8 to 9 hours (approximately)
Pickup offered
Offered in: English

Discover a more authentic and flexible side of Tasmania with our curated small-group experience. Unlike standard tours, we blend the iconic beauty of Bruny Island with hidden gems on the mainland, like the quirky Margate Train and the fresh harvests of Merediths Orchard.

We prioritise your freedom: you’ll enjoy leisurely stops for premium honey and oyster tastings, and a flexible lunch break at the vintage locomotive hub, allowing you to explore local boutiques at your own pace. With a friendly local guide and a relaxed itinerary, we offer a "local-style" day out that feels more like a road trip with friends than a rigid tourist schedule.
