Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

After literally dozens of trips to Cradle Mt and many hikes on pretty much every track in the National Park, this was one experience that I'd never had. So I decided to treat my Mum to an early Mother's Day present and do the 20 minute flight. Our pilot Nick was great. He was flexible with the take off time, to allow some cloud to lift and give us a better view. He took us over Barn Bluff and Fury Gorge and then around Waterfall Valley. I've done that trip the hard way - on foot - so it was amazing to do it in minutes and the see the same area from above. The fagus was out and in full display, which looked great from the air. Mum was a bit nervous about flying in a chopper, but Nick put her at east and the whole flight was smooth and stable, so we could relax and enjoy the views. I'd recommend this experience to anyone, especially those who are less able to see the Park on foot. It sure beats slogging through the mud with a pack on. Thanks Nick.

We were only in Cradle Mountain for a one night stop over and couldn’t leave without seeing the mountains.
Heard a chopper flying and immediately decided to take a flight. Our pilot was great and took us on an amazing flight around Dove Lake, Cradle Mountain and surrounding lakes and tracks. We feel we did 3 days of hiking in 20ish minutes without getting cold, wet or mud on our boots. Highly recommend a helicopter ride in Cradle Mountain and it would be a great addition even if you have walked the tracks to get the birds eye view of your journey.
Another fantastic Tasmanian experience.

Such an amazing experience and highly recommend this adventure! The views are incredible, all over Cradle and beautiful view of Dove Lake. The pilot was great and chatted through the headset giving really good information on the region. Blown away and I’m scared of heights but that didn’t last long.

We only did the 10 minute Dove Lake flight but the views were amazing! Time flies when you are in it but well worth it if you can afford the price. Friendly pilot with good service. Only disappointing thing was he said he would go around Dove Lake so we could see from both sides but he ended up doing only one side. Please check the weather before deciding on the day as sunny days give you the perfect view!

We booked a custom scenic flight (approx. 45 minutes) and having kept an eye on the weather forecast, and as we knew it could be changeable in the Cradle area we stopped by their office near the Cradle Mountain Visitor Centre on our arrival to check on the forecast for the following day (date booked). After a chat with the lovely Rebecca and checking with the pilot, we decided to move our flight forward to that afternoon to avoid a potential cancellation due to poor weather the next day. Sure enough, it was the right decision as the next day started out with very low cloud and drizzle, which didn't clear up until later in the afternoon.
We received a safety briefing before take off. Our flight took us over some of the most stunning and unspoiled scenery in Tasmania, and the far-reaching views were amazing. Our pilot (Josh IIRC) provided excellent commentary along the way.
Cradle Mountain Helicopters offer a variety of flights and while our custom flight was a real treat, their regular flights (we've taken one before) are a fantastic way to see the beauty of Cradle Mountain National Park from above.

Hi Sabine,
We are so glad you enjoyed your custom flight. The Walls of Jerusalem NP is definitely a spectacular view from above, and we are so happy that we were able to fit you in on that afternoon to avoid cancellation!
Thank you for leaving such a lovely review,
Warm regards,
Bec

A fabulous experence and one that I would recommend to everyone. Our pilot was great and took us on an amazing flight around Dove Lake, Cradle Mountain and surrounding lakes and tracks. The 20 minute flight took us over Waterfall Valley & down towards Mt Pellion, then around the back of Cradle Mountain & Barn Bluff. Visibility was excellent. A beautiful clear day and amazing scenery.

We opted for the 1 hour flight as a bucket list item for my brother - there were 4 of us and we had booked in for a Wednesday morning flight. We received a call on Tuesday morning to ask if we wanted to consider having our flight Tuesday pm as the weather forecast for Wednesday wasn't good. That suited us and we appreciated the good customer service to be given the option. The flight with the commentary was worth every cent. The distance we covered and what we saw was absolutely brilliant.

What an amazing experience. My husband surprised me with the flight. We were blessed with perfect weather and the mountain had a recent dump of snow so an added bonus of experiencing cradle mountain covered in snow. Our pilot Charlie was brilliant. A fantastic flight. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

Flights start for the two of you at $270 total and move
Up from there if you have a friend bring them along as this reduces the cost. Give the office a call to discuss options if you prefer
Written 3 March 2017
We have loads of options and times to pick from, we run standard office hours of 9am to 5 pm, we are happy to fly outside of these times by prior appointment. Our pricing starts from $112 per person if there was the 4 adults. I would suggest that if all 4 of you are happy that you look at our longer trips, all of our flights are listed on our web page with costings, alternatively you can simply charter us and tell us what your budget is and we will design a flight specifically for you. If you have any questions at all please let us know or call the office and have a chat.

Yes you can providing that the total weights are within the machine limits. It would be best to chat with our pilots if you have any specific questions. We look forward to taking you up in the skies!
