- Josh5 contributionsFriendly, helpful and reliableExcellent service. Very easy to organise transport to and from the Overland Track via email. Coaches were both ready to leave on time and drivers were especially helpful with last minute advice and offers to stop for supplies or toilet breaks. Thanks to David and his team, will absolutely use next time.Visited December 2022Travelled with friendsWritten 12 December 2022
- Anna1 contributionThe man, the myth, the legendDavid (or to us, Dave) was an absolute legend. He made our journey from Launceston to Cradle Mountain incredibly enjoyable. Played great tunes, kept spirits high. I hope this guy gets employee of the month every month. Given Dave picked us up before the sun had even risen, he was able to bring energy into the mini bus that made us all look forward to the trip ahead of us. He got us to Cradle Mountain with plenty of time so we didn’t feel rushed upon arrival at the visitor centre. He stopped in a small town for us to get coffee too, what a great guy. Wonderful man, wonderful company. Terry drove us back, incredibly efficient and made great jokes. Even thought we were asleep half the time (so tired after doing the overland track) we could feel the beauty of tassie as he zoomed through it. 10/10 recommend this company. P.S have added a selfie we took with Dave, we miss himVisited December 2022Travelled with friendsWritten 20 December 2022
- RipleyGMacquarie Park, Australia119 contributionsFriendly and reliable transport for 3 Capes and Cradle Mountain hikesThis was the second time, in twelve months, we have used Cradle Mountain coaches for transport for our hikes. The first was from Launceston to Cradle mountain and Lake St Clair back to Hobart, with our bags being stored and transferred for us as well. The drivers were friendly and knowledgeable about the area and the vans are comfy with room for all the backpacks. Pat was our driver on the Hobart leg and I was happy to see him again on our latest trip to the Three Capes Walk. He was early, as usual, and as helpful as I had remembered. We stopped for coffee in Dunally and then Pat suggested a lookout and a stop at the tessalated pavement before another stop to stash our supplies at Stewart’s bay lodge. He then picked us up here six days later and again, suggested scenic and interesting stops before our return to Hobart. So, it’s not just transport but you get a mini tour as well, making it good value if you have a few people. Highly recommend Pat and this company for the little touches that make you feel looked after,Visited December 2022Travelled as a coupleWritten 27 December 2022

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.

Travelled with Cradle Mountain Coaches twice now and nothing but positive feedback! Not only are the team super accommodating - both prior to the booking when flights cancelled/ changed, but also when we boarded the shuttle the drivers were more than happy to accommodate stop-offs/ changes as requested!
Cannot recommend this company highly enough when arranging transport/ transfers for your Overland Track adventure!

We used Cradle Mountain Coaches to get from Launceston to our accommodation near Cradle Mountain. The service was fantastic. Our driver was more than accommodating and offered to take us to the local shops or stop off for lunch or a toilet break on the way. He also provided jetboil gas to some of the hikers we picked up from the airport, which I thought was a great idea. 10/10 recommend.

Great service! Highly accommodating, booking was a breeze with very prompt communication around pricing and other information. Considering they transport dirty, smelling hikers all the time, their vehicles were immaculately clean! Excellent drivers too. 10/10 would recommend.

You can’t beat this transport for service! It took me a while to find a service that transport during winter. These guys do for a better price than hiring your own car and driving in snow and ice. We had Terry going to Cradle Mountain and David coming back to Launceston. Both guys were highly knowledgeable about the area and gave us some awesome commentary and conversation on the 2 hour trip. They were also amazing drivers, we felt safe the entire time. The bus was nice and tidy. The trip was great. Totally recommend this service!

Cradle mountain coaches brought us exceptionally great experience in supporting our overland hiking trip. Very flexible and approachable. They would like to pick us and drop off separate group at different location, help to amend our trip at last minute. Defo will find them for our next trip. Much appreciate to Cassie, Jorja in booking and David for the lift.

Very happy with our shuttle service from LSC to Cradle Mountain. Driver was on time and more than happy to allow us to stop for lunch on the way. Can't fault any of the process
