We travelled to a beautiful park. Made it back to port just in the Knick of time. Peter was creative and knew his stuff. Wish we had had better instructions about how the port shuttle was needed to take you to the town to meet the excursion shuttle leader.

Our guide, Jeremy, was knowledgeable and interacted with the group which made it more person. Although it was cold, windey and raining sideways, (we bought Mac in a Sac rain jackets), it was worth the views. We saw wallabys and wombats in their natural environment which was pretty neat. Very interesting scenery and countryside. It was a nice way to see the working side of Tasmania.

My wife and I had a great time with the mountain views, touring the Cabin, and doing the various hikes that our tour guide recommended. We also enjoyed the local wildlife Wombats.

This was a full day tour to the Cradle Mountains. Check in was easy and the small group made it more friendly and enjoyable than a cruise ship tour. Guide was very personable and caring. Excellent place to go for the day. And we got to go on some short hikes based on abilities. The only thing I think could be improved on was the guide didn’t always talk to the whole bus but rather just those sitting in the front seats. It made the rest of us feel a little left out. He was a good guide though and knew a little about a lot of things. He could easily hold everyone’s attention when talking to all of us.

Great tour. Met us where the cruise buses drop you off. Mark is a Tassie Native and had some awesome commentary. Very informative and also super funny. About 1.5 hours drive each way up to Cradle Mountain. A few hours to explore the area - walk part of the overland track, explore a chalet, and walk around Dove lake (can even swim if the weather is nice) plus a stop a cafe on the way to get some lunch. Back with plenty of time to get back on board. Not much to do in Burnie so a great way to spend the day. Also about 1/3 of the cost of the shore excursions the cruise ran with literally the same itinerary.
