Be prepared for a delicious day out where you will enjoy award winning cheeses, premium wines and beer, freshly shucked oysters, handcrafted fudge, local honey and a delicious lunch at Pennicott’s beachside restaurant with sweeping views of Adventure Bay.

Meet and hear the stories of island producers including an exclusive cheese and beer experience at Bruny Island Cheese Company, sweet taste sensations from Bruny Island Chocolate Company and Bruny Island Honey, and Get Shucked’s famous Bruny oysters served alongside lunch.

Lunch is accompanied by two glasses of quality Tasmanian wine, beer, cider or juices. We recommend the premium Tasmanian fish, chips and salad to keep you fuelled as you continue exploring.

Delight in a relaxing tour of HIBA’s 50 acres of private English and native gardens overlooking Adventure Bay before being treated to fudge in the tranquil surrounds. Be inspired by island anecdotes of flora, fauna and history as told by our guides and storytellers, see local aboriginal artefacts, and wonder at the Bligh Museum with tall tales of Adventure Bay explorers.

Your adventure highlights the unique natural environment of Bruny Island. Take in the glorious views from the iconic Neck Lookout, climbing the 240 wooden steps to see the narrow isthmus between north and south Bruny Island.
