We climbed this twice during our stay. First when we arrived in the early morning and second time that night to see the southern lights. We did see the lights but it wasn’t a dazzling show. More a pulsating black and white show in the south. Great place to see the stars and excellent view of Milky Way. Penguins make their burrows here and if you come at night with a red light ( or red cellophane over your torch) you cdd as n see the penguins coming home. A must do.

4. Cape Bruny Lighthouse
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 231 reviews
The Cape Bruny Lighthouse is the most iconic & dominant landmark on Bruny Island. Nestled on the sea-cliff tops in the South Bruny National Park, at the southern tip of Bruny Island. Built from 1836 she sits proud, overlooking the craggy coastlines of Southern Tasmania. This is the southernmost lighthouse tour in Australia. The tours to the top operate daily. For just $15 you will hear stories of shipwrecks, convicts and how the lighthouse keepers performed their daily duties. Learn how the lighthouse was built and experience the wild ocean and sea cliff views from above. This lighthouse is independently leased from Parks and Wildlife and operated by Craig Parsey who's family lived at Cape Bruny during the 1970's as Lighthouse Keepers. $15 is a small price to pay for such a wonderful experience, the icing on the cake! One of the must do attractions on Bruny Island.

5. Get Shucked Oyster Bar

Reviewed By dbfun41 - Elizabeth Town, Australia
This was a 30 minute highlight of our Bruny Island holiday. My partner is an oyster fiend and she was thoroughly delighted with the oysters we had. She said that they were the best we have had in a year. At 23$ a dozen with 3 accompanying sauces they are excellent value for super delicious and fresh oysters. (20$ a dozen take away) . The oyster bar is about 10 mins from the ferry terminal and is one of the first of the go to places on the island. Only a small area to dine in on wooden outside tables. In brief excellent oysters at a very good price point.
6. Bruny Island Quarantine Station
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 37 reviews
The Heritage Interpretive Walk enhances any visit to this beautiful peninsula with the varied history of the site well explained and directional signs in place. The full walk will take you from the Nuenonne people's sign to the site of the first European settlers cottage and the Shelter Cove stone jetty site. From there the walk takes you past the site of quarantine buildings where saloon and steerage passengers were lodged to the hospital area where some buildings still stand. Further on past the campsites where soldiers were quarantined on their return from WWI the trail takes you to the site of the Quarantine Bay jetty then up through the bush to the 1919 graves of influenza victims and the remains of an old chimney thought to have been constructed by German prisoners of war who, while detained at the Quarantine Station, cut firewood for Hobart. The walk continues past some fenced areas that were used for growing crops during the plant quarantine period, past the plant quarantine glass houses and back to the car park in the barley paddock. The whole walk takes about 2 hours unless of course you are delayed by photographing the wild flowers, including orchids, or bird watching or just enjoying the environment. A one hour option excludes the graves and chimney or you can just enjoy a short stroll and make use of our picnic tables. Open 5 days a week Thursday - Monday (Closed Tue/Wed)from 10 am to 4 pm Closed Christmas Day

We stopped in here on impulse and found a fascinating historical journey with a well preserved establishment. We could have spent half the day there learning about the history and doing the walks. The guide Rob was very welcoming and informative.

The owners have done a great job here of showcasing their honey. You get to try all the flavours, about 6-8. They also have a great range of honey and bee related products. Loved it!
