5.00Was cloudy but we were up above it - like being on a plane. Some decent views from below the cloud. Was a bit confused as we thought that the tour included the female factory but entry was not included. So we paid to go in - that was worthwhile too.
Foggy but still neat to see

5.00Unfortunately it was quite foggy the morning we booked but it was still really neat. Quite cold up on top so dress warmly. I would still go despite the weather.

5.00The bus driver - Evan - was very attentive & informative. He was very conscientious to ensure all passengers were on the bus before we left Mt Wellingron as the weather had turned nasty, to the extent he got off the bus & got soaked looking for the last passenger to discover he was on the bus all the time, but did not respond when his name was called out.....
Ok tour

3.00No matter what the ticket says they do not pick you up at the hotel. The tour operator does not use WhatsApp to communicate. You must have access to ypur email to get updates. Communication is very limited with this tour operator, not what im used from a viator operator.
Perfect half day tour
