The Tahune Airwalk is about half a kilometre long, passing over the tops of trees.

The Tahune Airwalk is one of only a few fixed structure canopy walkways and provides a birds-eye view of the southern forests, the local mountain range and the Tasmanian World Heritage Area.

Tasmania is one of the few places in the world to offer a spectacular treetops walkway.

Visitors "walk the high wire” suspended up to 45 metres in the air on steel towers barely visible from the ground. The Walkway is about half a kilometre long.

On the walkway at Tahune Airwalk

You pass above the tops of King Billy pine and Celery Top, Sassafras and the flowering Leatherwood, at the confluence of two mighty rivers – the Huon and the Picton. One walkway section extends over the meeting of the rivers so that you feel as if you are suspended above it - and you are.

Tahune Airwalk

The AirWalk is surrounded by regrowth forests and you see the changing forest and its life cycle. The Visitor Centre tells the foresters’ story of Tasmanian timber from its historic purposes to modern practices. The Centre’s design reflects its location in the natural environment and features the use of stone, timber and water.

Across the road, at the River’s edge, you will find the Huon Pine trail with a walkway that takes you past rare Huon pines that range in age from 200 to more than a thousand years. They are and renowned for their sweet-smelling oils and have traditionally be used in boat-building and these days feature in high quality timber crafts.

Have a look at our holiday to Tasmania where a walk on the Tahune Airwalk is included.
