Mt Gower Expedition
Take on Lord Howe Island’s signature challenge with a guided ascent of Mount Gower. The full-day expedition climbs through changing forest zones and steep mountain terrain, with ropes assisting on exposed sections before the route reaches the 875-metre summit. Along the way, local guides share insight into the island’s rare plants, wildlife and geology, with expansive views rewarding the effort.
Guided only, with local operators Jack Shick or Dean Hiscox on set days. It’s recommended to bring 3–4 L of water, a backpack, snacks and lunch, a lightweight windbreaker or rain jacket, a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, hiking shoes or boots with solid grip, and a camera.
