I loved that we had no stress we were looked after from pickup to drop off. Lunch was great. Steve our guide was informative and had many stories to impart to us. I would recommend this tour as value for money.

We were so lucky , despite the extreme heat, we still saw an echidna and a wombat. we also had one of the rare days when the view of cradle mountain was very clear. Our guide was great and luckily for us the bus wasn’t full so we could spread out a little.
