During our trip to Tasmania, one of the absolute highlights was our visit to Bruny Island. As a family of four, with two excited kids in tow, we knew it was going to be a special day – but it turned out to be even better than we imagined!
The adventure began with the ferry ride to Bruny Island, and let me tell you, it was such a unique experience. Driving our car onto the ferry felt like a mini adventure on its own. The kids were thrilled to see the ocean around us as the ferry glided across the water. The fresh breeze and the excitement of what lay ahead made for the perfect start to our day.
Our first stop was Get Shucked, where we tried some of the freshest oysters ever. While the kids weren’t as enthusiastic about oysters (they gave it a brave try, though!), they loved watching us enjoy them. The relaxed vibe and delicious food set the tone for a day of indulgence and exploration.
Next, we headed to The Honey Pot to check out the famous Bruny Island honey. The kids loved sampling the honey varieties and learning about bees. It was such a sweet experience – literally! The honey ice cream we tried there was a massive hit, and it became one of those little treats we’ll remember forever.
Of course, no trip to Bruny Island would be complete without a stop at the Bruny Island Chocolate Company. The kids were in heaven here, picking out chocolates and trying the samples. The variety was incredible, and it was hard not to leave with bags full of goodies.
One of our favourite parts of the day was spending time at The Neck Lookout and Beach. The view from the lookout was breathtaking, with the stunning turquoise water stretching out before us. We felt so lucky to have a sunny day – the kind that makes everything sparkle a little brighter. We spent hours at the beach, dipping our toes in the water, and simply soaking up the sunshine. The kids didn’t want to leave, and honestly, neither did we!
On our way back, we stopped at famous bread fridge by the roadside to grab some freshly baked cookies. It was the perfect way to end our adventure – simple, warm, and oh-so-delicious.
Bruny Island was an incredible experience for all of us. It’s rare to find a place that balances natural beauty, fun activities, and delicious food so perfectly. We laughed, explored, indulged, and made memories that we’ll cherish forever.
If you’re planning a trip to Tasmania, Bruny Island is a must-visit. It’s one of those places that has something for everyone – whether you’re a foodie, an explorer, or simply looking to spend quality time with family. For us, it was the kind of day that reminded us why we love traveling together.
