An Australian Luxury Escapes vehicle will pick you up from your hotel to commence the Bruny Island tour. Departing your hotel this morning travelling south-west, we pass by countryside and the Huon River before arriving at the tiny village of Kettering. Drive onto the Bruny Island ferry for the 20 minute ride across the D'Entrecasteaux Channel. On arrival on Bruny Island, we stop at Bruny Island Cheese. Set amongst the eucalypts here you will experience a 30 minute tasting experience hosting by skilled artisans, consisting of 4 cheeses, freshly baked sourdough and beer made on site. Next, we climb nearly 300 steps up the dunes to the top of “The Neck and Truganini Lookout” 360-degree views of the whole of the Island, as well as mainland Tasmania. Rejoining the vehicle, we now head towards Get Shucked, for some Bruny Island oysters. Grown in the clean waters just meters from the shoreline, you can taste some local oysters with a local beer or wine. Lunch today is at Bruny Island Premium Wines, Australia's most southern vineyard. This family run business is situated on a 120 acre estate located in the township of Lunawanna. After lunch, we depart to the eastern side of the island, stunning scenery along the way before arriving at Bruny Island Berry Farm. Choose from a variety of incredibly fresh, locally grown berries, enjoy a berry-based ice cream or purchase from the gift shop (at own expense). From here we embark on the ferry for the trip back to the mainland. Travelling back through the Huon Valley we head towards the magnificent Mt Wellington; at almost 1300 meters above sea level and dwarfing over the city of Hobart, it offers incredible views out to sea and over the city. Afterwards rejoin your vehicle for the drive back your hotel. Tour concludes at approximately 4:30pm.~~~~ |
