I wanted to visit Bruny Island off the southeast coast of Tasmania as soon as I heard it was the ultimate wilderness experience to have in Tasmania.

Not only is there abundant coastal wildlife, but the boat is a thrilling adventure that passes under crags, through narrow gaps, and into the wild of the Southern Ocean in search of seals, penguins and whales.

We decided to sail with local legend Rob Pennicott from Pennicott Wilderness Journeys on our Bruny Island Cruise.

Caz said Rob reminded her of Steve Irwin; passionate about nature, enthusiastic, and quick with a joke.

We had an incredible experience exploring Bruny Island via a Bruny Island cruise and so we have prepared this guide on how you can do the same.

We’ll be sharing with you how you can find Bruny Island cruises and what to expect from one…

About Pennicott Wilderness Journeys

Rob started Pennicott Wilderness Journeys as a small family business in 1999, running cruises along the Tasman coastline, and now boasts a staff of over 70 people.

Rob Pennicott has won numerous awards because of its world-class service and sustainable coastal wilderness experiences.

We had also previously experienced a tour with Pennicott Wilderness Journeys on a Tasman Island Cruiseand knew Rob to be a great guide.

So we made plans to jump on a three-hour eco-adventure cruise with Rob’s company.

We did the 3 hour wilderness cruise but there is also a full day tour.

If you take a full day tour, a morning tea and lunch of fish and chips are included in the ticket price (vegetarian and gluten free options available too).

Tours operate every day except Christmas Day.

Where is Bruny Island?

Bruny Island is an easy day trip from Hobart. You can jump on a tour or self-drive to Bruny Island like we did and catch the vehicle ferry crossing over from Kettering.

Access to Bruny Island is by vehicle ferry which departs from Kettering, 40 minutes’ drive south of Hobart.
