My brother, mother and I took a five day hiking and canoeing trip around the west coast of Tassie, mostly in the Tarkine rainforest. Aran, the guide to end all guides, took us round and had an incredibly extensive knowledge of the geography, history and biology of the region; letting us know plenty without bombarding us with a list of forgettable dates and genuses.

It was a really beautiful region, with almost any breather we took lasting a little longer so we could soak up the view our check out some strange little flower. The hiking was scrambly enough to satisfy my brother’s and my bushwalk-y muddy-booted desires, whilst being tame enough for my little old mummy (fingers crossed that she doesn’t read this). Also, Aran has some super fancy pedal powered canoes that allowed us to soak up the lakes and rivers without destroying our city-fied arm muscles.

I won’t go on for much longer but it really was a cool trip: we climbed 3 major peaks and a few more minor ones, with Aran agreeing to take my bro and me up the last one early on the day we had to leave; we hiked through loads of different types of beautiful rainforest; and we learnt of, and met; loads of wonderful Tasmanians (specifically Saige who came on the tour with us and Earle… a true blue gold panner!). I really recommend this trip and even though we didn’t, I hope you’ll be able to spot a Tigercat (according to Earle – half Quoll, half Thylacine).

Thanks for a great trip Aran!

I was hoping for an experience of pristine wilderness along with some hearty exercise. I was not disappointed!

What a thrill it was to dip the paddles into Dove Lake, then master the foot powered propulsion system in my single person hoby canoe.

The circumnavigation of Dove Lake by canoe was simply stunning. Beautiful vistas in every direction. Opiate for the soul.

And that was just day one!

The hike up Mount Donaldson was hard yakka but very rewarding and the 17km canoe trip down the Pieman River was magnificent. I saw a sea eagle, cormorant, even platypus!

It was really lovely that travel, food and accommodation were all diligently taken care of by our guide Aran, and his knowledge of flora, fauna and local history contributed to a wonderful experience of the Tarkine Wilderness.

This is a trip I can recommend highly.

Hermed en hilsen fra norden (Danmark) Vi vil hermed sige Tasmanian Safaris et stort tak for en fantastisk oplevelse, som vi har haft ved at rejse med jer rundt i det vestlige Tasmanien. Det har været nogle fantastiske vandreture vi har været på med jer, I har udvist en fantastisk service, hvad enten vi var på vandretur eller når der skulle tilberedes måltider under vejs om dagen. I formåede virkelig at skabe en god stemning om aften i lejren, rundt om lejrbålet, med god mad og plads til et hyggeligt glas vin/øl. Vi må nok sige, at lejren i Corinna, var så hyggeligt et sted, at det ramte vores hjerter!! Vi kan på det varmeste anbefale andre naturelskere at booke en safari tur hos Tasmanian Safari.
