Very educational and cool experience! Learnt so much about the history and operations of the historical lighthouse. Highly recommend to anyone who’s visiting Bruny Island! The gravel road drive and windy walk up the lighthouse was definitely worth it.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, Chloe! We are so glad to hear guests leave with wonderful memories of our beautiful Bruny Island. Warm regards, Jess Bruny Island Safaris
An excellent and informative tour with our very knowledgeable guide. He was able to answer all my husband’s engineering type questions! Beautiful views over South Bruny Island and surrounding seas. It also helped that it was an absolutely stunning day! Thoroughly recommend the tour.
A very informative lighthouse tour, of the building itself and about the lives of the Keepers and their families. It was a beautiful weather day, so enjoyed our outside balcony experience. There was a small group, so we felt like we had a personalized tour.
If you like a little history and an amazing view then well worth booking. Guide was a local with a real knack for delivering history that even my 8 year old was interested in.
Thank you for your kind review. We are glad to hear your child was interested in the history of Bruny Island, it sure is a fascinating and beautiful destination! Warm regards, Jess Bruny Island Safaris
We had a wonderful experience on our tour. We learnt of many very interesting facts & information about how this lighthouse operated & about other lighthouses in Australia. It was fascinating to learn of the life of the lighthouse keepers & their families in this rugged isolated location. Our guide was very personable and obviously very fit.
Hello, Thank you for your fantastic and "Enlightening review". Warm Regards, Bruny Island Safaris See you on Safari folks!

Hello Wayne, Thank you for your fantastic review. We are lucky to have such a wonderful small team of Bruny Island locals to work at the Cape Bruny Lighthouse. Warm Regards, Bruny Island Safaris See you on Safari folks!
Interested in seeing the lighthouse cos I read the book a few years back. Seeing all the crystals which reflect the light was amazing, plus the view from the balcony spectacular. It was also interesting to see where the lighthouse keepers lived whilst on the island plus the weather conditions and remoteness they endured. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly as well. Highly recommend this tour.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We're very glad to hear you enjoyed your tour of the lighthouse. The area is steeped in fascinating history! Hope to see you again in future.
Alex and I had a great experience on the Bruny Lighthouse tour. We were the only two participants and our guide was, friendly, knowledgable and great company. The views from the top were spectacular and the history was interesting and in many ways astounding. Loved it.
Lighthouse is positioned in a beautiful roughed coastline with great views. The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and was great to see the second oldest lighthouse in Australia. Unfortunately l think the price is too much compared to other lighthouse tours we have been on and we had a discount through bookme.
