. If anything, the dramatic skies added a certain charm to the island's rugged landscapes. It’s a testament to how beautiful Bruny Island is that even in less-than-perfect conditions, the tour remained a highlight of my trip. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Tasmania—just be sure to check the forecast and bring appropriate clothing in case the weather decides to be unpredictable!
