Walk through treetops, relax in thermal pools and explore a 40 million year old cave system.
Highlights
- • Visit Tahune Adventures and walk through the treetops 40m above the ground (chhose from a variety of walks)
- • Visit Hastings Caves State Reserve and enjoy the guided Cave Tour, 40 m below the ground
- • Swim in the Thermal Springs swimming pool and test the water temperatures on the Hot Springs Nature Track
- • Drive the Huon Valley and discover Tasmania’s diverse Apple growing history
- Enjoy seasonal roadside stops – Honey Tasting, Ice-creams, Berries, Apples, Cherries
We 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.
From there we travel 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 & 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, we stop at our favourite roadside stalls to load up on fresh produce and local handcrafted treats after an action-packed day.

Getting up and down in Nature
Great to get out and about in the diversity of lutruwita/Tasmania. From 50m up in the Tahune Airwalk (don't miss the Wishing Tree - literally) to 40m below ground in the Hastings Caves. While I enjoyed the forest and Airwalk, the Caves were spectacular (shout out esp to our guide Spud - great commentary style).
