Excellent experience. Andy is an excellent guide. My friend and I had an amazing experience on bruny island. 100% recommended.
It was a fantastic day out in Brunny Island on 9th August. Our guide Phillipe was excellent. He is very down to earth and professional. It is a very high quality tour, including Brunny Island cheese and oysters morning tea, lunch at a local pub, local chocolate and honey tasting. We also had an exclusive tour inside the lighthouse. The tour group is small which we had more time to explore and interact with our guide. What a day out!
Great tour. Jimmy was fabulous. Very informative and fun. Thanks for a great day out guys.
Best day with your guide Jimmy Very informative and interesting food was delicious and nutritious Interesting facts about Bruny island
A long day, but very worthwhile. Lots to see, do, and eat.
I love David!! He’s thoughtful, funny and kind. He keeps an eye on the weather and the amount of other tourist teams in each spots, just to make sure our experience is the best. And he respects the guest’s request to stay a little bit longer or shorter in each spots.
What a fabulous full day on Bruny Island. The weather was great, tour guide Rick terrific and sights and tastings spot on. Really appreciated Rick accommodating is at pick up as we arrived on the wrong date.
What an incredible experience! Wayne was a great tour guide and full of information about the lighthouse and kept my 3 children and us adults engaged. Would highly recommend. Was great to learn the history of the lighthouse and absolutely beautiful views at the top.
Jimmy was an awesome guide. Had a fabulous day on the island. It was far easier booking a tour rather than drive myself. The added bonus is Bruny Island Safaris is all inclusive. Nothing more to pay. Paul n Deb.
It was wonderful to capture some great footage at the Lighthouse. Matt, the tour guide was an absolute legend! I would highly recommend a visit, from any adventurous souls! The view from the top of the Lighthouse is incredible!
Thank you so much for joining us! The view from the balcony is our favourite on Bruny Island. We are glad to hear you enjoyed your tour with Matt. Warm regards, Jess Bruny Island Safaris
