Almost 100% of the food we consume over the long weekend has been sourced from Bruny Island itself or within Tasmania. Our food miles are so low that in most instances, you will see where your...read more food is produced on the same day that you eat it. You may have even met the person who made it.

Itinerary
Approximately 5-6 hours walking
This morning you will meet your tour guides and fellow guests (maximum of 10) on the waterfront of Tasmania's capital city, Hobart. Step aboard your private boat and let the adventure begin with a cruise down the Derwent River to Bruny Island. Today our goal is to walk out to a spectacular cape on the east coast of Bruny Island.
On returning from our walk we will wade out into the crystal clear waters of Great Bay to learn how the famous Bruny Island oysters are farmed and shuck them straight out of the water. The perfect way to cool down after a walk!
Next stop; our camp. After a hot shower, join us in the dining house for a drink and to share stories of the day's adventures as the guides busy themselves preparing your dinner sourced from either on the island or in the waters surrounding it.
Our group meets at Daci & Daci Bakery (7 Murray St) at 7:30am before hopping on our boat at Constitution Dock.

Approximately 5-6 hrs walking
Day two might begin with a gentle thumping past your tent. While the inquisitive wallaby isn't your wake up call, his visit, or the promise of warm croissants might lure you from your crisp sheets to reunite with us at the rustic wooden dining table once more.
Today's walk is East Cloudy Head for views of Tasmania's far south and the wild Southern Ocean. The five-hour (14km) journey begins by walking the length of Cloudy Bay Beach. Windswept and beautiful, the walk then leads us into coastal heath and up toward spectacular views of Bruny Island's rugged south coast.
Back at camp enjoy time to sit on the deck, walk among the ferns, partake in another lavish shower or simply read a book while your guides prepare the evening meal.

Jim Camilleri, VIC, Australia, Apr 2023
The trip was filled with beautiful views, and having a great group to chat and laugh with around the dining table in the evening was a highlight. I appreciated the opportunity to walk alone a bit, take in the scenery, and enjoy the quiet. However, I wouldn’t classify the hike as easy, especially for a first-time hiker. It felt more moderate in diff ...read moreiculty.
