Details

Port Huon is a small community with big, sweeping views of the Huon River, Bruny Island, D’Entrecasteaux Channel and the Hartz Mountains.

Port Huon was once a busy trading port and the destination for international apple boats that transported and exported the region’s famous apples to the world. The original port remains and is a quaint reminder of the glory days of apple growing.

Today, Port Huon is a departure point for boat cruises up the Huon River. It’s also a great place to stop and take in the views.
