Bruny Island & The Margate Train: Food, Wildlife & Coastal View

Our itinerary is designed for the discerning traveller who values both the island's world-class gastronomy and its rare natural wonders. From the briny freshness of "Get Shucked" oysters to the magical quest for the rare white wallaby and the serene black swans of Big Lagoon, we offer a multi-sensory journey.
