Second tallest tree on the planet
Only 1.5 hours south of Hobart, near the Tahune Airwalk, stands the world's second tallest tree. It is a 101 meter (approx. 330 feet) Giant Swamp Gum, which is second only to a Giant Coast Redwood Tree in California's Redwood National Park. Our giant tree was found as recently as 2008 and who knows, there may be the tallest tree on earth still hiding in Tasmania's deep, un-surveyed, forests.

Hobart Urban Adventures' greatest assets are our guides, the very persons who will show you what Hobart really is about, how it was in the past and how it is now. Each of our guides has their own stories and anecdotes about Hobart and the rest of Tasmania. Their combined knowledge is like a huge trunk full of treasures, which you can take home with you on our Urban Adventure Tours.
