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.

Excellent trip, we met the “Holy light” on the way - a huge rare rainbow looks like full of the valley, it glorying us, David and everyone, I guess so. We saw the tea beach, the water on the shore looks like tea, the 1st time I saw that in my life. We climbed the Gordon dam, and David took us to the highest point of Gordon dam, at the highest point, Gordon dam is not so shocking as we stand on it…:)
An amazing, homely and naturally rich tour

It was so nice to go for a guided tour with David last Saturday 11th November 2023. He was such an amazing tour guide who looked after us so well. We felt as if we were going with a family. He was so professional and knowledgeable about Lake Pedder, Gordon Dam and mostly almost everything about the places around Tasmania and their wonderful stories. We overenjoyed our outing so much. We recommend anyone interested to take a tour with David. He is a fantastic fellow. Thank you so much, David for this opportunity.

We had a perfect trip yesterday. We visited the Lake Pedder and Gordon dam, and we are very grateful for our guide David. He is very experienced and knowledgeable, providing detailed explanations for each place. The geographical and historical knowledge made the trip even more interesting. The scenery is so beautiful, and the Gordon dam is truly impressive. The whole trip was rich and comfortable. We will definitely participate again next time."
