Looking for Family Friendly Activities in Huon Valley

 The Huon Valley is a fantastic destination for families, offering a range of activities that cater to all ages. Here are some fun ideas: Nature Walks and Hiking : Explore the beautiful walking trails in places like the Huon River or the nearby Hartz Mountains National Park, where you can find trails suitable for families. Apple & Cherry Picking : Visit local orchards, especially during the harvest season (December to April), for a fun Cherry or apple-picking experience. Some farms also offer other fruit-picking options. Wildlife Spotting : Head to the Tahune Forest Reserve for a chance to see native wildlife. The treetop walk is a hit with kids and offers stunning views. Boat Tours : Take a scenic cruise along the Huon River. Some tours even offer wildlife watching opportunities.  Or for more adrenaline junkies there is the HuonJe t boat Tour. Local Markets : Check out local farmers' markets in the area, where families can enjoy fresh produce, crafts, and sometimes live music.
