SPECTACULAR - This was a fantastic, memorable tour.
Our guide Malcolm was extremely knowledgeable and had a marvellous sense of humour. Thank you Malcolm for making it such fun.
Hastings Caves were as impressive as I remember them as a small child.
The Tahune airwalk was just stunning.
Annnnd....I saw the Cartela boat after 30 years!
Smaller group tours are definitely the way to go. Highly recommend. I hope you had a lovely dinner Malcolm.

Stunning caves, amazing sights. - The Hastings caves are amazing. Definitely worth the travel. Stunning crystal formations.
The Tahune airwalk takes you up into the trees and makes you feel so small against the massive trees.
Our tour guide was really friendly and very informative. The whole day was fabulous.

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.
