Description

River – forest – sky – discover them all at the exciting new-look Tahune Adventures Tasmania, one of our island’s must-visit destinations.

It’s a comfortable and scenic 90 min drive south from Hobart.

Walk high above the forest canopy on our iconic attraction, the famous Tahune AirWalk, sharing the lives of the forest giants from up-close, looking down to the place where the wild waters of the Huon and Picton Rivers mingle. The 600 metre walkway ends at a spectacular cantilevered platform 50 metres above the riverbank, with views extending to the mountains of the World Heritage Area. Allow 1 hr to complete. Basic fitness is required. Wheelchair access is available on the AirWalk, onsite shuttle bus available upon request.

This is an on-water experience that everyone can enjoy.
