Activities on Bruny Island Tasmania

Above is the 'world class' Bruny Island Charters

St Clairs has its own jetty.  Guests wishing to fish, arriving by water or bringing their own dinghy may use this jetty at their own risk.  There is a public boat launching ramp only a few hundred metres away and there are many deserted beaches, suitable for swimming and picnics, which can only be accessed by water.

Fishing is generally good with a wide variety of fish available according to season and the angler's skill.  We often catch Atlantic Salmon - 'escapees' from the fish farms in the Huon!

In addition to boating and fishing, the scenery is breathtaking and many scenic spots can be reached by car. Bushwalkers are well catered for and there are many tracks suitable for both the experienced and the novice.  Visit the penguin rookery at the Neck and see  the wide variety of wildlife. (Did you know that Bruny is home to the rare 40 spotted pardelote - we often see them at St Clairs!

We are happy to arrange nature tours with a local zoologist or a half day trip with Bruny Island Charters who explore Bruny's remote south coast by fast cruise boats. Visit the seal colony and view the spectacular scenery and wildlife from the water!  Be as busy or as relaxed as you wish!

There are a large number of walks in various parts of the island.   Some of the walks go down to remote and spectacular beaches, like the one shown on the left, to Cloudy Bay Lagoon.
In many parts of the island there are small, intimate cafes: the Hot House Cafe and Penguin Cafe at Adventure Bay and the Lunawanna Link.  Also, you can take tea and coffee whilst sampling the exquisite fudges and Chocolates at the Chocolate Factory.
Visit the sites that were made famous by the early explorers See the history page.
The main activity of the island really, is that of relaxation within some of Australia's most scenic countryside.
