The custom private tour was an amazing experience. The beauty and magnificence of 550 year old giant… read more trees up close is mesmerizing. The experience is enhanced by Yoavs expert knowledge of everything tree related. After two days with Yoav I had gained an education on different species of tree and forest growth. Visiting these areas also meant observing logging techniques and understanding the devastating destruction that can occur. Future logging areas marked with the blue ribbon of doom has a strong impact when just 5 minutes away stand Giants of the Forest.
 Organizing the tour was easy. Great communication by Yoav ensured the tour was tailored to my special interests. Top class gourmet snacks and lunches were provided and spectacular settings for meals chosen. 
 Yoavs knowledge of the area guarantees that if there is giant tree nearby he knows where it is!
 Highlights included seeing the Cathedral Tree and spotting the turning of the fagus. This is a must do if visiting Tasmania.
