About this tour
A full-day loop from Hobart combining three distinct Tasmanian experiences. Start at Tahune Airwalk, where a suspended walkway climbs 40 metres through the forest canopy above the Huon River—or stay grounded on gentle loops below. Next, descend into Hastings Caves on a guided underground tour through vast caverns, then finish by soaking in natural thermal pools. You'll need moderate fitness and a head for heights, but the payoff is genuine variety: canopy views, geological drama, and geothermal warmth in one outing.
Highlights
- 40-metre suspended walkway through forest canopy
- Guided descent into Hastings Caves underground chambers
- Natural thermal spring pool for post-tour swimming
- Huon Pine Walk among ancient heritage trees
- Swinging Bridges Walk across the river for keen hikers
- Ground-level alternatives to aerial sections available
What to expect
You'll spend roughly three hours at Tahune, starting with the highlight—the cantilever bridge elevated well above the forest. The views of the Huon River valley are genuine; if heights unsettle you, the ground-level tracks are equally worthwhile. Travel time to Hastings Caves is around 45 minutes. The cave tour itself lasts about an hour, involving descent via steps and uneven ground. The thermal pools afterwards are a proper reward—clothing-optional sections exist, and the water is genuinely warm. Bring a towel and swimmers. The drive back to Hobart takes roughly two hours.
Good to know
Not suitable if you have spinal issues, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns. Wear sturdy walking shoes; caves stay cool year-round. Pack breakfast and lunch—there's limited food nearby. The airwalk can feel exposed; take your time. Bring a sweater for the caves.
