What to expect

Journey south of Hobart through the scenic Huon Valley to discover two of Tasmania’s most unique attractions — Tahune Airwalk and Hastings Caves. Begin with a gentle forest walk leading to the famous Airwalk, a 619m steel walkway that ends at a cantilever platform 50m above the Huon River. For thrill-seekers, continue on swinging bridges that span across the river, or take the tranquil Huon Pine Walk to see 2,500-year-old trees.

In the afternoon, visit Hastings Caves Reserve. Enjoy a dip in the 28°C thermal springs pool or wander along the Hot Springs Nature Trail, where warm and cool waters meet. Then, join an expert guide on a 45-minute cave tour to explore vast chambers, intricate formations, and fascinating geology. On the way back to Hobart, seasonal stops may include roadside stalls with cherries, apples, berries, or honey tastings — the perfect finish to a day of adventure and relaxation.

We return to Hobart city around 5.30-6.00pm.

Be prepared for a long day with lots of walking and steps. Our guide was full of information about the rain forest and each of the areas we were in. You could see that he really enjoyed sharing this information. I left the tour feeling I knew so much more about Tassie!

I had an amazing time on this tour. Nick, my guide, was extremely knowledgeable and super friendly. Both the air walk and the caves are truly spectacular, I highly recommend.

Frequently asked questions

How much walking is involved, and are easier options available?

You can choose a walk that suits your energy level. Reaching the Airwalk involves a gentle uphill section and just over 100 steps, while keen walkers can add the swinging-bridges circuit. For an easier option, the Huon Pine Walk is a relaxed 20-minute riverside stroll. The cave visit also involves plenty of stairs, so reasonable fitness and good mobility are important.

What should I expect inside Hastings Cave?

The guided cave tour takes around 45 minutes and leads through spacious chambers filled with striking formations. There are no tight squeezes, but the route includes many stairs. The cave stays at about 9°C year-round, so bring a warm layer and wear supportive walking shoes.

Can I swim in the thermal pool, and what facilities are available?

Yes. Bring your swimwear if you would like to enjoy the 28°C thermal pool. Change rooms and hot showers are available, and the nearby Hot Springs Nature Trail is a lovely alternative if you prefer to stay dry. Time at the reserve is shared between lunch, the pool or nature trail and the guided cave visit, so plan for a refreshing dip rather than a long swim.

Is this tour suitable for children and families?

Yes, for families with children aged 8 and over who are comfortable with an active full day. The treetop walkway, swinging bridges, underground cave and thermal pool give children plenty of variety, while the easier Huon Pine Walk offers a gentler forest option. Everyone should be able to manage stairs and steady walking without assistance.

Is lunch included, and can I buy food during the day?

Meals and drinks are not included, but there is an opportunity to buy a bakery-style takeaway lunch and snacks on the way. You are also welcome to bring your own food and water. Lunch is usually enjoyed in the picnic area at Hastings Caves Reserve.

How do pickup and return transfers work?

Pickup and drop-off from selected Hobart hotels are included. The tour departs at around 7.30am and normally returns between approximately 5.30pm and 6.00pm. Pickup timing varies by hotel, so check the pickup details supplied with your booking.
