Travel by motorcoach and take in the scenic countryside of the fertile Huon Valley, dotted with farms and bordered by hills and mountains. Orchards and vineyards abound, and the journey alongside the picturesque Huon River is quite breathtaking, with reflections of the yachts and hills in the water.
At a local Huon Valley café, sit down to a refreshing morning tea or coffee served with sandwiches, miniature quiche, homemade cakes, cookies, and fresh fruit.
Next, venture deep into the tree-clad country of the Tahune Forest Reserve. The Tahune Air Walk invites you to stroll in the treetop canopy up to 120 feet above the forest floor, deep in the heart of the wet eucalyptus forest. Use all your senses to take in the views and scents, and to discover how truly glorious nature can be from this bird's-eye perspective.
There will be time for you to purchase lunch (at your own expense) at the visitor center while you take in the magnificent scenery of this area.
The return route passes along the charming Derwent River before reaching the suburbs of Hobart and the pier.
