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!

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.
