Review of the Cradle Mountain day tour from Launceston, with lunch, guided walks, Sheffield murals, transport, costs, and practical tips.
“This experience is well worth the early start. Unfortunately for the trip I went on the weather was dreadful at Cradle Mountain, however that’s out of everyone’s control, the must did clear and we did see the mountain. Our guide Steve was excellent. He made the day enjoyable for us by giving us a choice of some places to visit, the honey producer and the cheese farm. He was extremely knowledgeable about Tasmania and particularly this area. Wear warm clothing and sensible shoes for walking.”

“I loved this tour. Was very informative, the scenery was gorgeous. The staff were helpful, friendly and gave the appearance of loving their job. The snacks and wine and beer tasting was an added bonus. The time flew by so quickly. I highly recommend doing this.”
Taste Tamar Valley cool-climate wines, enjoy lunch, meet winemakers, and return to Launceston after a relaxed small-group day out.
“Nice relaxing day, good variety of wineries, beautiful grazing board for lunch. Terry was a great guide, knowledgable & unrushed, was happy to arrange freight of purchases back home so we didn't have to worry about excess baggage. Only suggested change would be opportunity to go back to previous wineries at end of day to purchase more, though don't know if this would be logistically possible. Highly recommend for the wine lovers.”
Review of the Cradle Mountain day tour from Launceston, with Dove Lake walks, Sheffield murals, wombat sightings, costs, and practical tips.
“Damien was a very thoughtful fun and interesting guide, He seemed keen to impact his love of the Aussie bush to the group and for everyone to have a wonderful experience. He was an excellent driver. He kept everything and everyone on track and gave enough time and options to enjoy the Cradle Mountain experience. We were extremely lucky to have perfect weather- warm cloudless sky to view the scenery. Recommend this company as they give several hours to walk and explore. and it's very convenient to have a bus that goes directly into the park. Save yourself the hassle of driving and park shuttles and take this group tour…”
