Hobart Bruny Island Cruises

The island off an island, off another island – Bruny is where dramatic landscapes are perfectly matched by exceptional-quality local produce. Bruny Island is easily accessible as a quick day trip from Hobart, making it a popular destination for tourists and locals looking for a change of scenery. A land that is unexplored for many locals, the ideal way to see its natural beauty and the native flora and fauna is to hop on one of the Bruny Island cruises.
 
A true ‘Aussie’ way of experiencing the magic of Bruny – these popular cruises let you take in the surreal landscapes of the region from an on-water vantage point. You can choose from a short wilderness cruise or the ultimate full-day tour departing either from Hobart or Kettering, which adds ferry and bus rides into the mix. 
 
The wild rugged coastline of Bruny Island has given birth to spectacular inlets and bays for you to discover, along with the best cliff-top views. The surreal ‘Breathing Rock’ is an elusive cave that blows air out of it when interacted with sea waves. This creates a spectacular fountain effect with a hissing sound and you can watch it all from the comfort of your boat! And aside from this natural wonder, you’ll pass through deep sea caves, through the narrow gap between the coast and The Monument, and beneath towering crags.
 
During a Bruny Island boat tour, keep an eye out for local wildlife such as dolphins, migrating whales, and if you’re really lucky, even penguins! You will also quietly cruise past seal colonies, and various nesting areas of seabirds. The full-day Bruny Island boat tour departing from Hobart also offers a Tassie-inspired lunch and morning tea, creating a signature experience amidst serene nature.
