Hastings Caves, Tahune Airwalk & Huon Valley Guided Day Tour

What your day looks like

Join us for an unforgettable day tour exploring the pristine beauty of Tasmania's deep South, where the apples are crisp, the salmon is fresh, and the trees have been around since before your great-great-grandparents were born! Our first stop is Huonville, where you'll have a chance to grab a takeaway coffee and stock up on any essentials for the day. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the scenic drive along the beautiful Huon River. As you sip your coffee, you'll hear tales about why this area is famous for its apple orchards, craft cider makers, boutique winemakers, and salmon production. 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! After lunch, it's time to venture further south to the magical Hastings Caves, where you'll marvel at the underground wonders of Australia's largest dolomite cave. Your entrance ticket (included) grants you a guided tour through this fascinating cave system, led by an experienced and passionate guide. Here you can admire the intricate formations and learn about the area's geological history. While exploring the Hastings Caves State Reserve, keep your eyes peeled for native wildlife like platypus, quolls, pademelons and birds. On our way back to Hobart, we'll stop at one of the local cider producers where you can enjoy a tasting paddle with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options or indulge in a complimentary mouth-watering apple pie if your stomach desires. It's the perfect way to wrap up a day of exploring. There's truly nothing better than sitting back, relaxing in a historic venue, enjoying a drink, and sharing stories with your fellow adventurers.
