Fun on Bruny!
Dave was an excellent guide whom made the trip funny and informative. We got to see most of the island and all the cool little stores! My wife and I had an amazing time and we recommend this trip to everyone! Great food Dave and the team. We enjoyed everything but the three standouts were the cheese tasting, lunch and The Neck lockout. But we very munched enjoyed Dave’s commentary and the garden tour with chocolate tasting. Thank you!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted you both had such a great day exploring Bruny Island. Dave will love hearing how much you enjoyed their commentary and humour. It sounds like the cheese tasting, lunch, The Neck and garden visit were real highlights too. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back again! Cheers Melinda

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Bruny Island Traveller - Gourmet Tasting and Sightseeing Day Trip from Hobart: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hobart.
How much does Bruny Island Traveller - Gourmet Tasting and Sightseeing Day Trip from Hobart cost?
+
Prices start at $213 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hobart usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Bruny Island Traveller - Gourmet Tasting and Sightseeing Day Trip from Hobart take?
+
Plan for about 9.8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hobart is not rushed.
Is Bruny Island Traveller - Gourmet Tasting and Sightseeing Day Trip from Hobart worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 830 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Hobart, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bruny Island Traveller - Gourmet Tasting and Sightseeing Day Trip from Hobart?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Bruny Island Traveller - Gourmet Tasting and Sightseeing Day Trip from Hobart suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bruny Island Traveller - Gourmet Tasting and Sightseeing Day Trip from Hobart?
+
Around 291 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hobart can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hobart and add a light layer if any part of the 9.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bruny Island Traveller - Gourmet Tasting and Sightseeing Day Trip from Hobart start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hobart within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hobart?
+
On Outty we rank every Hobart experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include kunanyi/Mt Wellington Explorer Bus- Return Tour (2.5 hours), Full-Day Guided Bruny Island Tour from Hobart, Maria Island Cruise and Guided Walk Day Tour with Lunch and Drinks. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hobart?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hobart?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
