Jimmy was a teacher in a previous life. This means that a full day with him is fun and informative. The food was incredibly fresh and varied. This would be a high light of any vacation.

What an incredible day in Bruny island this was. Starting with the host - in our case it was David. Cool and funny all the time he provided us with very detailed explanations along the way. We tried local cheese and homemade island bread as well as the fresh oysters and they were all amazing. Lighthouse part is one hell of a story with remarkable views. 10 out of 10 for these guys and this magical place.

An outstanding all-day tour of Bruny Island from Hobart and back. We were picked up by bus early in the morning and took the ferry over to Bruny Island where we got to see many different sights and stop at certain locations (including Adventure Bay beach, the Neck and Cape Bruny Lighthouse), enjoy a generous amount of good food (lunch provided) and food sampling (oysters, bread, cheese, chocolate). We saw lots of wildlife including different kinds of birds, an echidna, pademelons and wallabies (including 4 white wallabies in total). Our guide, Jimmy, was friendly, humorous and provided invaluable information and insight about everything Bruny-related. The weather was also excellent in late October. All in all a perfect day.

We loved our Bruny island safari tour. Our guide, Jimmy, was knowledgeable, generous, friendly and funny. The itinerary is well planned with a nice mix of activities and touring around (not too much time sitting on the bus). We enjoyed the oysters and cheese tasting by the beach at Two Tree Point, Resolution Creek, fudge tasting was excellent and lunch at Bruny Hotel was great too.

Rick was amazing and he was very thorough with local knowledge of the island. The experience was exceptional. Very well timed presented and the samples and food options were exceptional. The experience was as advertised and would recommend to anyone. Especially the timely manner it was run.

Generous morning tea, lunch at local pub was very good. Guide was very personable his commentary was interesting and he went out of his way to be helpful. I was very pleased he stopped at the bakery on the drive way (old fridge’s which contained warm sourdough bread) . Generous samples of chocolate at the shop. Even saw a white kangaroo.Great day

The pick up was on time but the spot was not comfortable standing outside on the street. A more comfortable location with benches would have been better. The guide, Dave, was good and entertaining. We crossed on the ferry to Briney island, and proceeded to a honey farm where there was a tasting and a variety of products for sale. On the way we saw an albino wallaby. We stopped at a beautiful bay for a selection of cheese on bread and tea. We continued on to a lookout with spectacular views. As we drove around the island the guide regaled us with stories of the past. We stopped at a restaurant for lunch. And along the way a baker had his wanted in 3 old refrigerators. The bread was delicious. Then on to the cheese tasting. One word of caution if you are travelling to other states, many will not allow you to bring in food from here, honey, etc. So check before you buy. It was an entertaining your and a pleasant day.

We had an amazing day with Marina and the other participants on our full day trip. The van was comfortable, the food was delicious and the wind was cold! We did everything on the itinerary. Our favorites were the honey tasting and the scrumptious oysters at tea. The only recommendation I have is we could have used more hot water for tea and hot chocolate during the break. I think everyone would have enjoyed a second cup. Thanks Marina!
