  We thouroughly enjoyd the trip, the commentary onboard from Bill our tour guide about the history of towns we tavelled through was very informtive, his depth of knoweledge about the establishment of the Cradle Mountain area and his overall general knoweledge of early Tasmania was excellent. Make sure to take a rain jacket as the weather is very cool and changeable at Cradle Mt. and wear comfy walking shoes. A Sandwich Lunch wrap was provided it was made freshly on the day, along with a cake slice, Apple and bottle of water. There are also plenty of stops to purchase other snack items. We want to thank Dale our driver and Bill or an excellent day.

• Cradle Mountain is a must do and doing the tour gives you more information about the area.

  Even though the weather wasn't the greatest Garry & Steve did a wonderful job as our guide and bus driver. The commentary was great and the bus trip very comfortable. We did get a little bit of sunshine to enable us to do the walks and even see the baby in the cradle. The couple of stops along the way were also good. In fact, we went back to Sheffield two days later to spend more time there. Thank you for a wonderful day.

• A very worthwhile and entertaining day tour of Cradle Mountain

  Excellent tour and an outstanding guide (Ben). Great coverage of the park, historic residence, and several points in-between (comfort breaks, local foods including honey and cheeses). Ben is encyclopedic in his command of important information, from Australian history, botany, geology, anthropology, Zoology, and politics. He presents in an entertaining, friendly (and humorous) fashion. He keeps the tour organized and on time. He’s also an excellent driver of this large vehicle with a trailer. He prepared us well for the potential for inclement weather, but the weather was fantastic. Please note there is limited storage space on the bus.

  

• A fun jam packed day!

  We had a great day on this excursion! Our drivers were very knowledgeable and passionate about the whole area and shared so much interesting information with us. All of the sites we visited were fun and interesting and lunch at Dove Lake was just right. It was a great day to finish our Tassie adventure.

• Good tour with a knowledgeable and friendly guide

  This was a great tour and our guide Ben both very friendly and knowledgeable.. The stops in Sheffield (both ways) gave ample time to view the murals. The included lunch packs were very good. Although the weather wasn’t great, we braved the elements at Cradle Mountain to get a few photos. Hopefully we can return there on a better weather day 🤞🏻

  Our guide, Ben, was extremely knowledgeable. He made the journey very interesting. He drove carefully around the hair pin bends. Sheffield is a lovely little town. The packed lunch is very good. Once at Dove Lake, you do not have time to walk round it, but can go a fair way. The cabin visit was not interesting to me, but the walk through the forest was. Watch for leeches!

• Easy tour

  Well balanced tour with sufficient time spent at Dove Lake, the chalet and forest walk. Beautiful scenery, easy walk and most importantly the driver Stan did a fantastic job driving us safely. The guide Ben was very informative, friendly and helpful. The group was split into 2 shuttle buses at the national park. The other driver/guide was also very informative and friendly. We had a fantastic time.

• Wonderful experience

  Lovely tour with lots of relevant and local knowledge from Ben, our driver and guide. Stopped at Sheffield for quick coffee and look at the local murals and then onto Cradle mountain where the clouds posted briefly to show the craters of Cradle mountain. We then went onto the rustic replica of the home built by Gustav Weindorfer (and Kate his wife), walked back in time through the Hogwart like forest and vegetation. Then onto honey shop and then cheese place. Long day but we'll worth it!
