The tour guide, Aaron was extremely knowledgeable and experienced. We had a small bus, which he drove well in the rain. He knew when to talk, and when to not. He seemed to really enjoy his job. Despite the rain, cradle mountain was beautiful. I couldn’t tear my eyes away from the vistas. Even with the freezing cold and the misty rain, I would do the tour over again. The dairy at Ashgrove is the final quest of the day and 100% if you’re able, get some ice-cream. The Ashgrove cream flavour was divine.

What an enjoyable day, considering the inclement weather. I thought we spent just the right amount of time at each stop. Rained most of the day, but still managed to sneak in some good shots of Cradle Mountain. Only 4 of us on the tour (which was understandable due weather). Our bus driver Dale was the highlight of the day. He was so knowledgeable and is really passionate about his job. Nothing was a problem for him. He made the day extra special. Would recommend this tour

What a fabulous and a rare opportunity to see Dove Lake in all it's winter glory. Our coach arrived dot on time at Best Western pickup and our driver Aaron proved to be a real highlight of the trip. Aaron provided a wealth of knowledge and experience of not only the Cradle mountain area, it's wild life and park history but of Launceston and the regional towns on route. Fortunately the weather was kind enough to enjoy the beauty of Dove Lake, the incredible views of Cradle Mountain and a visit to the Waldheim Chalet. Now I know the story, the struggle and the history of the National parks creation I appreciate it even more. Our bus trip was peppered with stop offs in the town of Sheffield and at a selection of water falls, ancient history walking trails and included a very satisfying lunch at a circa 1940's hand built day hut. On our return travels we enjoyed a most relaxing and welcoming stop at the Ashgrove Cheese for a cheese tasting and a glass of Merlot topped off with a very nice locally made ice cream. Our bus, a modern 24 seater was quiet, clean and comfortable and driven very capably by our tour master Aaron. We had a fantastic day and an experience hard to match on Tassie.

Brilliant day trip stopping at the Sheffield Murals on the way which was interesting. Thoroughly enjoyed Cradle Mountain with one of the stops being at Dove Lake. It rained at times, but it didn't stop me appreciating the beauty of the area. I also enjoyed the visit to the cheese factory on the way back, which again was interesting. Definitely recommend doing the tour.

Our Driver Ben was a wealth of knowledge, the day was magical. Day had a bad start due to other passengers not being on time for their pick up, some 20 minutes late, but I congratulate Ben on his organisational attitude to get the day on a positive from then on. Such a beautiful place to experience, the walks we did were easy going, we enjoyed it and would recommend it to others.

Our tour guide Ben was exceptional with his knowledge . Loved tour overall especially the tour of forest and Ashgrove cheese factory.

This tour was enjoyable from beginning to end. It started with a scenic drive to the town of Sheffield. I especially liked the fantastic views of Mount Roland. Our guide, Ben, provided excellent commentary on the historical, cultural and economic aspects of the region. He was also a wealth of knowledge on the both the flora and fauna we encountered during the tour. When we reached Dove Lake and saw Mount Cradle it was easy to understand why it is regarded so highly. The view was just magnificent. We were very lucky because as our time at the lake was coming to a close, it started to rain and the fog significantly affected visibility. After lunch, we went to the chalet built by Gustav Weindorfer. Overall, his story is a sad one, but his home and the surrounding King Billy Pine forest were marvels. Thank you Ben for a memorable day!
