Great for wallabies and pademelons though.

Thanks for taking the time to leave this review. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the day and felt well looked after.

Our guides do much more than just get you from A to B, so hearing that the knowledge, courtesy and little details stood out is really appreciated. I’ll pass this on to the team.

Thanks again for choosing McDermotts!

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.

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.

Make sure to take a rain jacket as the weather is very cool and changeable at Cradle Mt. and wear comfy walking shoes. 

A Sandwich Lunch wrap was provided it was made freshly on the day, along with a cake slice, Apple and bottle of water. There are also plenty of stops to purchase other snack items. 

We want to thank Dale our driver and Bill or an excellent day.

David was an excellent Guide who was so knowledgeable not only about the places we visited - but all things Tasmania - I learnt so much.   First stop was to Sheffield - the mural town for sightseeing and David yo pick up a pre selected included pack lunch for us all from a delightful bakery. Then onto the Cradle Mountain National park.  We had ample time to visit the main area and home of Gustav and Kate Weindorpher.  David gave us such a great insight into their lives, achievements and legacy

A perfectly organised day trip. Full credit to Steve and Ben for an enjoyable day for the bigger group.  I was in a smaller group that had a fantastic walk around Dove Lake with Rob - definitely a great way to see it and because you a walking the whole way you see all of the different environments, including the small beaches and rainforest as well as the changing light on the mountains and lake. Not to mention a good way to get beyond the crowds on a busy sunny summer’s day.  Rob’s really informed and interesting discussion on the plants, trees, mountains and history really added an extra dimension. First rate!

Informative and fun. Food was great. Excellent value for money. Hotel pick up was so easy. The walks were perfect for us with a moderate level of fitness. Scenery incredible. Booking process easy. 

Steve and Ronnie were so obliging to help my partner spring a surprise marriage proposal at Dove Lake on my birthday! They took great photos! Thanks McDermott's for making our day so memorable.

Sheffield stops were the best but would have liked to spend a bit more time at the Ranger’s office to look at the old photos and album. 



Really enjoyed Wilhelm cottage. 



Macca (driver and guide) was AMAZING, but needs to work a bit on his jokes & get his “botany” sorted 



Overall, a lovely trip

We got to experience local history and amazing views, with clear skys over cradle mountain and learn the amazing history behind it becoming a heritage park and experience the story of those early pioneers.

Highly recommend the trip.
