5.00Great trip, guide was very knowledgeable and the bus driver absolutely nailed the windy roads! We missed out on seeing the murals as we ran out of time, due to passengers coming back late at designated times. Otherwise, there was plenty to see and do at all the stops and it's a beautiful part of the state! 😀
Ben did a great job...

5.00Our Cradle Mountain tour was a fantastic experience. Ben was an excellent guide — knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and clearly passionate about what he does. The locations were beautiful, and the scenery throughout the day was stunning. I also really appreciated the lunch from a local bakery, which was delicious and made the tour feel like very good value for money. Overall, it was absolutely worth it, and I would highly recommend it.
Amazing sights and day out!

5.00The tour was well organized and gave us plenty of time to enjoy each venue. We started out at SHEFFIELD and had coffee and our lunch was provided there. We enjoyed the beautiful artistic murals painted on the buildings, and then went on to see cradle Mountain, where we took a Short walk around Dove Lake area. The unique landscape of Tasmania is breathtaking. We were also able to visit the Homestead of the original founder of the cradle Mountain Park. We had a leisurely drive back with information given about each area by our Guide John, who is very knowledgeable. We stopped at a honey shop and were able to sample the delicious offerings. John was very attentive, kind and gave a great history of the whole area and pointed out to us the historical sites of Launceston. This was one of the best tours I’ve taken out of six in Tasmania.
Simply the best!

5.00This is a fantastic tour and we highly recommend it rather than driving yourself. It is so much better to relax and hear the interesting commentary of the sights and history of the area. We enjoyed Every aspect and Ben our guide was so knowledgeable and caring on the very windy roads we encountered. Mel in Admin also deserves a big shout out for finding a nd arranging the return to Launceston of my husband’s lost mobile phone. Thanks to the whole team!

4.00The Cradle Mountain Tour was lead by a very experienced tour guide named Ben. His knowledge of Tasmanian history was amazing. In addition, his passion for the Tasmanian wilderness was evident through his tour commentary. Our only disappointment was when we booked the tour it specified that we would visit a Cheese Farm but instead we were taken to a Honey Shop. This change was never communicated to us either before or during the tour. Overall, a great day!
Just do it!

5.00This was a great day out. Extremely well organised by Ben and Steve who both had incredible knowledge of the area and its history. I did the 2 hour Dove Lake walk which i would highly recommend. We went at our own pace and the views were amazing.
