WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Hobart
This tour travels south of Hobart, along the Huon River through the Huon Valley and into the great Southern Forests. Sitting 50 metres above the Huon River, the Tahune Airwalk is a fun and thrilling adventure walk. After enjoying a bird’s eye view of the world, we then head underground to explore the mysterious labyrinth of caves at the Hastings Caves reserve.
2. Geeveston
We start the tour by travelling south of Hobart through the picturesque Huon Valley a region famous for its abundant produce of apples, pears, cherries and fish farming. Our first stop for the day is to explore Tahune Adventures with the AirWalk and several forest walks to choose from. We begin with AirWalk and a gentle uphill walk covering 104 steps to reach the elevated walkway which sits 30m high among the treetops. The AirWalk covers 619 metres with the final cantilever section sitting 50m above the Huon River.
3. Tahune Adventures
Enjoy the sensation of being suspended above the Huon River with breathtaking views across the treetops and surrounding mountains. We have time to explore and enjoy more walking here at Tahune. For our keen walkers we then continue onwards to the Swinging Bridges Walk. The swing bridge extends 62 metres across the Picton River. This is fun 60 minute walk with two river crossings exploring a beautiful part of Tasmania. . For a “tamer” experience there is the easy 20 minute Huon Pine Walk where these famous and unique local trees grow alongside the river with some as old as 2000 years, a delightful and enchanting short walk.
4. Hastings Caves and Thermal Springs
We continue our journey south to the Hastings Cave Reserve. This is a quiet, remote and spectacular area where we enjoy a variety of activities and soak up the unique atmosphere. Bring your swimming gear and jump into the Thermal Springs swimming pool where the water is always 28 degrees, fed by the naturally heated waters of the thermal springs nearby. OR just relax in the beautiful forest surrounds, wander along the Hot Springs Nature Trail where the warm water meets the cool water, and also home to the unique & playful Platypus, keep your eye out for this elusive local. We head underground to explore the spectacular cave which is Australia’s largest tourist Dolomite Cave. We join the underground tour expertly conducted by the National Parks & Wildlife guides. The cave temperature is always 9 degrees so bring your jumper along.
5. Huonville
Our return to Hobart allows us the opportunity to make some short stops along the way. There is opportunity to stop at the many roadside stalls and collect some delicious local produce such as Cherries, Berries, Apples, Ice-creams and also a stop for a honey tasting along the way. (fruit & produce stops are seasonal)

Despite a light drizzle we decided to give the airwalk a go and what a great decision it was. There’s a walk for everyone here and we did them all. Included in your entry ticket is a guided walk to introduce you to the forest and Bill, our tour guide was brilliant; knowledgeable, funny and clearly totally engaged in the environment he kept us interested for an hour and we walked away just that little bit more knowledgeable! Highly recommended for anyone wanting to experience the temperate rainforest.
The airwalk was surprisingly not scary and gives a great perspective on the canopy!

This was such a fun day! Our tour guide Nick was amazing, knowledgeable and you could tell he loves what he does! We felt safe and taken care of the entire day and learnt so much about Tasmania’s history as well as the native flora and wild life. Well worth the money and was a terrific experience!

One of the best tours I've undertaken. Trevor is a first rate guide and provides comprehensive and enthusiastic insight into the areas/towns/environments travelled through, especially re the local flora, which is incredible. Both the airwalk and Newdegate cave are amazing experiences. The whole day was an absolute joy. Essential!

This was an excellent full day tour of three great events. It's a fairly long drive to the Huon Valley through Kingston but very lovely, lots to see. Keep in mind that the Skywalk is about a 2 hour walk on this tour and that there is a lot of steps. You need to be fairly fit and a regular walker. It was a brisk walk but you don't have to do all of it , you could sit in the cozy kiosk and enjoy bush views or just do a short walk and go up to the canterlever part. There are also two suspension bridges as well and the skywalk is very high up. All very safe.

The thermal pool is a fun swim. 28 degrees, so warm in but cold underfoot. Very hot showers when changing and open fires for warming up, great fun. Be brave!

The Caves are close by and magnificent. Lots of steps but absolutely worth the trip. Very safe and talented tour guide.
A really fun active day, we'll worth the money. Take a packed lunch and plenty of nibbles. 😁

An amazing experience all round! We were the only couple on the tour and despite the company likely losing money by only taking us around they still did and treated us like a full group. Trevor (I hope I’m remembering his name correctly) our tour guide, was amazing. He was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and a safe driver. We ended up leaving knowing a lot more about Tasmania’s native flora, caves, and hot springs and had many awesome photos as memories. I can definitely recommend this to others who are on the fence about going, and am grateful to Tours Tasmania for such a great day out.
