It looks like bluebird days and long rows of tulips catching the sun. It feels like sturdy boots in the rich Tassie soil, crisp air at your back. The scent of spring florals. And sounds of awe from other travellers who also made the pilgrimage to enjoy the yearly show 🌷

Are you heading there this year?

Tasmania has been named in the Top 3 Best Islands in Australasia and the South Pacific in the Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Awards.

Two Tasmanian stays earned top honours too: The Tasman, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Hobart was named among the Best Hotels in the World, and Kittawa Lodge on King Island among the Best Resorts in the World.

Not bad for an island off an island at the bottom of the world.

Mona's new library in Hobart holds more than 30,000 books and other oddities from founder David Walsh’s collection. You’ll find everything from Antarctic exploration to casinos, charcuterie and death.

And not one item is filed by the Dewey Decimal System. Every book is photographed instead, so it can sit anywhere on the shelves and still be found.

Have you been yet? What did you discover?

The key to a standout stay? A MICHELIN Key, of course.

Six Tasmanian hotels have been recognised in the 2026 MICHELIN Keys – the hotel equivalent of a MICHELIN Starred restaurant.

Bask in east coast indulgence at Saffire Freycinet – now with Three Keys, the highest distinction on offer – or bed down at Hobart’s heritage and waterfront One Key hotels: The Corinda Collection, MACq 01 Hotel, The Henry Jones Art Hotel, The Islington Hotel and The Tasman, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Hobart.

Hard to go wrong, really.

5. The sandstone facade of The Tasman hotel in Hobart, a restored heritage building with arched windows and decorative stonework, beneath a clear blue sky.

6. The Victorian facade of The Corinda Collection in Hobart, a two-storey mansion with ornate cast-iron lacework balconies, yellow and green paintwork, and a formal hedge garden in the foreground.

7. Two people stand on a timber-clad rooftop terrace at MACq 01 in Hobart, overlooking the River Derwent and marina with distant hills visible on the far shore.

Honestly, we’re even more excited than these whales.

The best time to go whale-watching in Tasmania is in October and November, when humpbacks, southern right whales and occasionally orcas and blue whales migrate to Antarctica’s cooler waters, swimming close to the island’s east coast.

You might spot them putting on a show during a feeding frenzy. They may even throw in some fancy tail slaps for you.

The best way to see whales this spring?

🛥️ Book yourself a spot on Pennicott Wilderness Journeys’ Tasman Island Cruise, skimming across the sea beneath towering dolerite cliffs along Tasmania’s south-east coast.
�🍷 Board Pennicott’s bougie Wineglass Bay Cruise, whisking you away to Tasmania’s famous turquoise bay. Upgrade to the Sky Lounge for local w**e, oysters and cheese on the upper deck.

🌊 Try spotting whales from land instead at these seaside spots: Cape Tourville Lighthouse wheelchair-friendly lookout in Freycinet National Park, Fluted Cape on Bruny Island, and any number of ocean vantage points along the East Coast Whale Trail, from Binalong Bay to Bicheno and Maria Island.�
If no killer whales show up, you’ll still find plenty of killer views.
�📽️ Pennicott Wilderness Journeys�

Image description: A whale viewed from over the railing of a boat breaches dramatically out of the ocean before splashing back down. A whale raises its white tail out of the sea. A pod of small orcas swims together. A whale lifts its mouth out of the sea as gulls fly overhead. A whale swimming beside the boat spouts from its blowhole. People watch an orca swim beside their boat, with distant hills and sea cliffs in the background.

🐾 To help wombats stay wild, keep a respectful distance of at least 2m (6.5ft) and admire these wild animals without feeding or touching them.

This little timber sauna on secluded Lake Derby has five spots with you and your friends' names on it.

Join a shared session or bring your crew with you for a private booking. Then spend your hour cycling between sweating in stillness with tranquil views, and diving into a crisp lake surrounded by nature. Sounds of rustling trees, lapping lake water and crackling fire included.

Who are you bringing with you?

️💦 Rivers, lakes and waterholes can hide submerged hazards – test the water depth or go feet first before a dip. Swim with a buddy for your safety. Heads up: many Tasmanian waterways are fed by fresh sources from the highlands, so they can feel colder than you expect.

Image description: Looking through a floor-to-ceiling glass window from inside a shadowy sauna floating on a lake, the sauna's wood heater glows orange. Just beyond the window, a woman swims out into the glassy lake at dusk, surrounded by gumtrees. The sky is dark blue with a yellow glow on the horizon.
