Experience the best Tassie has to offer - Malcolm was a great guide and a driver, I was seated at the front so we talked throughout the entire day and I learnt a lot. Hastings Caves are awesome, highly recommend visiting. I also enjoyed the airwalk even though I’m not a huge fan of suspended bridges. Also, the lunch is amazing, I wish the portion was bigger though.

A Day in HUon valley - Hastings caves were excellent, only one way in and out. Fascinating and our group was very lucky to score a private tour guide. Tahune airwalk and bush walk park was fun, I didn't venture onto the over hanging platform as it was rather windy and the platform was swaying. The two swingbridges were enthralling and a little bit scary at first, I felt more confident on the second one. Huon valley very scenic and beautiful, lunch was great as well., Our tour Guide/Driver Malcolm was superb, I would definetly recommend this tour, was a great day out.

Fabulous day with excellent driver/tour guide! - You just have to swim in the Thermal Pool. Brilliant experience. The caves are amazing and the treetop skywalk is a must do.

Spectacular and breathtaking. - This experience was exhilarating. The Hastings Caves are spectacular. There are a lot of steps but manageable and with hand rails. The Tahune Airwalk and stroll through the forest and across the swinging bridges is breathtaking. Our guide, Huw, was fantastic, informing us about various aspects of the beautiful south-west area. I could not find this part of Tasmania included in any around-Tasmania coach tours and recommend this as an additional exciting day.

Not to be missed tour. - Swimming in the thermal pool was great. The caves are fantastic and the sky walk excellent. Our driver, Gerard, was so knowledgeable and gave us such an invite to the history and geography of the area. We only had 7 on our little bus which made the day even more enjoyable. Lunch was delicious at the pub.

Highly recommended! - If you're visiting Hobart then I would definitely recommend this tour! Our guide was Keeley and she was warm, friendly and very knowledgeable. It felt like a great day out with a thoughtful friend who knows a lot and who took care of everything for you. The Cave and the Tahune walk were spectacular in their own ways and it's a fantastic way to explore Tasmania outside of Hobart. Highly recommended.
