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.

This experience is well worth the early start. Unfortunately for the trip I went on the weather was dreadful at Cradle Mountain, however that’s out of everyone’s control, the must did clear and we did see the mountain. Our guide Steve was excellent. He made the day enjoyable for us by giving us a choice of some places to visit, the honey producer and the cheese farm. He was extremely knowledgeable about Tasmania and particularly this area. Wear warm clothing and sensible shoes for walking.

This trip was a great one day experience. Our driver and guide David was friendly, knowledgeable and very professional. I felt very looked after and safe the whole trip. The scenery is spectacular but just a word of warning - it was extremely cold. Like below 0 and the weather can be brutal. So even though it's a day tour, take waterproof clothing (a jacket - at least), scarves, beanies, gloves - the whole bit. The weather can turn on a dime and an umbrella just won't cut it up there. You need to be rugged up and waterproof.
