It was amazing. Our tour guide rob was so amazing. He knew so much and was just great!! He made the trip so memorable
Thank you for review, glad to hear you had an amazing tour with Rob.
What a fantastic experience this coach tour was. All my concerns about possibly being on a big tour coach were eased when I saw the medium sized bus taking us to Cradle Mountain. Yes, I visited in winter so the difference might be summer time when it's busier. Nevertheless, there was just myself and an Australian family of 5. Dale, our driver and guide, was an experienced, friendly local. And a very competent and safe driver. We had a few interesting stops on the way there and back. All with adequate time to explore and relax. That was really appreciated. Sadly, Cradle Mountain was mostly under a cloud, and it was rainy in the national park. But it can be like this at any time. Also appreciated was the hot tea/coffee and biscuits in the shelter at Cradle Mountain. Lots of wildlife to see as well, and sometimes we could get up a little closer. Couldn't fault anything about this experience. Even when I had issues with changing my booking the administrative staff on the phone were so helpful and patient. And there was no fuss or bother.
Thank you for your kind review, we have passed this onto Dale. We are pleased to hear that you had an enjoyable day overall and a great experience with us.
We had a really great experience on the Cradle Mountain Day Tour! Dale our guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The lunch provided was very generous and tasty! The stops were very interesting and picturesque - enough time for us to explore. We went as a couple but we felt like it would have been good for families too! Highly recommend 😁
The guide and driver (Ben and Dale) were great. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Overall a great taste of Cradle Mountain. Perfect if pressed for time like we were.
Dale was an excellent Tour Guide, he had a good sense of humour which made the trip exceptional. He was very informative and was happy to answer all questions fired at him. The tour itself was amazing and the day I went we could actually see the baby in the cradle - we were lucky we had such a beautiful day to experience all the wonders of this gorgeous place. I would highly recommend this tour.
We appreciate the review, thank you! It is always great to hear that our guests have had an amazing experience on this tour. We have passed on the review to Dale.
Amazing time travelling to Cradle Mountain and learning the history behind this national park. The walk through the rain forest was beautiful. Thks
Learning the history of the Mountain really makes the mountain come alive! Thank you for the review.
Argh, Cradle Mountain rains most of the year and we kept up the tradition of a wet arse but the tour one of the best tours we can ask for we were lucky to go with one of the best guides we have been with a great company. The day was unlucky with the weather, But Ben made the trip with love, knowledge of the area, history. Although we saw the Mountain and Lake with water dripping off our noses, we could see the beauty around us. On the return trip he stopped at Weindorfer forest to get to see when it is raining the moss and other plant life come alive. We were lucky to see a Wombat feeding beside the road within five metres of the small bus. All i can say rain does not always mean a bad day.
You have a great outlook here, rain does not equal a bad day at all. We appreciate the review you have offered and glad that the tour was rewarding despite the weather.
Great tour! We had a wonderful day thanks to our drive Steve. Lovely bus, knowledgeable locals, yummy lunch and stunning location
We appreciate your review, and glad to hear you had a great tour!
Great small group tour and our guide Alan was so friendly, informative and supportive especially to me who would not have walked all the walks on the day without his help. Went above and beyond to ensure we all had a memorable experience. Views and walks were something to remember for a long time.
Thank you for your review, it is nice to know that you had such a memorable experience with us.
The trip was very good, guide was excellent, lunch was average. The trip probably could be shortened.
Thank you for your review, glad you did have a good day at the Mountain.
