— What You Can Expect —

Leaving Hobart, we quickly descend into the beautiful Huon Valley as we embark on our two-hour drive. We drive through the beautiful winding roads of the Deep South as we head to our first destination, Hastings Caves and Thermal Springs.

Head underground with a specialist guide to exploring the largest dolomite cave open to visitors in Australia. See spectacular stalactites, columns, shawls and stalagmites. The cave is spacious with no narrow passages, however, there are 250 stairs with handrails leading in and out of the cave.

Feeling chilly from the cave experience? Warm up in the nearby swimming pool which is fed by thermal springs. The water is 28 degrees Celsius all year.

Next, we explore more of the Huon Valley as we wind through the countryside toward Tahune Adventures.

Between October and April, we stop at the historic Kermandie Hotel. Built-in 1932, the charming Kermandie remains the heart of Port Huon. Here you can enjoy a delicious lunch with spectacular views over its private marina on the Huon River. In the colder months, you can enjoy lunch at the Tahune Adventures café.

After lunch, we venture into the forest at Tahune, where we will spend two hours exploring the forest. Walk among the treetops on the Tahune airwalk – a steel canopy that overlooks the forest floor 50 metres below. Breathe deep as you do a forest walk and be brave as you cross the river on a swinging bridge.

Follow the Huon Pine Trail to see and smell one of Australia’s oldest living trees. Find out how fire has affected the forest and see first-hand the natural regeneration that occurs in a forest environment.

For the thrill-seekers, there’s an optional extra to take on the Cable Eagle Hang Glider. Be whisked 250 metres across the Huon River at speeds of up to 40km per hour.

Finally, you can sit back and relax as we make our way back to Hobart after a fun day out amongst the natural surroundings of Southern Tasmania. We aim to get you back to Hobart by about 5:30 pm ready for you to rest at your hotel or enjoy a range of cuisines at one of Hobart's many fine restaurants.

Our first stop is to stretch our legs at the wooden boat building town of Franklin. See the beautiful ,hand-crafted wooden boats, some made from ancient Huon Pine timber.

Enjoy a 15 minute relaxing dip to warm up in the nearby swimming pool which is fed by naturally warmed thermal springs. The water is 28 degrees celsius all year!

Enjoy a relaxing stroll through the cool temperature rainforest around the thermal pool area. If you are lucky you may see the elusive platypus swimming in the river!
