This is a great opportunity to see the beauty of Bruno Island and experience local food and drink . We ate amazing Pacific oysters, cheese, bread, honey and seafood. It is along day but worth it. Jimmy told us lots of great stories and facts about the island.

Jimmy, our guide and driver, was wonderful. A really special day and a variety of experiences. Don’t miss this if you are in Tasmania.

Good group, gorgeous views, great tour! What more would you want? Oh wait, an extremely knowledgeable and accomodating tour guide that plays driver, chef, and photographer? You get all that, and more on this tour :) Thanks Jimmy!

Great day with Wifey and the tour provided us with great highlights, including oysters, fine cheeses, a lovely seafood lunch, a visit to the chocolate factory, fantastic sightseeing plus great commentary. Thanks Team Bruny Island Safaris.

We joined a Bruny Island day tour yesterday and had an amazing experience. Our guide was fantastic — very knowledgeable, engaging, and made the whole journey so enjoyable. He also went the extra mile by dropping everyone back at their hotels, which we really appreciated. He worked so hard throughout the day, and his passion and professionalism made the tour truly memorable. Highly recommend this tour and our wonderful guide!

A wonderful and full day led by a passionate and knowledgeable driver/guide, Jimmy. A great coverage of history, experiences like a private tour up the Bruny Island lighthouse and, of course, foods like the wonderful cheeses, honey and lunch at the Bruny Pub. While it may be a nit more expensive than other Bruny Island tours, it is all encompassing without additional costs (unless you want to buy some of the cheeses and honey that you had a chance to try of course). A wonderful small group (and not crammed into a small van) and guide. He even stopped by a bottle shop on the way back to Hobart to allow passengers to buy some wines to go with the bread and cheeses bought on the tour (these additional ad hoc offers makes for a great and considerate tour guide). Well worth it. Many thanks.

Even though we weren’t able to see the White Wallabies (too shy today) our Guide Jimmy more than made up for it…. Jimmy’s sense of humour and genuine hospitality made my hubby’s Birthday most memorable. Even better when we found out it was our tour guide’s birthday as well. Fancy working on your own birthday, bringing joy to others, definitely deserve an extra star!! We will definitely recommend the tour to family and friends. Thank you for such a wonderful tour today and wishing you a very Happy Birthday also Jimmy! Thank you Kim & Sebastian

Went on an all inclusive Bruny Island day drip from.Hobart with Bruny Island Safari Tours. Our driver and tour guide, Jimmy, was awesome. Very friendly, respectful, and informative. We had the absolute best day exploring beautiful Bruny Island, with the best stop overs for morning tea, fresh bread and cheese, and freshly shucked oysters, scenic views, honey tasting, lighthouse visit, an amazing lunch, chocolate tasting, more cheese sampling - then heading back to Hobart. An absolutely beautiful day. Thanks again Jimmy. We will definitely come back with family and friends!!
