Wonderful Day in Northern Tasmania - We were collected by Howard and Juliet from our Hotel for a personalised tour of some special canyons and caves of Northern Tasmania. One of the best experiences ever and made all the better and special by their wonderful company, commentary and professionalism. A day of impressive sites, exploring and interesting conversation we will never forget. We were totally spoilt and had a truly memorable day! Doesn't get any better.

A Fantastic day out with Howard to Cradle Mountain! - Everything about this tour was great! Howard from Cradle Coast Tours is an exceptional tour guide, easy to talk to and bursting with local knowledge. We were initially going to drive ourselves, but it was great not having to worry about anything and learning so much about Tasmania. Howard is a real gem. He accommodated our requests to spend more time at Cradle Mountain to complete the Dove Lake circuit and visit Christmas Hills Raspberry Farm and Van Diemens Creamery. Howard also added in various interesting stops along the way which we would have never known about if driving ourselves. We would definitely recommend this tour - going to Cradle Mountain was always going to be a special day but Howard made it remarkable. Thanks again for a great day out!

Amazing views, howard was knowledgeable, fun and friendly, wish we had one more trip with him! - We booked a tour with Howard to see Cradle Mountain and go on the Dove Lake Circuit. He picked us in a comfortable 8 – seater van. Heading out from Launceston we stopped to see Cataract Gorge on the way out and made stops at Deloraine and Westbury and got see a lot of wildlife including a lovely flock of ducks on the way. Unfortunately for us the weather was really bad, with plenty of showers, however Howard still managed to keep us from getting wet by providing us with Umbrellas and planning accordingly such that we got to go on the Dove Lake walk and Enchanted Walk, both of which were spectacular despite the bad weather. After being out in the cold Howard arranged some Hot Chips at the Peppers Lodge at Cradle Mountain we head back to Launceston. We were all pretty exhausted and Howard provided us with some pillows for a comfortable journey back. What we enjoyed the most was how knowledgeable Howard was, having learnt so much about the History of the many places we visited and in general fun facts about random things, we recommend Howard & Cradle Coast Tours to anyone who’s looking for a fun and adventure packed tour in Launceston.

Small private tour to Cradle Mountain, Cheese Farm and Honey Farm - Howard was an amazing tour guide, it was just the two of us touring around. He is very knowledgeable and kind, we had many interesting conversations along the way and he kept the entire atmosphere lively and engaging. Thank you for giving me such an amazing experience :)

Great personalised Tour - Had a great day with Howard, showed us some local places and fun facts. If you like a small personalized tour they are the ones. We booked for Cradle mountain but as there was a snow blizzard, rather than just cancelling the day Howard called us and provided us some options and we are glad we did get to see so many wonderful places in Launceston.

Very informative & relaxing tour - My wife, daughter & I enjoyed our tour very much as Howard shared plenty of information about the places we visited. Unlike big group tours, we never felt we were in a rush as Howard was very flexible with our tour schedule. There was never a dull moment as Howard took the time to engage with each one of us and learn about our interests. It was a long ride going to and from Cradle Mountain but Howard navigated the ride carefully and we felt very safe with him all throughout our trip!
