Awesome night walk seeing a wide range of wildlife. We spotted pademelons, Bennet wallabies, wombats, quolls and bushtail possums, including some very up close (on wombats came and sniffed at our boots). We also saw a Joey Wombat on the grass. Our guide Les was patient and knowledgeable and we all felt comfortable throughout the tour. I’d highly recommend this tour,you can see some of the animals yourself but we would not have learnt so much, or seen the quolls or possums independently.

Seeing the wombats.. excellent the driver/tour guide was very knowledgeable and took her time to explain everything

YiChing_S

Excellent tour guide who’s very knowledgable about the wild and passionate about the ecosystem. Despite the rainy weather, we got the chance to walk a bit and saw quite a few wombats and wallabies!

Belinda was a fantastic guide with a wealth of knowledge about the national park and its wildlife. We saw pademelons, Bennett's wallabies (many with joeys), brushtail possums, wombats, and were extremely lucky to also see both a spotted-tail quoll crossing the road and an eastern quoll foraging at the Ronny Creek boardwalk. Would recommend this tour to anyone, even without the quolls!

Definitely a highlight of my trip to Cradle Mountain, highly recommend. Andy was very knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide. We saw many different animals on the tour both from the coach and walking along the boardwalks inside the park.

We saw such a range of wildlife, including wombats. Andy is a lively local with a good understanding of the area. She handled the mountain road with confidence with a running commentary all the way. We all had a chance to carry the torch with a walk along the boardwalk at the end. So much fun!

This is a must do at Cradle Mountain. Andy our tour guide was fantastic - the coach picked us up at our camp ground, and within 100m down the road we were spotting wildlife. Over 30 wombats, two quolls, possums, wallabies, pademelons, bush chickens..... and then a shooting star at Ronny Creek as we got back on the bus. Andy was very helpful and knowledgeable and made the trip for us.
