Private Bruny Island experiences
Do bruny, the islander way
At Islander, our mission is to give you an authentic Bruny Island experience from the eyes of the people that live here.
Choose one of our signature experiences, design something completely your own, or let us know what brings you to the island and we'll help shape the experience around it.
We specialise in private, small-group experiences, booked for your group alone. Our vessel and signature experiences stay intimate at 8 passengers maximum, though we can accommodate larger groups with our land transport fleet. We handle the logistics so you can simply show up and enjoy the island.
No matter the experience, you'll never feel rushed, crowded, or like you're a tourist. You'll feel like part of our community.
We can't wait to welcome you to our home.

The best adventures often start with a conversation. Tell us what matters to your group, whether it's a celebration, introducing friends to Bruny's hidden side, or simply exploring without a fixed itinerary, and we'll design something that fits. With our fleet of transport supporting groups of up to 39, alongside our intimate boat experiences, we can shape something for a couple or an entire event: secluded beaches one moment, introductions to island artisans the next. These experiences feel personal because they are.

Island access shouldn't require complicated logistics. We handle it: direct water transport to North Bruny, coordinated guest transfers, group movement across the island. Our commercial vessel and bus fleet work together so your group moves seamlessly from point to point. I
