Bruny Island – A Perfect Tasmanian Day Trip of Nature, Flavor & Coastal Views

#cityplaybook #familytrip #localguides #attractive Post Copy: Just a short ferry ride from Tasmania’s mainland lies Bruny Island—a wild, beautiful, and flavor-filled escape that makes for an unforgettable day trip from Hobart. I started early, catching the morning ferry from Kettering to reach The Neck, where a climb to Truganini Lookout revealed sweeping views of the island’s narrow isthmus and turquoise waters. It’s the kind of scenery that makes you pause—and take a dozen photos. Next stop: cheese and oysters. At Bruny Island Cheese & Beer Co., I sampled local cheeses and sipped craft beer in a cozy garden setting. Just down the road, Get Shucked served up oysters so fresh they were practically still in the sea. Fueled by food, I hiked the Cape Queen Elizabeth Track, a relatively easy walk with a reward: a stunning natural rock arch right on the beach. The wild coastline and salty air were everything I needed. Later in the day, I visited the historic Cape Bruny Lighthouse, where the wind was strong and the views even stronger. The sense of isolation and history was powerful—like standing on the edge of the world. To finish, a glass of Pinot at Bruny Island Premium Wines was the perfect toast to a day well spent. Top Tips: Start early to make the most of your visit. Don’t skip the local produce—Bruny is a food lover’s dream. Bring comfy shoes and a camera—you’ll need both.
