Excellent Value - Gary our driver was very informative and we learnt a lot along the way. The day was clear so we were lucky to see Cradle Mountain and a few wombats.

Good day out in nature - We travelled to Tasmania with a large group of Intellectually Disabled adults. The Cradle Mountain tour was fantastic. We were lucky to have a perfectly clear day with no cloud on the mountain. Most of us walked to the Boat Shed, and were rewarded with amazing views over Dove Lake. Our group was made to feel very welcome by our guide Ben, (who even gave a Unicorn toy called Fluffy, the grand tour!). Ben's passion about the Waldheim family and their legacy was inspirational, so I will have to spruce up my poor garden. One day... ;) We also stopped at Sheffield to see the murals, had lunch at a lookout with little hut, and saw a wild wombat. A perfect day out!!

A pleasant time spent - Enjoyed the scenic drive n seeing the changing landscape. Spotting wombats n wallabies in the wild was a real treat. Too bad time n weather disallowed a lengthier walk about the lake. There was some snafu with pick ups.

Great Trip, Pity about The Guide - The trip was very good but I found some of Garry's commentary and guide talks quite trivial and even downright incorrect! He needs to brush-up on certain points about wombats, particularly. He should also not call the native birdlife derogatory names - does he really care about the natural environment on Cradle Mountain or is he just doing the job to be paid?

Self drive rather than bus tour. - Best recommendation is to not take the bus tour. Drive to the parking area and use the blue shuttle service which is regular and comfortable. Bus tour uses cramped mini buses, uncomfortable, and of little knowledge sharing. 4 hours in a sardine can is not the way to travel.

Cradle Mountain - Ben was informative & knowledgeable. Unfortunately it felt like a pick up & drop off trip for people seeing the accommodation places & transfers more. Disappointed 10 minutes at Sheffield, 20 minutes Asgrove cheese, limited time at Dove Lake due to damn transfers. Would not recommend.
