Book Direct with the Owner at Bruny Island 3-Day Guided Walk With Wine And Cheese Tasting with Hervey Bay Accommodation in Hobart, for all your Attraction and travel needs.
The ultimate Tasmanian short break: This three-day guided walk starts in Hobart and explores Bruny Island. Eight guests are treated to coastal walks, produce direct from the source, private lodge accommodation and exquisite meals.
As this tour operates during Tasmania’s cooler months we may be a little bit flexible with our itinerary but below is a sample of what to expect:
Day 1
• Hotel pick up from Hobart
• Make our way down “the channel†to Kettering and board the ferry bound for Bruny Island
• Enjoy a walk on North Bruny Island (12km, 5hrs)
Filling the larder
• Gather oysters from a private oysters lease
• Tasting and cheese collection at Bruny Island Cheese Company
• Arrive at our private waterfront property
• Sit back and enjoy a glass of wine as your guide prepares dinner sourced from either on the island or in the waters surrounding it
Day 2
• Guided walk on South Bruny Island for views of the rugged coast and the Southern Ocean (12km, 5 hrs)
• Drop by our Ross O’Meara’s farm and collect some ingredients for the evening’s meal
• Wine tasting at Australia’s most southerly vineyard
• Gather round the fire with a glass of pinot as your guides presents another showcase of local produce.
• As darkness descends on the lodge, watch as Tasmania’s unique nocturnal wildlife emerges from possibly the best place in Tasmania to see the southern lights (Aurora Australia)
Day 3
• Have some time to yourself and try to spot some of Bruny Island’s 150 species of birds (including all 12 Tasmanian endemics)
• If the weather permits we will climb through ancient Gondwanan rainforest to the summit of Bruny Island’s highest point for spectacular panoramic views (5km, 2-3 hours). Alternatively we will climb the more sheltered Fluted Cape in Adventure Bay.
• Journey back across the D’Entrecasteaux Channel on the ferry
• Hotel drop off in Hobart
