There are many scenic islands located off the coast of Tasmania, and Bruny Island is shaping into one of the most popular. Safely tucked away off the southeastern coast of Tasmania, this small island has a big heart, and here are three reasons why you should put it on your bucket list.
Easy Access
One of the reasons why Bruny Island became such a huge hit with tourists is its close proximity to the Tassie capital of Hobart. There are countless local companies offering boat tours to the island, in addition to a ferry from Kettering, so it’s a pretty popular day trip destination with locals and tourists alike.
Scenic Nature
Breathtaking nature is the main reason why people can’t get enough of Bruny Island. It’s home to South Bruny National Park, which is best known for its unique local wildlife. The Neck lookout is not to be missed because it offers some of the best views on the whole island, while connecting its north and west side.
Foodie’s Paradise
After tourism started flourishing on Bruny Island, many local businesses opened their doors to the public, including the iconic Bruny Island Cheese Company. An oyster farm, vineyard, and countless restaurants and coffee shops can also be found on the island, making it a foodie’s paradise.
