My Husband and I had an amazing day at cradle Mountain. It was so nice to have tour guide John take us through the history on the way to the mountain also too give us some background, thats psrt of the reason we picked a tour instead of driving ourselves. We also had beautiful sunny day!
Awesome

Excellent tour guide and spots to visit, but description on website is misleading
Charmaine_C
, May 2022
I'd like to preface this by saying I had a wonderful time, and John our tour guide was excellent. However, the tour description is not very accurate.
We stopped off at Sheffield, or the town of murals, to pick up our lunch (a simple roll). We had about 30-40 minutes to get breakfast and walk around.
Then we went to the visitor centre at Cradle Mountain to look at souvenirs. After that, we visited Dove Lake (the trail itself it 2-3 hours and there was no time for that). We got our best views of Cradle MountIn from the lake, and the lake itself is beautiful. We also went to visit Waldheim and went on a short rainforest walk. On the way back, we visited Ashgrove cheeses.
Pros:
- tour guide was excellent. Knew a lot of history about the towns and the mountain and trails
- brought us to several little stops that we would otherwise have never known to stop at (e.g. to see a waterfall)
Cons:
- time was limited at each of the places, so we could not leisurely walk around and felt rushed
- lunch was a simple roll and teabags and instant coffee with other little snacks (but we ate at a little cabin near Waldheim)
I would recommend you do this tour if:
- not interested in doing a proper walk/hike
- want someone to tell you all about the history and nature of cradle mountain
- want to visit many spots you otherwise would not have thought to visit
- don't expect a fancy lunch

Tour was informative. Dissatisfier was it says water, snacks and lunch was included so we didn’t bring water. Aaron didn’t have water at all and it was hot. Viator should say the truth so we come prepared. Also my husband came with a nice camera to take a picture of the cradle mt. Aaron should have stopped so he can take a good shot. He can’t take it from the van because the window s r dirty and there’s too much reflection.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
