encouraged to participate]
Come and
walk amongst the treetops with us at the Tahune Adventure
Park. A scenic 90-minute drive south from Hobart, one of southern
Tasmania’s must-see attractions.
This
stunning treetop walkway gives you a bird’s-eye view of the forest as you walk
20m above the forest floor. 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.
What to
expect?
- To reach the start of
the AirWalk you’ll gradually ascend 104 steps, with places
to sit and rest.
- Basic fitness
is required to complete the 619 metre-length of
the AirWalk. The full return journey takes about 50 minutes – more
if you stop for photographs, spot birdlife, or pause to enjoy the clean,
fresh scents of the forest.
*Accessibility: We also offer disabled access –
please enquire at the Tahune Adventures ticket office. No bushwalking
experience required. Flat even surface with no steps or steep sections.
