It was wonderful but some things to better your services 1. You have to mention the pickup points of the bus. As I went to the bus depot. 2. Because of the rain advice to bring rain coat or umbrella

The guide shared incredible knowledge about the plants and mountains, and I enjoyed taking photos and seeing wildlife at Cradle Mountain. Even joining alone, both the guide and other participants were friendly, making it a great experience.

Great Tour Guide, Too Short Stay in Cradle Mountain

The tour guides Steve and Rob were great in providing good commentaries during the trip. They were both nice and accommodating. However, I was a bit disappointed that our stay in cradle mountain was just 1 hour and 10 minutes. I was expecting to stay there for at least 2 hours. It took more than two hours travelling in a bus to get to Cradle mountain and its a shame we could only stay there for just over 1 hour.
Highly recommended to book.

Macca was a dedicated and skilled driver/guide. Flexible, helpful and articulate. Extensive knowledge. Gave us ample time to capture memories in the photo. A hit! With a big smile on our faces and a very satisfied feeling, we got back on the bus to start the return journey.

We enjoyed the Cradle Mountain Day Tour. Our guide, Steve, was fantastic and very accommodating. I expected a bit more time at Dove Lake, but the group was mostly older and not keen on walking, so we felt a little rushed and didn’t get to fully enjoy the short walks. It was a cold, wet day, which made it a bit tricky. Lunch was fine, nothing too exciting. Overall, it’s a great way to get a quick look at Cradle Mountain, and we’d definitely recommend it.
