Hastings Caves, Tahune Airwalk and the Huon tasting trail
Overview
Available languages
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!
Description
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.

5.00Great experience! Very active: I had a foot injury that slowed me down, so only made it through the Tahune Airwalk. Skipped the swinging bridge, but my husband loved it. He also loved the caves. Very nice day - one of our favorites so far.
An interesting experience with a very knowlegeable guide.

Tahune Airwalk … Amazing 🤩🤩

5.00We spent a day and night at the Tahune Airwalk staying in their cabin and had the most amazing time. The airwalk and associated walks were awesome - but take your time to look at all the amazing trees and surrounds rather than just walking through. Heaps of Huon Pines along the river which were awesome to see. The staff were amazing, friendly and helpful. Staying in the cabin gave us access to walks out of usual hours so we did the Huon Pine walk early in the day just before the place opened. Food at the cafe was amazing and we finished off the visit with a trip on the Eagle Glider which was awesome fun and well worth while. Stopped at Kermandie Hotel for lunch on the way home - the food was fresh and great quality, and again the staff were super friendly. All in all we had an amazing couple of days and I was a little sad to be leaving but will be back!
Pasqual provided great...

5.00Pasqual provided great insight into history, fauna and flora during long stretches of driving . Caves and skywalk are breathtaking but the pie stop at the end topped off the experience. Lots of steps in the caves, but spaced out- average fitness required.

The Best way to see the Hastings Caves

5.00We were going to rent a car to see the caves. So happy we decided to do this tour instead. The skywalk was beautiful and energising. The caves stunning. We experienced so much more doing the tour. Jodie the driver was so friendly and gave great commentary. The ride back was so smooth and relaxing I fell asleep. It was great Jodie remindered all to use seatbelts. ( at first most people didn't clip in. Perhaps put a sticker on the door to reinforce seatbelts compliance). Thanks for a great day Isaac.
A fun day out!
