My friends and I chose to do a full loop around the lake on the day of our tour. The trail was mostly flat, and the scenery along the way was beautiful, featuring both lake views and surrounding forests. Unfortunately, the weather was a bit overcast when we were walking, and we had to rush through the latter half of the walk to make our集合 time, so we couldn't fully enjoy the views. After the walk, we had lunch at a cabin near Ronny Creek. If you have time, you can also take a short, ten-minute walk to try your luck at spotting wombats.

Truly enjoy the day tour to Cradle Mountain from Launceston arranged by McDermott's Coaches. Our guide David not only show us the best location for photoshoots but also gave an enriching history on Tasmania and how Cradle Mountain became a National Park worthy for everyone to enjoy it's scenary. We truly love the story of Gustave and Kate in their efforts in conservation and we understand why as we walk around the mountain immense with it's beauty and scenic view.

I spent eight days in Tasmania and participated in several day tours. I genuinely feel that the Bay of Fires day tour was the most enjoyable and highly recommended. David is truly an excellent local guide; the itinerary was well-planned, his commentary was professional, and he was always friendly and attentive to us. Additionally, there were six of us on the tour that day, and even though we were all from different places and meeting for the first time, we were fortunate that everyone was very friendly and talkative. The atmosphere of the entire tour was fantastic, leaving us with wonderful memories.🩷

very very good experience! learnt a lot from the guide about the Tasmanian Devils and Quolls! she is amazing and explained very clearly. kudos to her and the team for their conservation efforts and tender loving care to this little ones! I feel the animals are well looked after :) just to note, you are entitled for 24 hours entry before and after your ticket timing, so do visit them again after your stipulated time. highly recommend them if you are in the area. support them as your tickets pay for their conservation efforts!

The tour guide was very friendly and personable, like a living history book, introducing the history of Cradle Mountain. The private car and lunch included in the tour were very convenient. We also visited Mural Town, but due to its distance, the sightseeing time there was not very long. We had about 1.5 hours for independent hiking before the guide led us on the rest of the tour; more time would have been better. Overall, I was very satisfied.

I had a wonderful experience at Josef Chromy Wines in Launceston. The wine tasting was excellent, offering a great variety of local wines, each with its own distinct character. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience very enjoyable.
The lunch was equally impressive—fresh, beautifully presented, and paired perfectly with the wines. The setting was elegant yet relaxed, and the views of the vineyards made the meal even more special.
Overall, it was a memorable experience combining delicious food, fine wine, and stunning surroundings. I highly recommend visiting Josef Chromy Wines if you’re in Launceston.

Bottle of mineral water should be provided as this is a long journey and water station is not accessible along the way. Overall experience is great.

The pass was easy to purchase. Got the Australia pass (2 activities). Definitely, had to plan ahead and 2 activities that are worth more than the cost of the pass.

What to know before visiting Launceston
Quick snapshot of Launceston and what to expect
Launceston’s Klook bookings are led by tours and outdoor & sports activities, so it suits travellers after guided experiences and nature-based days out. Demand rises and falls through the year, with a clear busy spell and quieter months that shape when attractions and activities feel livelier.
Best times to visit for crowds and prices
Klook data shows demand peaks in February and dips around May. Prices trend independently: they fall to a low around April and climb to a high around June, so the quietest month (May) follows the cheapest month (April) while the busiest month (February) occurs earlier in the year. If you want smaller crowds and lower costs, aim for April–May; if you’re after peak-season atmosphere, February delivers the busiest vibe.
Tips for travellers from Australia
Australian travellers typically book roughly three weeks ahead, with many purchases made up to seven days before travel and some securing plans earlier. For popular tours and outdoor activities in peak months, plan and reserve ahead on Klook to lock in your preferred time; for short, flexible trips you can often book within a week of travelling.
