The walkway is located approximately 70 kilometres (43 mi) south of Tasmania's capital city Hobart.

The Tahune Airwalk site offers three walks onsite plus the Cable Eagle Hang Gliding.

The footbridge is 620 metres (2,030 ft) long, with 1.6 kilometres (0.99 mi) of access paths to the bridge and 112 steps to climb to the peak.

The airwalk is situated in a wet sclerophyll forest which contains many rainforest elements, including Myrtle Beech, Sassafrass, and Leatherwood trees.

The broader region contains a mosaic of wet and dry sclerophyll forest types, as well as rainforest in undisturbed areas.
