From Hobart: Gordon Dam and Lake Pedder Wilderness Day Tour

Interresting journey, another face of Tasmania island, many mountains and lakes. The lake pedder is beautiful. The guide now well the nature and informe you about the variety present in Tasmania. I recommanded if you want discover more of this beautiful island.

Some amazing scenery! It is a long drive, but guide David filled in the time with lots of information about the history, flora and fauna of the area. While I could have driven myself, paying for someone else to do the driving was well worth it. I could relax and enjoy the serenity of the area as well as learn about it.

As we had only 2 of us, we had a private closeup explanations of the tour, short hike in the rainforest and beach and of course Gordan Dam..with the rainy weather, it was quite wet though David had prepared extra windbreakers for us. Note: The creepy crawly walk might need you to bend up and down the pathway.

David is a geologist, and passionate about wild life, plants, ecology and the Tasmanian wilderness. He talked almost non-stop about what we were seeing and gave the background to all the discussions leading to the the flooding of Lake Pedder and the creation of the Gordon dam. He was apolitical and receptive to all questions. A long day but well worthwhile. Rod H

The southwest of Tasmania is a different world from the rest of the island and indeed the rest of the nation. When we boarded, our guide, David, warned us it would be wetter and colder than we might expect. In fact rain all day did not dampen his enthusiasm or patter, and we all loved the views and learned a lot. Gordon dam is an amazing feat of engineering.
