About this activity

Join us for an unforgettable day tour exploring Tasmania's Deep South, where the apples are crisp, the salmon is fresh, and ancient trees await!

Stop in Huonville for a takeaway coffee before enjoying a scenic drive along the Huon River, learning about the region's apple orchards, cider makers, wineries, and salmon production.

At Tahune Airwalk, enjoy two hours exploring. Walk among the treetops on the Airwalk, cross the swinging bridges, or stroll along the riverbank among ancient Huon pines, some 2,500 years old.

After lunch, head to Hastings Caves for an included guided tour of Australia's largest dolomite cave. Admire its formations, learn about the area's geology, and look out for native wildlife.

On our way back to Hobart, stop at a local cider producer where you can purchase a tasting paddle, a glass of cider, or dessert. Relax and share stories with fellow adventurers while enjoying a taste of Tasmania.

Next, we arrive at the Tahune Airwalk, where you'll have two glorious hours to explore this spectacular region. Choose one or all three of the walks on offer. Start with the famous Airwalk, a 600-meter stroll 50 meters up in the tree canopy amongst the world's tallest flowering plants, the eucalyptus gum trees. Feeling adventurous? Take on the Swinging Bridges Track, a 3.4-kilometer jaunt where you'll cross two swinging bridges over the Huon River the first (100m long) and the Picton Swinging Bridge (64m long). Alternatively, you can stay on the ground and enjoy the tranquillity of strolling along the riverbank through ancient Huon pines, mingling with trees that are 2,500 years old. Talk about a walk-through of ancient times!
