Tahune Airwalk and Hastings Caves

Itinerary:

Valid for 01APR24-31MAR25:

Set off from Hobart and make our way south, through the Huon Valley (Tassie’s apple growing epicentre) towards the tall, green Southern Forests. Our first stop is Tahune Adventures where a range of great short walks through native bushland await you. The most exhilarating is the Airwalk: a gravity-defying path suspended high in the canopy that gives a bird’s eye view of the entire forest. If you’re not quite ready to come back to earth, take the guided Swinging Bridges walk across a bouncy suspension bridge that hangs 100 metres over the Huon River. A more relaxed option is a gentle stroll along the riverbank amongst ancient Huon Pine trees. Then traveling to Hastings Caves for a chilled lunch, a warm dip in 28°C thermal pool, and the Hot Springs Nature Trail… before going underground. A Parks and Wildlife guide will lead you through Tassie’s most famous cave, Newdegate Cave, a dramatic dolerite cathedral decorated with stalactites, stalagmites and flowstone formed 40 million years ago. On the journey home, getting to stop at our favourite roadside stalls to load up on fresh produce and local handcrafted treats after an action-packed day.
