Mobile ticket
What sets our tour apart is the perfect balance of local authenticity and curated discovery. Rather than just hitting the main landmarks, we take you deeper into the heart of Tasmania by blending iconic sights—like the panoramic views of The Neck—with hidden local treasures like Meredith's Orchard and the vintage charm of the Margate Train.
Our itinerary is designed for the discerning traveller who values both the island's world-class gastronomy and its rare natural wonders. From the briny freshness of "Get Shucked" oysters to the magical quest for the rare white wallaby and the serene black swans of Big Lagoon, we offer a multi-sensory journey. With a focus on relaxed pacing and genuine local insight, we ensure you don’t just see Bruny Island, but truly taste, breathe, and experience its wild, untamed spirit.

What To Expect
Margate Train
Step back in time at The Margate Train, a unique 1950s heritage locomotive repurposed into a vibrant boutique hub. You can explore quirky carriages housing vintage collectibles, local crafts, and specialty shops. It’s the perfect spot for a flexible lunch break, where you have the freedom to enjoy fresh Tasmanian coffee or gourmet pancakes from local vendors at your own pace.
Stop by Merediths Orchard, a beloved local hidden gem, to experience Tasmania's fresh seasonal bounty. You can sample premium stone fruits, berries, and crisp apples straight from the farm, or browse their collection of artisanal jams, local honey, and gourmet pantry staples. It’s a perfect opportunity to taste the authentic flavours of the region and pick up some fresh snacks for the journey ahead.

5.00I am so glad we booked this tour for our getaway. Bruny Island's natural scenery is stunning, but what truly made the trip was the flawless service provided by the agency. The pickup from the city was perfectly on time, and the vehicle was brand new, spacious, and very comfortable. Our guide was incredibly attentive, ensuring we never felt rushed at any stop. It was a pure sightseeing experience with absolutely no tourist traps or forced shopping. From navigating the ferry to planning the perfect route, she handled everything seamlessly. If you want to skip the stress of planning and just enjoy the island, book this now!

5.00The tour was good. We got picked from our airbnb in Sandy Bay and the driver Holly was very polite. She was very thorough in explaining everything and friendly. We had fun at Oyster shack, The neck, the kebab shop was closed at the Margate train. Not many shops there. Also the orchard shop at the end, there was not much to see but the tour was good as a whole. We enjoyed.
