La Ciudad de los Murales. Sheffield es un pueblo rural pequeño y peculiar, en las faldas de las montañas. Sheffield es la galería de arte al aire libre de Tasmania, con más de 100 pinturas en las paredes de los edificios de toda la ciudad. La obra de arte representa la historia de la región de Cradle Mountain y es una gran muestra de lo que está por venir, antes de continuar hacia las montañas.
Llegamos al Parque Nacional Cradle Mountain, un área de paisajes icónicos con una amplia variedad de senderos para caminar para elegir.

Jess is a great tour guide, with lots of passion and knowledge about Cradle Mountain and the animals in there. She is very helpful and funny. The weather was not good, it was raining and cold, but Jess still managed to offer us with hiking options and bought us to places to see wombats and other animals. She also gave us thick raincoat to keep us warm and dry. I wish to come back again to see the sunny side of Cradle Mountain!
Thanks so much for the lovely review! Thanks for joining Tours Tasmania for our Cradle Mountain tour. The wombats at Cradle Mountain are a great distraction when the rain rolls in. Hope to have you back for a sunny day soon!
Very intuitive and lots to see on the way. It was raining while we were there but still a great experience. We were lucky to have seen a wombat and wallaby and bird life when rain stopped.
Tour guide was fantastic, plenty of knowledge and expertise made it an unforgettable experience. Great amount of choice and difficulty with what hikes to go for, couldn’t recommend it enough.
Thank you so much! Cradle Mountain really does deliver on every level and having the time and flexibility to choose your own hike on the day makes it that little bit more special. We'll pass your kind words on to the guide. Hope to see you back in Tassie soon!
Cradle Mountain was beautiful and we had a lovely day for travel; however, I was not impressed with the tour overall. We have been on at least 10 other Viator tours (mainly Europe) that we have rated well. We chose Viator for their reputation and our past positive experiences with them. However, this day was not ideal. The tour bus was old, small, and not comfortable. The tour guide did not fully engage the tour participants and his driving was we thought, at times, a little risky. It was clear, though, that he did have quite a bit of local knowledge to share. So, some positives and some negatives hence my three-star rating.
This was Great tour. It was an easy way to experience Cradle mountain that leaves you wanting for more. Elaine, our tour guide was very helpful throughout the entire day and was patient with the group. We had 2 choices for the hike. Depending on fitness level, it is possible to do both but with very little stopping or resting. You might want to check with your guide first. Elaine helped us make the decision on what hikes to do. We even stopped to see some wombats. The tour promptly started at 7:30am and ended at 5:30pm. Everything was on schedule. The weather was also very good so that plays a factor in enjoying the views at the park. The experience was worth it.
Thank you for the lovely review. We’re so glad you enjoyed exploring Cradle Mountain and felt supported by Elaine throughout the day. Offering flexible hike options, keeping to schedule and spotting wildlife like wombats are all part of the experience we aim to deliver. We appreciate you choosing Tours Tasmania.

This tour to Cradle mountain felt completely surreal from start to finish. The landscapes were breathtaking, with misty rain-washed scenery that made everything feel almost otherworldly. Walking among the huge, ancient trees was a highlight - the forest felt timeless and alive. The sound of mighty waterfalls added so much atmosphere and the steady rain just made it more powerful. Seeing the vast, quiet lake wrapped in clouds was just magical. Unfortunately due to the rain the visibility was limited but itinerary is flexible here so we went for alternative routes instead. This made the experience feel safe and well organised and I really appreciate the effort of making this trip a truly enjoyable and unique adventure. I definitely want to return to this place one day and explore more tracks and trails. Overall it's a must-have trip if you go to Tasmania. This Cradle Mountain tour was absolutely surreal, from beginning to end. The scenery was breathtaking: the foggy, rain-washed landscapes created a sense of something almost unreal and fabulous. Walking among the huge ancient trees was one of the most striking moments - the forest seemed eternal and alive. The powerful noise of the waterfalls filled everything with an atmosphere of force, and the incessant rain only reinforced that impression. The view of the vast, quiet lake shrouded in clouds was truly magical. Unfortunately, the rain reduced visibility, but the programme proved flexible and we followed alternative routes. This made the trip safe and well organized, and I truly appreciate the efforts of our guide, which made this tour a truly enjoyable and unique adventure. All in all it is a must-have trip if you go to Tasmania. I definitely want to come back here one more time to explore more trails and routes.

The short walk were great to see wild life didn't do the 6 klm walk as it was to wet saw some wombat on the short walk
Hi Leanne, Thank you for joining our Cradle Mountain Adventure Active Day Tour. We are glad you enjoyed the shorter walk and the chance to see wildlife along the track. The longer walk can be tricky in wet weather, so it is great you still had a memorable time in the park. Warm regards from The Tours Tasmania Team.
Wonderful tour guide, who was easygoing and helpful . Immersed in nature with the snowcap mountains and glistening Lake
