Craddle Moutain is awesome, our tour guide Aaron is wonderful too. Wished we could spend a bit more time in Dove Lake.

The scenery of Cradle Mountain is beautiful, and the weather is ever-changing. Sometimes the sun shines, sometimes light snow falls. Although it is cold, it is extremely beautiful. The tour guide David drove very steadily and explained carefully. He also prepared hot tea, coffee and cocoa for everyone to warm up, which was very considerate.

The scenery was beautiful, even though it was still cold and snowing in the early spring in mid-September! The tour guide David explained carefully and prepared a great lunch (including vegetarian/vegan options), as well as hot tea and hot chocolate! Due to snow, the road to Pigeon Lake was originally closed, but David switched to a 4WD to take us up. I hope I can stay in Cradle Mountain longer!
