Spend 10 hours tasting Bruny Island oysters, cheese, honey and chocolate, with a lighthouse climb, scenic stops, lunch and Hobart transfers.
“This full day experience was well done. Rick, our guide, is also a resident of Bruny Island and very knowledgeable about the area. We were picked up and dropped off near where we were staying. We were blessed with good weather and got to sample award winning local oysters, cheese, chocolate and honey. We also got a wonderful lunch at the Bruny Hotel. The lighthouse and other scenery were lovely. A great day was had by all. I recommend this tour.”

Was so much fun and Sharif was such a lovely tour guide and had a great sense of humour and we all loved his professional happy and informative commentary :) Was very well organised (without being too rigid) and really well run. Thanks again Sharif, Louise Jack from Glasgow :)”
Explore Sydney’s oldest quarter on a 90-minute Rocks walking tour with harbor views, convict history, hidden lanes, and Cadman’s Cottage.

Climb Sydney Harbour Bridge with a small group for sweeping city views, smart local stories, rain gear, a cap, and a printed group photo.
“I heard about this and decided I needed to do it. I was solo but that didn’t stop me. Our guide, Cooper, was great! It’s a very slow climb with several stops on the way with a few drinking fountains (bubblers). It was rainy day but that was just fine vs. doing it in the heat. The views were spectacular! If you are on the fence about doing it, DO IT!”
