Bruny Island tours & holidays

Absolutely. All passengers travelling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their trip. It's important to understand that each country you visit may have its own specific entry requirements, and some destinations mandate travel health insurance for all foreign travellers, regardless of their nationality.

Your leader will record your travel insurance details on the first day of the trip. Due to the varying nature, availability and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is an essential part of every journey.

Bruny Island has a cool temperate climate with four distinct seasons. There's not really a 'best' time to visit as each season is special in its own way.

However, the island shines in summer when the weather is warm and sunny, and extended daylight hours mean you can explore well into the evening.

Winters are cool and wet, but great for getting cosy with a cool climate wine, while autumn and spring see mild weather and smaller crowds.

The weather in Bruny Island can vary with the seasons with winter getting a fair amount of wind and rain and summers offering long daylight hours.

Spring (September to November) brings warmer daytime temperatures of 15°C to 17°C but nights can still be chilly with lows of 7°C.

Summer on Bruny Island is fairly mild with average highs of 19°C to 20°C and lows of 12°C. The water temperature in Tasmania is cooler than other parts of Australia, but it peaks in February with an average of 14°C to 19°C.

In Autumn, the highs will drop from 19°C to 14°C by May, but it is one of the best seasons for sampling cool climate wines and indulging in Pacific oysters. 

Winter temperatures on Bruny Island are brisk, and it can be quite windy. July is the coldest month, with average highs of 13°C and lows of 6°C, while August is the wettest, with an average of 13 days of rain.

Depending on the season, you’ll need to pack a few additional items for a trip to Bruny Island.

For trips outside summer, ensure you pack a good rain jacket and shoes for any walking in the national park. You’ll need plenty of warm layers in the cooler months and for the evenings in spring and summer.

The UV index is high in Australia, so be sure to pack a sunhat, sunscreen and sunglasses.
