Yes, it is a big day, but it is quite simply the best way to experience Cradle Mountain from Hobart.Why travel and spend the day with us?Over the past few years, Sam has taken many groups to Cradle Mountain whilst also focusing on other tours and experiences closer to Hobart. It is not an easy place to get to, but here’s the thing...Sam has lots of energy, loves driving, and believes that a big day to Cradle Mountain is the best way to appreciate Tasmania’s natural beauty and make the most of a single day. Many have commented that this day trip and being able to fully experience the beauty of Cradle Mountain at their own pace for 3-4 hours has been the highlight of their time in Tasmania.Safety.You will be asked to sign a waiver at the group briefing upon arrival at Cradle Mountain Visitor Information Centre, and prior to boarding the shuttle bus that takes us down to Dove Lake. Weather conditions on the day will be absolutely top of mind, and the fact that conditions can change quickly will be discussed. We are not a walking, hiking or guiding service, and while we carry the necessary public liability insurances, we primarily offer this as a transport service for you to access Cradle Mountain National Park from Hobart. The Driver will accompany the "slowest" member/s, or the least confident members of the group and will provide communication backup and basic first aid if required. It is absolutely paramount that individuals who choose their own trails return at the designated time so that group can leave together on time, and we all get back to Hobart at a reasonable hour - typically around 9 pm.
