We had such a fantastic day at Cradle Mountain! Our tour guide Dale, was an absolute highlight—funny, knowledgeable, and super easy to listen to. He shared really interesting facts along the way and made the bus ride fly by with his stories and sense of humour. The scenery was absolutely stunning, the weather was perfect, and the lunch provided was great too. Dale really brought the whole experience together—we’re so glad he was our guide. Highly recommend this tour!
