Walk the long, narrow sandy isthmus known as “The Neck”. | Andrew Wilson
Tasmania is home to some of the most spectacular landscapes; wild, rugged coastlines, jagged mountain peaks, pristine beaches and never-ending vistas. Find out what the best views in Tasmania are!
Bruny Island
Bruny Island is a naturally beautiful place in every sense of the word. With its pristine environment, fine fresh produce and sparkling beaches, it's no wonder why it's referred to as Tasmania's shining gem! The lookout of The Neck (pictured) offers one of Tasmania's most iconic views: the isthmus of land connecting the north and south of the island with stunning 360 degree views. If you're lucky, yoy'll even spot some penguins that live in the area.
See it for yourself: Join the Bruny Island Food, Hike and Bike trip, with five days of exploring the treasures of Bruny Island's wild, rugged and magical landscapes. On day 1 we enjoy breathtaking views from the Neck's viewing platofrm across the island and Southern Tasmania.
Cradle Mountain from Dove Lake
The view of Cradle Mountain shot from below the edge of Dove Lake is one of the most common shots we see on social media. Perhaps it's the quaint boat shed that rests on the shortline, or the colourful wildflowers that create the perfect frame - or the sheer beauty of cradle mountain itself. Whatever the case, there's no denying that this is one of the prettiest views in Tasmania!

Federation Peak
Located in the heart of the Western Arthurs, Federation Peak is described as one of the toughest bushwalking challenges. Those who take it on are rewarded with unparallelled views from the summit. With Lake Greeves in the foreground, and views of the jagged ridges, glacial lakes and wild river valleys as far as the eye can see, it's no wonder the Federation Peak is one of the most sensational views in Tasmania.

Not only is Wineglass Bay one of Tasmania’s most beautiful beaches, it’s also one of the most photographed spots on the island. The perfect combination of sparkling blue water and dazzling white sandy beach, framed against the grey and pink peaks of the Hazards make it a magnificent sheltered waterway.
