Begin your adventure with a scenic drive south from Hobart to Tahune Adventures, one of southern Tasmania’s must-see attractions.
Walk high above the forest canopy on the Tahune Airwalk and share the lives of the forest giants from up close. Look down to the place where the wild waters of the Huon and Picton Rivers mingle.
Reach the end of the 600-meter walkway at a spectacular cantilevered platform 50 meters above the riverbank, with views extending to the mountains of the World Heritage Area.
Try the thrilling 400-meter cable Eagle Hang Glider (ticket purchased separately on site). Soar like an eagle from a lofty perch high in the treetops, feeling the wind beneath your wings as you dip and swoop across the Huon River.
The Huon Pine Walk is easily managed by most people and is one of the best places in Tasmania to see young and mature Huon pines growing in their natural riverine rainforest environment.
Follow the forest and riverside trail to the Swinging Bridges track, crossing two suspension bridges across the rushing waters of the Picton and Huon Rivers. The churning, tannin-colored water beneath your feet began as rain and snow, deep in the Southwest wilderness.
Take a break to enjoy local Tasmanian produce in the cafe, including the Huon Valley’s wonderful cool-climate wines and local ciders. Pause for a snack, light meal, tea, coffee, or a waffle-cone ice cream. Browse in the gift shop and choose a piece of Huon pine with its unique scent to remind you of your visit.
