Our Royal Caribbean Cruise stopped at Burnie. We wanted to visit cradle mountain but the tours available from the cruise line seemed expensive for the six of us, so we decided to do our own thing. At the visitor’s centre in Burnie we met Howard of Cradle Coast Tours . He provided an excellent tour of the Burnie area ending up at the stunning cradle mountain. He also went above and beyond the call of duty in returning my husband’s back pack (which we left in Howard’s mini bus). We did not have time to get it before our ship sailed. As Howard expected to be in the south of the island the next day he took our bag to the Hobart visitor centre for us to pick up when our ship docked there. Great tour – excellent value for money.
