This was a 3 hour drive from Launceston,leaving our hotel by 815am, and worth every minute.Through the rolling countryside of Tasmania, laregly deserted except for intensive farming, the arrival at Cradle mountain by 1130 or so was really well timed. We had options of going around the lake, an hours walk, or to Glacier rock, which was 15 mins, or... More

My partner and I went canyoning in early March 2012, and it was absolutely fantastic!! The guides were great, and even though I'm a little scared of heights I found the whole experince to be a lot of fun. The water temp is pretty cool, but the wetsuits keep you nice and dry. There's a bit of a walk to... More

No matter what your age and no mater what your hiking experience this is the place for you. We were so fortunate to visit during warmer days and clear blue skies so our experience may be a little biased. We did easy walks, hard walks and then a blood hard walk to the crater and then down from the crate... More

The team of experienced guides provide an excellent exPerience with amazing scenery, activities and facts about the area. To be able to jump off waterfalls and race down naturals slides to get the blood pumping is nicely balanced by the realizing floating down the creek in between. Take good walking shoes and a sense of adventure!

My first time ever canyoning. Took the Dove Canyon tour and had an absolute blast. Six waterfalls, each to be tackled in a different, fun and challenging way (though safe too!). The tour guides were superb. Can hardly wait for the next tour to come out.
