Itinerary

You will travel along the famous Huon Trail alongside superb fruit orchards. The first stop is Geeveston, known as 'Tasmania’s Forest Town' with wooden sculptures throughout the town representing various iconic locals. There is also the opportunity to visit the Forest and Heritage Centre which provides interpretation on forest history and its importance.

We continue onto Cockle Creek, entering the South West National Park. This area has big history which involves whaling, saw milling, mining and at least 40,000 years of indigenous habitation. Here, take the opportunity to relax on the pristine coastline of Recherche Bay or take a walk along the coast to the “Bottom of the World” (approx 2 hours return) or you may prefer a journey on (Australia’s southern most railway) the Ida Bay Bush Railway (own expense).

After a relaxing lunch on the beach, we travel north to the Tahune Airwalk. One of the longest treetop walks in Australia which in places is 40m above the forest floor and Huon River. If you’ve got energy to spare check out the new Indiana Jones style suspension bridge across the river, learn about the forest on an interpretive walk with your guide or simply relax in the café and enjoy the serenity! The daredevils amongst us will be keen to try Eagle Hang Gliding (at own expense), which provides the opportunity to soar like a bird amongst the tree tops!

As the day winds to an end we travel back to Hobart, arriving in the early evening (approximately 6.30pm).
