Had a great day on this tour, our guide Ben was awesome. Perfect amount of food, drinks and sight seeing.
Fabulous tour. A mix of natural sights and delicious food. Our tour guide Dave was very helpful and entertaining!
The day was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Every stop was fantastic, each vendor was welcoming and genuinely passionate about what they do, and the company was a pleasure to deal with while helping us sort out the finer details before the tour. The standout, by far, was our guide, Zoe. Her knowledge of Bruny Island, its history, the local community, and the vendors was second to none. She was friendly, approachable, and somehow managed to spend time with everyone in our group of 16, making each person feel included and tailoring the experience to them. Throughout the day she got to know us, shared stories you simply wouldn’t get anywhere else, and took us to some absolutely breathtaking locations. What impressed me most was how deeply she cared, not just about the island, but about making sure every guest had an unforgettable day. Her enthusiasm and passion were infectious, and it’s genuinely the best tour I’ve ever been on. It was the highlight of our week in Tasmania, and I couldn’t recommend it more highly

Highly recommend this tour. The guide Kieran was excellent, all the stops were interesting. The morning tea, lunch and snacks were delicious. They catered really well for my gluten free, coeliac diet. Bonus were the complementary gifts from different stops, generous sized and delicious. We nearly cancelled as it was a rainy, cold and miserable day. So glad we didn’t! Plenty to see and do, we didn’t get wet. The island looked beautiful with grey clouds, photos were great.
Thank you for your wonderful review, Kylie! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the Bruny Island Traveller experience and that Kieran helped make the day so memorable.

We’re especially pleased that our team was able to cater well for your gluten-free coeliac diet, as ensuring all guests can enjoy the local produce is very important to us. We’re also glad you decided not to let the weather deter you! Bruny Island has a special beauty in all conditions, and those dramatic skies can make for some incredible photos.
