I’d do it again

Absolutely fabulous day trip. Our guide and driver was informative and funny. He made the day enjoyable and included all the group in activities. My favourite part was morning tea. The oysters were to die for. The only thing I would say is that I would have had more time as the wine and cheese tasting.

Hello Renee, Thank you for your wonderful review. Some days we get more or less time at the venues depending on what everyone wants. We try not to be a shopping tour and think we have found the happy balance. Thank you again. Craig Parsey Director Bruny Island Safaris
