Bruny Island, off the beaten path
Private, curated experiences by sea, land & table, taking you into the heart of Bruny.
At Islander, we're not here to rush you through attractions. We're here to connect you to place, people and story through some of the best cuisine, spaces and places the island has to offer.
With small private groups, access to Bruny’s most exclusive locations, and deep local roots, we create completely unique experiences that uncover the side of Bruny most visitors never see.
Choose one of our signature experiences, co-design something completely your own, or just tell us what's bringing you to the island and we'll shape the day around it. We specialise in private experiences - intimate at 8 guests on the water, with our land fleet on hand for larger groups. We handle the logistics so you can simply show up and settle in. However you spend the day, you'll never feel rushed, crowded, or like a tourist. You'll feel like part of our community.
We can't wait to welcome you to our home.
Our Signature Experiences
Bruny Island Wild Long Lunch
bruny island day trip by boat
Approx 8 hours | 8 pax max | Sea, Land & Table | From $500pp
Your Bruny day trip, without the car and ferry hassle. We'll pick your group up in Hobart or surrounds and board your private vessel at Kettering and take the scenic way across to Bruny Island.
We'll spend a while out on the D'Entrecasteaux Channel, cruising up to Iron Pot, Tassie's oldest lighthouse, with beautiful coastline and the odd bit of wildlife along the way. Then we'll pull in on North Bruny for a long, leisurely four-course lunch at Bruny Island Wild, right on the Dennes Point foreshore.
From there, the afternoon's yours. Swim or laze at Nebraska Beach, wander the Heritage Trail, browse the current exhibition at bruny NORTH, or just sit back and soak it in. We never rush.
Planned down to the detail, yet completely flexible. This day is all about you! We can’t wait to welcome you.
Bruny Island Adventure Cruise
Private boat tours around Bruny
2 hours | 8 pax max | From $200pp
Departing from Kettering or Barnes Bay on Bruny, this one's perfect if you're already on the island, or visiting Southern Tasmania and after a shorter, private taste of the water; a side of Bruny most visitors never get to see. It's a lovely idea for photography sessions, a unique vantage point of the island, or just time out on the water with your favourite people.
We'll wander the waterways around the island, keeping an eye out for dolphins, seals and seabirds along the way. We'll share the story of Tasmania's oldest lighthouse, and the tale of buried treasure said to be hidden along the beaches of North Bruny. (No luck finding it ourselves yet, but you're welcome to try!)
Our boat is open-air and made for getting out in the elements; the wind, the salt, the magic of being out on the sea.
Spring and summer dates are open now!
“We had the most wonderful, happy day with Lezli and Cameron on North Bruny. We felt completely looked after from start to finish, and their love for this island shows in everything they do”
-Catherine Anderson
