Our tours have been designed to limit the amount of walking involved and offer alternatives where walking is required: 

The Truganini Lookout 

There are 279 stairs up to the top of the Truganini Lookout at the Neck Reserve; however, at ___ stairs, there is one lookout. There is also a flat boardwalk out to the beach if you wish to avoid stairs altogether. 

Cape Bruny Lighthouse  

From the car park, it is a short 5–10 minute walk uphill to the entrance of the Lighthouse. Inside the lighthouse, there are 72 steps with a handrail to reach the balcony. 

Views from the base of the Lighthouse are still breathtaking, and there is the option to explore the Cape Bruny Lighthouse Museum if you do not want to walk up the stairs in the lighthouse. 

Please contact us if you are unsure if this tour is suitable for you.

Our comfortable air-conditioned buses seat a maximum of 20 guests and one of our wonderful tour guides.
