'Adventure Bay' is a bay on Bruny Island in southeastern Tasmania. Discovered in 1773 by Tobias Furneaux, it was named after his ship, HMS ''Adventure''. James Cook explored the region in 1777, as did William Bligh in 1788 and 1792.
Adventure Bay Eco Village is at Cookville, the original settlement that became Adventure Bay. The Eco Village has a colony of the rare Bennetts White Wallaby and wildlife tours run on most days at 4.30 pm. Cookville is the original landing place in Adventure Bay of Captain James Cook. It is also the site where Captain Bligh planted the first apple and pear trees on Tasmanian soil.
