    Day-by-Day Itinerary

    Day 1

    Hobart - Great Bay (boat trip and approx 14 km or 5 to 6 hours walking)

    Note: Guests meet in Hobart at 7.30am for a pre-trip briefing; the cruise to Bruny Island departs at 8am.

    After stepping aboard your private boat in Hobart, the adventure begins with a cruise down the Derwent River to Bruny Island. After disembarking, the group walks out to a spectacular cape on the east coast of Bruny Island. On returning from the day's walk, wade out into the crystal clear waters of Great Bay to learn how the famous Bruny Island oysters are farmed, shucking them straight out of the water. What better way to cool down after a walk. Next stop is camp. After a hot shower, join fellow guests in the dining house for a drink and to share stories of the day’s adventures as the guides busy themselves preparing dinner sourced from the island.
