Reviews
100% impressed. Experienced guide, polite, gave excellent advice, took care of us all the way, and also gave advice on how to travel efficiently. The itinerary was concise. The food was delicious. Must try!!!
Good and informative tour guide. Comfortable transportation and nice to explore the cradle mountain.
Although the weather was not as expected, Earthly Beauty has a different scenery, it is too beautiful to be worth a visit, as for the tour guide is keen to introduce the history of Tasmania and the scenery of Cradle Mountain
experience was perfect. tour guide John has a lot to share about the history, the views and even the tracks we have in cradle mountain during the ride. we had a decent amount of time to explore within the cradle mountain area. my friends and myself enjoyed the trip a lot.
This is a well-structured tour with enough time at each of the stops (although perhaps we could do with less at Waldheim and more at Dove Lake). Garry is an excellent and engaging guide who delivered plenty of information and kept us on track. My only quibble is the limited number of pickup stops (my nearest was a 15-minute walk).
Memorable Day Exploring Cradle Mountain I recently joined the Cradle Mountain One Day Tour, and it was an experience I will cherish forever. From the moment I met our tour guide, Ben, I knew we were in for a fantastic day. First and foremost, I must commend Ben for his punctuality. He arrived at the designated meeting point right on time, ready to kick-start our adventure. Throughout the tour, Ben's knowledge about the park and his passion for his work were evident. He shared fascinating insights about the flora, fauna, and history of Cradle Mountain, making the journey all the more engaging. One aspect of the tour that impressed me was the lunch options. Despite being simple, they were just what we needed on a rainy mountain day. To my delight, hot drinks were also provided, which provided much-needed warmth and comfort in the chilly weather. It's the little details like this that made the experience even more enjoyable. What truly set this tour apart was Ben's flexibility and dedication to ensuring a remarkable experience for every participant. Due to the inclement weather, we couldn't see Cradle Mountain clearly in the morning. However, when the sun finally emerged after two hours of rain and wind, Ben swiftly adjusted the itinerary. He drove us back to Dove Lake so that we could capture clear pictures of the majestic mountain. This level of adaptability and commitment to customer satisfaction was truly commendable. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend the Cradle Mountain One Day Tour. From the knowledgeable and passionate guide to the thoughtful arrangements and flexibility, every aspect of the tour exceeded my expectations. Whether you're a nature enthusiast or simply seeking a memorable day in the wilderness, this tour is a must-do.
Multiple scenic stops and easy walks to enjoy nature.
the guide is knowledgeable & fun to share the history of cradle mountain, knows where to hunt the wombat & wallaby.
Craddle Moutain is awesome, our tour guide Aaron is wonderful too. Wished we could spend a bit more time in Dove Lake.
a good nature and scenery tour with quite a bit of walking tour involved.
