While exploring Bruny Island, we made a quick stop at the Bruny Island Chocolate Company in Adventure Bay. It’s a small, charming roadside shop that’s perfect for a brief visit. Despite its size, the shop offers a delightful array of handmade chocolates and fudges.
We were in and out in about 10 minutes, picking up our favourites: a rich chocolate fudge and a bag of assorted chocolates. The selection includes treats like rocky road, chocolate-coated honeycomb, ginger, and various fudges such as hazelnut, mint, caramel, and even a unique Hounds Tooth Whisky blend.
Though there are no tastings or on-site demonstrations. It’s an ideal spot for a quick snack or to grab some sweet souvenirs. The shop also features a range of gift tins and locally made items, making it a convenient stop for those looking to take a piece of Bruny Island home.
Located at 55 Adventure Bay Road, the shop is open daily from 10 am to 4 pm.
We visited Bruny Island Honey in Great Bay, and it was such a delightful experience! The shop is beautifully decorated in cheerful yellow tones, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
The shop may appear modest in size, but it’s impressively stocked with a wide variety of honey products. We were welcomed to sample different types of honey, including unique blends like Leatherwood and Manuka honeys. The tasting experience was both educational and enjoyable, allowing us to appreciate the distinct flavours of each variety.
In addition to honey, Bruny Island Honey also carries a range of natural products, including
Creamed Honey
Honeycomb
Honey with Ginger
Honey Mustard
Honey Ice Cream
Honey Mead
Honey & Eucalyptus Drops
Honey Bath Bombs
Beeswax Candles
Skincare Products (e.g., Manuka Body Lotion, Lemon Myrtle Hand Cream, Lip Balm)
One of the highlights was the observation hive, where we could watch bees at work. The display detailing the life cycle of bees was particularly fascinating, especially for the kids, who were captivated by the real-time view of the bees’ activities.
We also indulged in their honey ice cream, which was absolutely delicious, and kids also had honey lollipop. We also tried their creamed honey and other honey-infused products, all of which were delightful.
For families, there’s a lovely outdoor play area where children can have fun while adults explore the shop. It’s a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the surroundings.
If you’re on Bruny Island, I highly recommend stopping by Bruny Island Honey for a sweet and educational experience!
One of the most memorable parts of our Tasmania trip was the ferry ride to Bruny Island with SeaLink. The whole experience felt like the perfect start to a day of exploring. We booked our return car ticket online for around $46, which made things a bit easier—but we still had to wait in the queue for nearly an hour before boarding, as it does get quite busy. A little patience goes a long way here!
As soon as we drove onto the ferry and stepped out of the car, the kids were buzzing with excitement. It felt so different from our usual drives—open air, fresh breeze, and the excitement of heading to an island. The view from the ferry was absolutely stunning—calm blue waters, rolling hills in the distance, and seagulls soaring overhead.
We stood out on the deck, soaking in the peaceful scenery and cool sea air, chatting and taking in the moment. The kids were running from side to side, spotting boats, waving at other passengers, and just enjoying the whole vibe. It was such a wholesome moment for the family.
We were all excited knowing that once we arrived, a full day of island adventures awaited us—beautiful beaches, wildlife, and great food. The ferry ride really set the tone for a fun and relaxed day on Bruny Island.
If you’re visiting Tasmania with family, we highly recommend taking the time to do this ferry trip. It’s not just a way to get to the island—it’s part of the experience!
We had such a great experience dining at Ms Korea in Hobart that we ended up going back again! From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by how clean and welcoming the space was. The staff were friendly, and the service was quick—perfect when you’re dining out with kids.
The Korean fried chicken was absolutely delicious—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and full of flavour. The kids couldn’t get enough of it! I ordered the chicken bowl, which was packed with flavour and really satisfying.
What made us go back? The combination of great food, fast service, and a relaxed, family-friendly vibe. If you’re in Hobart and looking for tasty Korean food, we definitely recommend giving Ms Korea a try!
A visit to Get Shucked on Bruny Island is a must for anyone who loves fresh seafood. Nestled in one of Tasmania’s most scenic spots, this oyster farm and eatery offers some of the freshest seafood you can find, right by the water. On our recent visit, it was the perfect combination of delicious food, beautiful views, and a little island adventure.
When we arrived at Get Shucked, we were greeted by a lively atmosphere. The place was packed, so we had to wait a little for a table. But we weren’t in any rush—the environment was so relaxed and the surrounding views were breathtaking. While we waited, we grabbed some drinks and soaked in the beauty of Bruny Island. The anticipation made the food feel even more exciting.
And once we finally sat down and our food arrived, it was all worth the wait. We opted for baked oysters, a fantastic choice for the start of the day. The oysters were fresh out of the water, and the taste was absolutely incredible. Each bite was smooth, delicate, and perfectly balanced with the rich flavour of melted cheese and seasoning. You could really taste the freshness, as if you were eating directly from the sea. The flavours were so clean and natural, and I could almost taste the salty sea breeze in each bite.
Alongside the oysters, we had a generous serving of crispy chips. These were golden, crunchy on the outside, and soft and fluffy on the inside—absolutely perfect. They paired so well with the oysters, giving a crispy contrast to the tender, briny seafood. It’s the kind of meal that leaves you satisfied and happy, knowing you’ve just enjoyed something truly delicious.
This meal was the ideal way to kickstart our day. Bruny Island is known for its beautiful landscapes and fresh produce, and there’s something incredibly special about enjoying the food right where it’s harvested. The crisp, fresh air and the ocean views made it even more memorable. We took some time to enjoy the surroundings—the clear skies, the peaceful water, and the natural beauty all around us. It’s a place that makes you slow down and appreciate the simple things in life.
