The tour guide (and also the driver) was Pascal. He was very passionate and knowledgeable in Tasmania (Bruny Island) history. Well organized and clearly explained the itinerary for each spot. Highly recommended for travellers who don’t drive or not familiar with the geographical area but would like to visit there at once. The sourdough bread by the Brunybaker was absolutely tasty.

joined 3 day tours and this is absolutely the best for its value. the itinerary is well thought and planned that you get to do some sightseeing and food tastings on Bruny. Dave, our guide even prepared morning tea with oysters and cheese in the national park, he also showed us where the white wallabies are. what’s more, lunch at Bruny Hotel is also included, and the seafood is fresher than Hobart! A must do tour for Bruny!

We had an amazing time and fun in this tour - exploring scenic and interesting places. The tour from Bruny Safaris with guide Jimmy was engaging, knowledgeable, helpful and managing our time well. The all inclusive package makes our trip smooth and worth every cent. We had fresh oysters, cheeses, chocolate tastings and lunch included. Good value for money!
