Created in 1997, South Bruny National Park was formed in recognition of its abundant birdlife, coastal heathland and its prominent place in the Tasmanian history. Its stunning coast comprises of towering cliffs, muttonbird rookeries, gardens of kelp seaweed and long sandy beaches. Some areas of the park extends several kilometres back from the coastline where rainforest may be found containing plant species unique to Tasmania.

South Bruny National Park encompasses all of the coastline and some of the hinterland between Fluted Cape and the southern part of Great Taylors Bay. Bruny Island Charters eco-cruise travels from Adventure Bay where the National Park begins down to the friars at the southern most point of the conservation area.

After you have been on the Bruny Island Charters cruise you also have the option of exploring South Bruny National Park by foot using the numerous short and day walks available. For more information on these walks please see the Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife website.
