How to get to Bruny Island
Bruny Island is around 30 minutes drive south of Hobart, Tasmania. Head down the Channel Highway to Kettering, then turn left into Ferry Road. SeaLink Bruny Island Ferries depart every 20 minutes (except from 12.30pm to 1.20pm) so there’s no real need to time your departure around the ferry.
No booking is required, but don’t be surprised if there is a queue for the ferry during busy periods.
Mavista Walking Track
Tucked away in the heart of South Bruny Island, the Mavista Picnic Area and Walking Track offers a peaceful escape into lush, cool-temperate rainforest.
This short, easy walk takes you along a shaded gully, surrounded by towering stringybarks, blackwoods, and an impressive array of tree ferns. With moss-covered logs and the gentle sounds of the creek nearby, it’s an ideal spot to slow down and soak in nature.
