Our guides Victor & Matt made the trip – we were novice long distance walkers & inexperienced campers but their patience and understanding was greatly appreciated and has encouraged us to look forward to future treks. Thanks so much for making our 29th Wedding Anniversary so memorable.

We have relived our Tassie walk many times over – in fact each time we‘re back in the bush memories flood back from our trip Thanks once again to the staff for a fabulous adventure.

For the ultimate wilderness experience, this 11 day trip takes advantage of the access the Franklin River offers to the prized summit of the Frenchman’s Cap. From Irenabyss on the Franklin River, we undertake a one-day ascent from the river to the quartzite dome of Frenchman’s Cap (1443m), from where we enjoy 360 degree views over the entire south west wilderness. We return to the river and continue rafting, meeting the challenges of Great Ravine, Propsting Gorge and Newlands Cascades. The massive temperate rainforests of the lower Franklin and Gordon Rivers remind us of what was saved when the Franklin Dam was stopped in 1983. Come and join us for one of the greatest wilderness experiences on Earth.
