Our guide David was an outstanding bus driver. He was very friendly and professional and our safety was his number one priority. His prediction of the weather was spot on. I would highly recommend this tour.

We were in Hobart without a vehicle and this was the perfect way to see Mount Wellington. Our driver was informative and friendly and the bus was comfortable. Views from Mount Wellington are definitely worth seeing and be sure to take your camera. Would definitely recommend.
Great time visiting Kunanyi!

We really enjoyed the experience. The guide was informative and gave helpful advice on how to explore the trails independently, including tips on when and how to catch the next shuttle to match our hiking schedule. We did end up taking a slightly denser trail than the easy one we had planned — but that was entirely on us! :)
Friendly driver/guide....

Friendly driver/guide. Good price for the tour. A nice short trip from city. Should go on a sunny day to see whole city from the summit.
