Small group tour - Friendly driver, Sue chatted and gave us local knowledge as we headed via Sheffield for morning tea. We didn’t need to follow maps as she confidently headed up to Cradle Mountain. We can thoroughly recommend doing this tour this way.

AMAZING tour with Sue! - It was one of my father and I's favorite memories in Australia. We had one day in Tasmania on our trek around Australia, and Sue made it the most memorable. She picked us up early when our ship got in, took us on a run to Maccas, and then when I told her that my major involves animal conservation, she suggested we go to Devils at Cradle as well as Cradle Mountain. That was the best suggestion ever! I got to see hands on conservation work with Tasmanian Devils, and although Cradle Mountain wasn't showing its peaks, we had a great time walking around the park. Once we were done with our trek, we went to lunch and Sue bought both my father and I a drink because we had never tried it before. She truly made the experience feel like a family trip. We stopped at the Murals on our way back to Devonport and saw so much more than we expected. I would recommend this trip with Sue to anyone looking to travel to Cradle Mountain, or on any other trips she guides. She made the experience one of the most memorable in our travels and was flexible in creating an experience that we would enjoy.

Cradle Mountain - a UNESCO Heritage site - Cradle Mountain is a UNESCO Heritage site & worth the time. Our first stop was a creek known for platypus. It was a nice area but the platypus was in hiding. Howard & Rodney were our team guides & took turns with the narrative. They were informative about the local history, plant life, wildlife, & sights to see. We traveled on the Cradle Mountain & managed a couple of small hikes including one that went through the "Enchanted Forest." Very beautiful terrain. Howard had said that wallaby’s & wombats were a common sight. We take a mile hike & along the way, several of us at the back spot a good sized tiger snake to the side of the boardwalk. We did spot holes in the ground that wombats live in & skat. Wombat skat is odd as they are square. When we arrived at the parking lot. Howard then spots a wombat running across the parking lot so the busload runs over to take pictures. A wallaby is spotted next in the small meadow. The wombat we saw was huge at about 60 lbs., it is more like a hairy pig, yet not quite. So we scored. A clear day to see Cradle Mountain & both a wallaby & a wombat. Travel back into town was through a rain forest & countryside.

Great Shore Excursion - Rodney our guide for our private tour to Stanley from Burnie was excellent. He spoke very well and so informative and friendly. There were 6 of us travelling together from the cruise ship Coral Princess. Rodney stopped along the way at the various scenic lookouts, then at Stanley we all travelled up the chairlift and for a short walk to the scenic outlook. The weather was perfect and we could not have picked a better day. Lunch at Hursheys Seafood in Stanley was also very good and the food delicious. Overall a very comfortable and scenic tour.

Totally hospitable and informative - Howard and Juliet picked us up
and were enthusiastic about our day ahead. They had a well planned agenda and also offer options. Small van seats 11 so no major crowded bus. On the way to Cradle mountain we stopped at a mining town and Juliet treated us to coffee, tea and biscuits
Howard and Julie welcome questions and are a fount of knowledge they will give you as much or as little as you want. They know Cradle mountain well, and were able to recommend which trails would be ideal offering the best views. Then as a bonus we stopped at the enchanted trail Trust them with your day trip as they sincerely want you to know and embrace all that Tasmania offers

Had a wonderful day with... - Had a wonderful day with Mr Smoothie Smith, my name for our tour leader. He was informative and interesting even though it rained almost the whole tour and we didn't get many photos. The memories we keep from that day will always be good!

Long Drive, but we did see the mountain. - We were on a small, old mini-bus and were unlucky to have four seats in the very back. The seats were horrible. Howard did say we could switch around but we declined because we knew no one would want to sit there. The drive was long, but Howard had some interesting information to share. The only problem was Howard kept forgetting to speak into the microphone so we couldn't hear most of what he was saying. The weather was lousy but we were lucky to see the entire cradle mountain. We also were lucky to see a wombat and a wallaby. So there were some pluses to the tour.
