Amazing Bruny Island
It was an incredible trip to explore the rugged cliffs and landscape of Bruny Is. Liam was a great guide and a font of knowledge of Bruny Is history and wildlife. Mic our skipper on a boat was a very entertaining skipper and took us on a few adventures around the coastline.

Fun, Exciting, Educational
A fun, exciting and educational day. They go out of the way for their customers. Our guide and bus driver, Zoe did a great job. She was enthusiastic, attentive to our needs, informative, and funny. She stopped to show us special things like white wallabies by the side of the road and told us stories and history of the region. On the boat, Captain Mick had great jokes, knew his stuff and, with Zoe's help did a terrific job navigating us through the turbulent waters, giving us an exciting and beautiful 3-hour tour. Lunch was delicious fish and chips. Many thanks to Zoe, Mick and the rest of the team for a great time!

Best Tour in Tasmania
WOW. The most epic way to experience Tasmania. Your day starts in Hobart, where you board a bus and eventually ferry that takes you to Bruny Island. First, we stopped at this beautiful viewing point that overlooked the stunning beaches and mountains in the background. Then, we had a light breakfast and geared up for the speed boats. The views were AMAZING!!! Cliffs, Rocks, Seals, and vibes were amazing. 100000000% do this.

Fun Day On Bruny Island
An entertaining 2-hour cruise with views of cliffs, caves, blowholes, fur seals, and seabirds. The trip included a nice tea and an excellent lunch. Save a little stomach space in case the bus stops at an oyster restaurant. These were some of the freshest oysters I have ever had. WORD OF WARNING: DON'T BE LATE TO THE TOUR! The tour started with a bus ride to where we caught a ferry to Bruny Island. As we started to pull away from the curb, a woman ran up frantically waving and calling "Bruny Island! Bruny Island!" Jordan, the driver told her yes, this was the bus to Bruny Island; go talk to the office. Then we left her. I don't know if this was practicality or incredible mean-spiritness. As the tour started, did they know the roster was short one person? Would it have been detrimental to wait 5 minutes? However---We picked up a couple in the town of Kettering. They checked in at the restaurant where we had tea and lunch. Could not that woman have checked in there? If so, we would have lost 30 seconds for her to get on the bus. Since I don't know all the circumstances, I'm giving the company the benefit of the doubt. Again, DON'T BE LATE!

Full-Day Bruny Island Cruises Day Tour from Hobart: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hobart.
How much does Full-Day Bruny Island Cruises Day Tour from Hobart cost?
+
Prices start at $207 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 Full-Day Bruny Island Cruises Day Tour from Hobart take?
+
Plan for about 9.5 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 Full-Day Bruny Island Cruises Day Tour from Hobart worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 535 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hobart, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full-Day Bruny Island Cruises Day Tour 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 Full-Day Bruny Island Cruises Day Tour from Hobart suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full-Day Bruny Island Cruises Day Tour from Hobart?
+
Around 187 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 9.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full-Day Bruny Island Cruises Day Tour 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, Day Tour in Mt. Field, Mt. Wellington, Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary and Richmond. 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.
