We are frequent kayakers back home, but wanted to explore remote southwest Tasmanian wilderness areas by bushwalking with an experienced guide. Liam of Tassie Bound was happy to oblige. His original plan was to guide us to the summit of Mount Anne, but 100kph winds made that impossible. So instead we explored the Growling Swallet and hiked the Pinnacles off the road to Strathgordon. Liam was professional, well-prepared, extremely personable, knowledgeable, and safe. We would never have found the first trail without him. His beautifully restored old Land Rover is part of the ambiance of the trip itself. Next dream trip: to return with my trail-running friends and pound out some extreme bushwalking. I know Liam would be up to the challenge.
AMAZING! Highly reccommend. We (2 couples) did the twilight platypus tour and absolutely loved it! Liam was such a great host, remembered all of our names and made us all feel so welcome and comfortable. We saw about 10 platypus, and stopped for a wonderful cheese platter during the trip – perfect! Liam took loads of photos that we easily just grabbed off Facebook once he uploaded at no charge. Oh, and you don’t need to be an experienced kayaker either! Great great great!
What an incredible experience. Liam picked the 3 of us up from Lake Pedder Lodge. Travelled to Teds beach where we launched off from. Liam ran through safety tips and sent us off on a little walk ..meanwhile he unloaded the kayaks. Set off kayaking on Lake Peddar. MAgic Day. It was like a mill Pond. The 4 of us silently glided on the lake marvelling at the beauty and peacefulness. Paddled to a small quartz beach and had a bite to eat. Great wrap made by Liam from home grown and locally sourced food. Special! Brownies were a huge hit, Fiona’s secret recipe!!! Time disappeared into the beauty that surrounded us and we hardly noticed the 3 hours as they slipped by. This is a must do if you are anywhere near Lake Pedder …even worth a 2 hour drive to experience the splendour of this area, Liam very knowledgeable and passionate about the area
