Tours exploring the untouched and carefully preserved Tasmanian Wilderness are a must for anyone visiting Tasmania. Our tour guide and bus driver Headley was on time and provided terrific commentary. On site, our guide Megan was informative and sympathetic to the abilities of the group by modifying and pacing the walking tours for us._br/_ It is a long day tour, but the scenery is quite spectacular! A must see for the nature enthusiast.

Absolutely fabulous! Our guide was so wonderful and knowledgeable. Cradle mountain and Dove Lake are spectacular. Wish I could have stayed there longer. Will definitely do it again.

A fantastic experience. Bus arrived on schedule. Imogen, our guide for the day gave a commentary which was informative and interesting on a range of topics- places, history, landmarks etc. We stopped at Sheffield briefly, before making the drive to Cradle Mountain. Imogen had everything organised for us which was great. She kept a steady pace for us to walk around Dove Lake, stopping along the way to explain certain features, and giving us time to take photos. Scenery was amazing, plenty of photo opportunities. It was cool and a rain jacket was handy for the showers that occurred. Good walking shoes are a must. Afterwards, we had lunch - wraps/sandwiches, drink in a hut, followed by a visit to Waldheim house. We stopped at Ashgrove Cheese before heading back to Launceston. Overall, the experience exceeded expectations - wealth of information gained by being with an excellent guide and only a small group of about 9, access to the park and facilities, for a first time visit to the area the day was very enjoyable.

Perfect weather for a clear view of Cradle mountain. The coach driver's commentary was interesting and informative. It's an excellent way to see the countryside and we stopped at a couple of the towns. A most enjoyable day trip.

We were lucky in having a perfect spring day which did help. The McDermott's coach driver/guide was most friendly, helpful and full of added info all the way there and back for that matter. He was a key ingredient to making the days tour informative, educational and therefore more enjoyable with meaning and purpose to the days outing. All it did was whets one appetite to go back for a longer time and go trekking in the Mt. Cradle National Park.

This is an excellent trip if you would like to experience Cradle mountain. _br/_ During the stop at the visitor centre, keep an eye for wombat as they roam freely in the area. There was plenty of time to do the glacier stone hike nice view from here and a walk to the opposite side of the lake.

Our Tour to Cradle Mountain was surely Memorable, with Hedley our Tour guide and bus driver a full comprehensive informative tour from hotel pick up to drop off. We got to meet some local Wombats, which is a first for us, in there own natural environment, friendly enough for a pat. The weather was of cause very cold and windy, just what we expected, with a beautiful dusting of snow on the Mountains. Loved our day and will be back some day for sure. The stop to the Cheese Factory on the way back to Launceston is a great compliment to the Tour as the Cheese is Delicious and so glad we bought some home. Thanks again for a Great Day out!

We experienced Cradle Mountain at its finest. We were told it rains 240+ days there but it was sunny and bright during our trip. Paul our Guide had an encyclopedic knowledge which he shared with us. Strongly recommend the tour.

This tour is very much at the mercy of the weather. On a clear day the views are fantastic and you're likely to have a long walk around the lake though there's not enough time to climb the mountain. On a bad day the mountain will probably be covered in cloud and you'll spend most of your time in the various visitor's centres and lodges. However whatever the conditions you're likely to see several varieties of wild Australian marsupials. Takes several hours each way to get there which includes a number of photo stops and a stop at a cheese factory, but within Launceston the hotel pickup and set down are reasonably quick due to the town's small size.

the group arrived at cradle mountain were there was a cycling event being held, a shocker of a day raining fog ect by the time we arrived at the mountain blue sky's an encouraging sign. the trip itself was hurried we only saw half of what was offered.

It was amazing to get to visit Cradle Mountain. And the weather was very kind to us the day we went, as it has been raining and windy. I would love to go back and do some trekking and take in the beautiful surrounding again. Big thank you to our guide Headley, you made my Launceston trip complete.

Amazing day tour. Cradle Mountain lived up to its reputation. It even snowed on us for a few minutes. So excited over that. We had only a few on the bus and our tour guide knew his stuff too.
