Sail to Barnes Bay on Bruny Island as the sea, sky and landscape transform with the shifting angle of the sun. See shadows lengthen across rock faces on the shoreline as they are gradually silhouetted against a golden sky. See clouds stretch across the infinite sky, aflame and glowing with every conceivable colour and watch as the sea mirrors the changing sky. Enjoy local wines or premium beers and a cheese platter as we moor in a sheltered bay. The light during Tasmania’s long summer twilight hours provides the perfect opportunity to take some truly memorable photographs. Take the helm and participate in the excitement of sailing the vessel, or simply relax in comfort and enjoy the sumptuous scenery.

Rick was our very competent driver and guide for the whole 10 hour day trip from Hobart to Bruny Island. Rick is a local actually living on Bruny so he has all the insider knowledge which was a great asset! The tour was a great combination of local food specialties, great scenery, natural attractions and exercise for the participants - some walking and some climbing (about 360 steps at the Neck Lookout and another 72 steps inside the Lighthouse not to forget to mention the climb up to the lighthouse). Thankyou Rick for an excellent day!

I recently completed this tour and I could not rate it highly enough. I was unable to hire a car and I signed on for this tour as it ticked many of the boxes in relation to the places I wanted to see. Our tour guides, Tim and Ian were excellent, and I found out so much about the places we visited that I could never have found out travelling my myself- history, geology, zoology - our guides were an amazing source of information. The highlights were the National Parks - Gordon- Franklin, Lake St Clair, Cradle Mountain, Freycinet etc. Tasmania has a unique landscape, and we were given an opportunity to explore it. We had a lovely group of 18 people of mixed ages and nationalities, and that was another highlight for me. I enjoyed the backpacker experience, but if you are looking for five star accommodation this tour is not for you. We bought our own food, but were given the opportunity to buy fresh local oysters, amazing ice creams and Tasmanian baked goods. Even when it rained, our days were full of interest. Thank you particularly to our guides Tim and Ian who made sure that everything ran smoothly. They were always patient, informative and pleasant.
