Destinations

Skip the ferry and soar straight to Bruny Island’s rugged coast. From above, the island unfolds — sheer cliffs, sweeping beaches, and pockets of native bush where wildlife thrives. Keep an eye on the waters below to spot areas where researchers are working to restore Tasmania’s iconic giant kelp forests. Land on the waterfront or at one of the island’s secluded airstrips, ready to step straight into your Bruny Island adventure.

Step aboard and glide east from Hobart over the sparkling waters of the Derwent and the wild edges of Tasmania’s east coast. In just half an hour, you’ll touch down at the Freycinet Peninsula — at the doorstep of Saffire Freycinet, Freycinet Lodge, or the newly revamped Picnic Island — each set against the jagged Hazards mountains and the sweeping crescent of Wineglass Bay.

Saffire Freycinet, voted the world’s best boutique and luxury hotel, offers an immersive Tasmanian experience: sampling oysters at the Freycinet Oyster Farm, exploring buzzing island bee colonies, observing Tasmanian devils, and tasting craft spirits at Waubs Harbour Distillery. Freycinet Lodge and Picnic Island provide welcoming, comfortable access to the peninsula’s wild landscapes and coastal beauty. Arriving by seaplane adds a unique, elevated perspective that makes the journey as extraordinary as the destination itself.
