The quiet lake gave a beautiful reflection. Guide Joe paid attention to our physical/medical condition. Walking sticks were provided at the start of the rainforest track. He showed and shared detailed information and passion on the fauna and flora around the lake and the rainforest, pointed out uniqueness during the cruise. Also showed us the responsible maintanence of the Rainforest trails. Interesting fantail bird followed Joe & the group through the Rainforest hike.

A beautiful morning on the lake, amazing scenery and we thoroughly enjoyed listening to our lovely guide Rosie. Fabulous views of the mountains and lots of bird life, including a white heron. It was peaceful, serene and a joy to be there. Rosie made our experience great.

Great scenery. Peaceful. Informative. Small numbers - on the day we went we were the only two! Weather can be a challenge - we were lucky.
