If you're looking to kill some time on your shore day and don't really mind what that entails, this might be for you. However for our group of 4, we booked this tour with the expectation we'd focus on Cradle Mountain (as the name suggests). Unfortunately we were only advised once we reached the visitor centre that we'd only have "20-30 minutes" to self-explore after purchasing our entrance fee (another $55 per couple). The guide dismissed any early and ongoing attempts we made to accommodate that preference. Instead we wasted 45 minutes at a restaurant that was overpriced, empty and still managed to forget our order (despite the guide handing us printed menus in the car, which was a bit strange). We spent another 45 minutes travelling on a longer route back that was in reality just a windy road that didn't help anyone's motion sickness and another couple of unremarkable stops. There was easily more time OR this could've been a half-day tour at half the cost. The communication was handled poorly (I'd go as far as to say unprofessional). Overall, felt like an expensive Uber. This is my first review and I decided to leave it, so people can make an informed choice. I wish there were more reviews prior to me booking and that's a lesson for next time.
