_What You Can Expect_

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 adventure for today is to explore the walks at Tahune Forest Adventures. We begin with a gentle uphill walk, ascending 104 stairs through the forest. We reach the cantilever which then extends 619 metres across the treetops. The cantilever ends at a sensational viewing area perched 50 metres above the Huon River. Enjoy the sensation of being suspended above the Huon River with breathtaking views across the treetops and surrounding World Heritage Wilderness Area.

For the keen walkers we continue our circuit walk back at ground level. The swinging bridges track takes us across the Huon River with a 100m bridge span, this is another thrilling experience and a fantastic location for some fun photos. This is shortly followed by another river crossing and another swinging bridge with a 60 metre span. For a more “tame” experience there is the easy 20 minute Huon Pine Walk.

Onwards, we continue travelling south to the Hastings Cave Reserve. Bring your swim gear and jump into the Thermal Springs swimming pool where the water is always 28 degrees (celsius). Or, just relax in the beautiful forest surrounds. and wander along the Hot Springs Nature Trail. These streams are also home to the unique & playful Platypus, keep your eye out for this elusive local.

Last but certainly not least, we head underground on a 45 minute cave tour conducted by the expert guides from the Hastings Caves Reserve. The cave temperature is always 9 degrees, so bring your warm jumper along for this activity. The caves are spacious with no narrow spaces, however, there are many stairs to navigate. Your cave guide will introduce you to the cave’s history, geology, fauna and unique and impressive formations.

On the journey home, we stop at our favourite roadside stalls to load up on fresh produce after an action-packed day.
