- Geeveston - The tour begins by heading south of Hobart through the scenic Huon Valley, a region renowned for its rich produce of apples, pears, cherries, and fish farming. The first stop is Tahune Adventures, featuring the AirWalk and several forest walks. The journey starts with the AirWalk, a gentle uphill walk with 104 steps leading to the elevated walkway, 30 meters high among the treetops. The AirWalk spans 619 meters, with the final cantilever section 50 meters above the Huon River.

There is ample time to explore and enjoy more walks at Tahune. Enthusiastic walkers can continue to the Swinging Bridges Walk, a fun 60-minute walk with two river crossings over the Picton River. For a “tamer” experience, the easy 20-minute Huon Pine Walk showcases these famous and unique local trees, some as old as 2000 years, along the river.
- Hastings Caves and Thermal Springs - The journey continues south to the Hastings Cave Reserve, a tranquil, remote, and spectacular area offering a variety of activities. Visitors can bring swimwear to enjoy the Thermal Springs swimming pool, where the water is always 28 degrees, naturally heated by nearby thermal springs. Alternatively, relax in the beautiful forest surroundings, stroll along the Hot Springs Nature Trail, and watch for the unique and playful Platypus.
The tour explores Australia’s largest tourist Dolomite Cave, with an underground tour expertly led by National Parks & Wildlife guides. The cave temperature is consistently 9 degrees, so a jumper is recommended.
- Huonville - On the return to Hobart, there are opportunities for short stops along the way. Visitors can stop at roadside stalls to collect delicious local produce such as cherries, berries, apples, ice creams, and enjoy a honey tasting. (Fruit & produce stops are seasonal)
