This trip was a great one... - This trip was a great one day experience. Our driver and guide David was friendly, knowledgeable and very professional. I felt very looked after and safe the whole trip. The scenery is spectacular but just a word of warning - it was extremely cold. Like below 0 and the weather can be brutal. So even though it's a day tour, take waterproof clothing (a jacket - at least), scarves, beanies, gloves - the whole bit. The weather can turn on a dime and an umbrella just won't cut it up there. You need to be rugged up and waterproof.

Road Closed - When we were picked up we were advised that snow was expected at Cradle Mountain and a chance the last section of road would be closed preventing seeing the mountain. We were offered a full refund but everyone decided to take the trip. David the driver was very informative along the route withe several stops along the way. As we approached the visitor centre we could see the snow falling and unfortunately the road was closed. despite this we enjoyed the walks around the area and the indoor centre and warmed up in the bar over 3 hours . The views along the way made the 10 hour day worth it.

Full on fabulous day! - Four of us travelling together thoroughly enjoyed this experience. It’s a great day trip anyway but was made even better by our driver Macca who made sure we all got the most out it by keeping us safe, informed and entertained.

Very professional service - We were transported to Cradle Mountain where we stayed a couple of days. We had a great experience with McDermott's transport both ways. Both drivers were very professional and friendly. We would certainly recommend their service

Great day trip with good guide - Excellent local guide with amazing knowledge of the area and history, He was passionate about his topic and guided us throughout the journey, with amazing facts and a good sense of humor. We got to experience local history and amazing views, with clear skys over cradle mountain and learn the amazing history behind it becoming a heritage park and experience the story of those early pioneers. Highly recommend the trip.

Beautiful Day Out - David the guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour was a bit of everything and a great day out. Thoroughly enjoyed the stop in Sheffield where you could get out and find the murals around town. Inside the national park there was time for two short walks with cradle mountain in the background. Really enjoyed the visit to Weindorfer chalet and hearing about its history. The forest walk around the chalet was the most beautiful forest I have ever seen. Saw a few wombats about grazing. Quick trip to cheese factory was a nice way to finish. Thoroughly recommend this tour.
