Bruny Island is a spectacular island known for its stunning vistas and contrasting landscapes; from hay bales and cattle fields to windswept beaches and craggy cliffs.
It’s where you can view arctic wildlife, such as seals and little penguins, nesting on its coastline, and explore deep sea caves, wind-swept hiking trails, and savour the taste of the freshest produce in Tassie.
This once hidden gem is no longer a secret. It’s one of the most exciting destinations just outside of Hobart, visited by 150,000 people a year (a big leap from 26,000 in 2016).
This is because there are so many things to do on Bruny Island, it makes for the perfect getaway. I spent four days there, but trust me, you should linger for a week.
In this guide, I share what to do on Bruny Island and some of the most unmissable attractions and places.
Things to Do on Bruny Island, Tasmania
1. Go to the beach
I know this is almost the southernmost point of Australia, but trust me, you can still soak in the sunshine and listen to the roar of the ocean in Tassie.

If you’re lucky you might see an Albatross or a spectacular rainbow!
Some of the most popular beaches on the island are Jetty Beach, Adventure Bay Beach, Neck Beach, and the Cloudy Beaches in Cloudy Bay.
2. Go on a Pennicott Wilderness Journeys Sea Safari
I did a Pennicot Journey Wilderness Safari on my 40th birthday and it was the best experience of my Bruny Island trip.
Even if you get motion sickness you will enjoy this; they hand out ginger tablets on board and I slapped peppermint and ginger essential oil on my feet. Nothing else has compared.
During your trip you may see many threatened species such as the New Zealand Fur Seal, Southern Elephant Seal, Leatherback Turtle, Spotted Handfish, Live-Bearing Seastar, Great White Shark and migratory whales such as the Southern Right Whale and the Humpback Whale, depending on the season.
This is no leisurely cruise though, it’s a sea safari so expect to go at high speeds and feel the thrill of the ride!
