First, typically I rent a car and create my own 'tour'. I am so grateful I spontaneously elected to book the 2 Day Cradle Mountain Tour with Trent. He has put together a truly amazing experience for all of us. He entertained us with tons of local history and informative narratives of what we were seeing on the driving parts of the day. And walking/hiking through the rain forests under giant ferns to spectacular waterfalls was amazing! Our night accommodations were very comfortable with a unique history of their own. I was wondering about the early starts to our days - spot on as Trent made sure we arrived before other large tours and had Cradle Mountain Park to ourselves. Breathtaking somewhat arduous hike to Marion's Lookout with stunning views along the way with a sweet wallaby sighting. Add this tour to your 'must do' reservations when you're in Tasmania!!!

Cannot suggest taking a tour with wild Tasmania tours enough! Trent was an incredible tour guide who went above and beyond to give us the best tour of cradle mountain. Throughout the two whole days, Trent spoke with so much enthusiasm and passion about the wildlife and landscapes that Tasmania has to offer. We were also able to learn loads from him about the history behind some of the small towns and natural parks. Above all, the promise to see some of Australia's known for wildlife and mountain ranges up close was certainly fulfilled and would without a doubt sign up for another tour if given the opportunity! Thanks a million to wild Tasmania tours for an unforgettable trip to cradle mountain!

The best tour we took in Tassie and the best way to see cradle mountain! We spent the first day seeing all the gorgeous falls and rainforests. We stayed over at cabin with gorgeous views by a lake —then travelled to Cradle before everyone got there and were able to spend real quality time there. It was in a word-spectacular and our guide was fabulous! I planned this trip from the US by emailing with Lauren and she made our whole experience so good. She answered all my questions (and there were a lot!) and helped so much! Can’t recommend this tour enough! Just amazing!

The 2 day tour is perfect for people who want to see cradle mountain and the beautiful nature in the west in a short amount of time. We saw so much wildlife and Trent was able to tell us all about the animals and vegetation. The accommodation was really comfortable and clean, highly recommend this tour for anyone!

I just finished two days trip to Cradle Mountain with WTT.
It was totally fantastic experience.
Trent is a very experienced guide and your operator, who was in the business for a long time.
He is very knowledgeable and highly professional guide. He told us many interesting facts about particular places, people and events.
We visited three waterfalls, many nature walks and hydro town.
Our accommodation at Tullah Lakeside
Lodge was great, as the rooms were large, clean and comfortable. It was particularly important after cold and rainy first day on the road.
The jewel in the crown was trip our to Cradle mountain. It was spectacular on the bright clear day. We were so lucky.
We saw a few wombats, echidna, wallabies and pink robin. Trent showed us a great variety of native plants. It was very informative.
A small group of seven lovely people, who love hiking and adventure. A new spacious, clean and super comfortable vehicle with a trailer for luggage.
And have a mentioned that Trent is a very careful driver?
Very positive feelings, great weekend.
Highly recommend!!
