How to get to the Neck Lookout on Bruny Island

To get to the Neck Lookout, you must first get to Bruny Island. Ferries drive off Kettering, about 30 minutes south of Hobart. The ferry is pretty quick and enables you to take a vehicle quite cheap. Therefore, the best way to explore this beautiful piece of Tassie is to drive here.

When you arrive at the Roberts Point boat ramp, follow the Lennon Road until you go south to Bruny Island Main Highway. Finally you can reach The Neck with the narrow strip of sand and the large, signposted parking lot that you cannot overlook.

Alternatively, you can also book a very popular full day tour from Hobart to Bruny Island, which also includes a stop at the famous Neck Lookout!

Below I attached the exact location on Google Maps so that you can find it easier.

The neck view

The Neck Lookout is the best way to enjoy the picturesque coastal prospects of these unique lands. As soon as you have reached the parking lot, you have to climb 279 wooden levels to achieve the viewpoint of the outpost.

let me tell you that this view is worth the hype and the ascent! At the top you have a 360-degree viewpoint with a view of the golden sand that separates the beautiful d’trecasteaux channel (left) from the Tasman Lake (right).

The wooden footbridge and the stairs also extend to the Neck Beach, an incredibly long sand strip that is home to native birds such as short-tailed storm divers and fairy pinguins.
