'Absolutely magical life-changing experience! The most “Wow!”s per square minute I have ever uttered, and all entirely genuine! I could not recommend more highly! Thank you so much for an incredible experience, Lisa-Ann!'

'Lisa is so passionate about what she does, she really brings the magic alive (my 7 year-old declared that it was nice to know 'this kind of magic is real')! We had a wonderful, awe-inspiring evening spotting orange possums, pademelons, bandicoots, and some surprising flora. This is a unique experience that I'd recommend to all.'

'What a great experience - educational, inspiring and just plain good fun. Lisa is a fantastic host; engaging, very knowledgeable and extremely passionate. If you are in Hobart you really should undertake this tour; as Molly Meldrum might say "do yourself a favour" and go on this trip to a place you didn't know existed, the after dark world under UV lighting. Mind blowing. Just book it.'

'Lisa’s tour is superb! I discovered a whole new way of enjoying nature. Seeing the familiar plants and the often drab-looking invertebrates come to life glowing in Avataresque blues, greens, and reds is a little bit like visiting a different planet. Not to mention possums glowing pink! And Lisa is an amazing guide, so passionate, knowledgeable and personable. If it wasn’t for Lisa I probably would’ve missed the epic Aurora that happened during my visit. I couldn’t recommend Lisa’s tour highly enough.'

'This was honestly our highlight to our visit to Tasmania. Lisa was not only a wealth of knowledge, she was so much fun and easy to chat with, and her passion for all things that glow made the experience so special. The information was presented in such an engaging way, through personal stories and anecdotes, humour and interesting tales, and made us excited to go and find our own glowing things out in the wild! ... Highly recommend for locals and visitors alike.'

'Don’t miss this tour! Even if you have seen Aussie animals many times this is a surprising and wonderful exploration of the world around you. Lisa is a perfect guide who has the enthusiasm and insight to make this a very rich experience. My 80 year old Mum thoroughly enjoyed the experience and was easily able to navigate the area Lisa had found for us to explore. Hope you have as much fun as we did.'

'Came into the experience expecting it to be spectacular, but Lisa went above and beyond! She is clearly very passionate about what she does, and is full of fun and thought-provoking information.
She has opened my eyes to the many wonders of the world, I will definitely keep an eye out for many of her future projects. And will definitely be coming back to Tasmania to do another glow show.'

Walking Tours with Dr Lisa Gershwin
When we are children, we believe in magic. Then we grow up and discover that magic isn't real. But this is magic that is real!
Tasmania: Oh So Much Glow!
The Glow TourTM is a uniquely Tasmanian experience that features native animals and plants in a way that you've never imagined! They look like AI, but they are absolutely real. And if the aurora or bioluminescence are happening, we may have the option to see those too! Perhaps described more easily with poetry than science, Tassie's glowing phenomena are the most wondrous part of our night life!
The Glow Tour is suitable for adults, children, tourists, locals, anyone wanting to know more about Tasmania's naturally glowing phenomena and how to find it. And it is wheelchair accessible as well!
