It’s a comfortable and
scenic 90-minute drive south from Hobart to Tahune, one of southern Tasmania’s
must-see attractions. At Tahune Forest Adventures you can walk high
above the forest canopy and share 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. Here you can soar like an eagle from a lofty perch high
in the treetops, feeling the wind beneath your wings as you dip and swoop
on a thrilling 400–metre cable hang-gliding flight across the Huon River. Take a break to enjoy local
Tasmanian produce, try Tasmanian salmon and honey and taste the Huon Valley’s
wonderful cool-climate wines and local ciders. Pause for a snack, light meal,
tea, coffee or an ice cream. Browse in the gift shop and choose a piece of Huon
pine with its unique scent to remind you of your visit.
