What is the Tahune Forest Airwalk? The Airwalk is located in the Tahune Forest. The Airwalk varies between 25 and 45 meters in height and the walk itself is more than half a kilometer long amongst the magnificent forest canopy allowing a unique view of the surrounding environment including the Huon and Picton Rivers. It takes approximately half an hour to walk through and is a level walkway. Time is also available for a second walk on the ground (boardwalk) through the Huon pines. There are disabled facilities and access to the site.

Picturesque place and some great stops on the way. Carry cash for the cherry shed though. The airwalk was spectacular, but for those who have issues with heights, beware.

This was wonderful tour, our tour just me and 2 lovely grandma and there change the bus to 4 wheel car. That is comfortable. Air walk and the forest walk was memorable.

Very relaxing tour, guide was friendly, shared a lot of information throughout the tour and very kind, bought a bag of apples for our tasting. Will be good to shorten the time spent at Tahune Airwalk by about 40min to make a stop at Tassal. Overall, a good experience, recommended.

Beautiful walks._br/_
Disappointed not many Huon pine trees (was told most of the really old ones eg 2000yrs are on the West coast and largely inaccessible)._br/_
Good value for money and very enjoyable. Small group was good too._br/_
The driver was a local and went above and beyond expectations._br/_

The tour was relatively good. The Tahune forests was great to visit and the air walk was a nice experience. We only had about 1.5-2 hours at the airwalk because the guide made a mistake with the time. A little rushed to do everything in that short time but I think being there for 2.5-3 hours would have been too long. The small stops along the way back were not particularly interesting._br/_
Overall a good trip but more for the free time to see the air walk and forest than for the tour itself.

longer time could be allowed for completing the tracks, but the lunch is good and the tour guide is well informed

nothing special really....I cant figure out why it's so expensive for just 3 walks...
Review by: Jenefer P, January 2011
fantastic scenery, well informed driver/guide. Unfortunately, the cruise we booked to finish the day didn't end up going ahead because there wasn't enough people. The drive told us that the cruises don't normally get enough people until the Christmas season starts.

Pick-up from hotel was perfect and driver charming. Main tour was interesting and informative - the driver being a great source of information over a wide spectrum. Stops were adequate and well spaced. Ample time given for each area of the tour. Lunch was very good. Airwalk and forest walks were memorable.

One of worst value tours i did ever. not exciting, and walk to swin bridge too long for too little of a 'thrill/view' lucnh - awful cheese sandwich and an apple which was bad, and oozing from the bottom (this in apple country). not to mention we got soaked in the rain. no umbrellas, raincoats provided. i've been to other outdoor adventures where rain gear is provided free if needed. there a simple rain coat was $32. terrible value. Also the 3rd time i have booked through viator and the tour was cancelled. at least this time i was contacted and asked to change the date....but from a day of good weather forecast which i deliberately check wefen booking, to a day of all rain! all in all, this tour is not worth it....just a long drive

What a wonderful experience this was! When the tour guide said there were "X-number of steps", we thought he meant stairs, but it was just walking steps. Only once did my vertigo surface on the airwalk and that part could have been easily avoided. I'm proud of getting over the swing bridges though. We enjoyed lunch in a quiet forest setting with some new-found friends.

Definitely a must-do tour.
Review by: Mark K, August 2008
The Tahune Airwalk is amazing! Definitely worth the trip. Seeing the massive trees dwarfed only by sequoias was an experience. The stop offs for breakfast and lunch were a nice change from the fast food pace travellers often get into. Worth it.

It was wonderful. Our guide was very personal and relaxed even when we had a lady with special considerations.
