Bruny is a lovely, beautiful and fun place to explore by bicycle, with a wide variety of natural vistas and landscapes – a microcosm of the nature of Tasmania - packed into a remote yet accessible island.

A lightly packed road bike gives you the option of a solid day trip to experience a flavour of the beaches, forests and landscapes of Bruny.

A slower option for exploring Bruny is a touring trip spread into an overnight trip or longer, where camping and accommodation options would enable you to explore as far south as Cloudy Bay and the Cape Bruny Lighthouse, along with Adventure Bay, the Neck and the option of exploring North Bruny too. There are plenty of options for a biking, camping and walking tour of Bruny where you can combine a number of cycling, camping and walking options into a slower and wonderful experience of the varied landscapes and rhythms of the island.

There are also a number of shorter both flat and steep dirt roads and mountain bike trail options that give great opportunity to explore some lovely nooks and crannies of the island too.

Bruny island does have a lot of tourist vehicular traffic and narrow winding roads, so care should always be taken to use strong lighting and bright, reflective high vis gear to minimise the risk of getting hit on the road. See Cycle Touring in Tasmania: Preparation and Safety, for more information.
