At 7:45 am, we'll meet at Hobart Harbour and travel to the south of the island by bus. After a 30-minute drive, we'll arrive at Kettering Wharf where we'll take a 10-minute ferry ride to Bruny Island.

When we get there, we'll set off on a bus tour of Bruny Island to discover its main scenic and gastronomic treasures. Our first stop will be at a local restaurant where we'll taste some cheese and beer. Afterwards, we'll continue our tour of the island and admire views from The Neck Lookout.

Our day trip will then take us into the Mavista Rainforest, where we'll take a walk to try and spot its white kangaroos. Next, we'll head to a restaurant overlooking Adventure Bay for a lunch that includes a serving of oysters and two glasses of wine, beer, cider or juice.

After lunch, we'll visit the Bligh Museum to learn about the history of Bruny. We'll then go to the Two Tree Point observation deck.

The next stop will be at the HIBA Gardens, followed by the Bruny Island Chocolate Company for cocoa-based treats. We'll also stop at two local landmarks to sample and purchase local honey and oysters.

We'll finish our tour at the pier in the north of the island and take the ferry back to Kettering. From Kettering, we'll take the bus to Hobart and drop you off at 6 pm.
