Mount Wellington is a must see whilst in Hobart. Our bus was clean, comfortable and our driver was professional, informative and a very good driver which made us feel safe.

I used the bus as a hop on and off service. Took it to the summit and hiked down myself. Caught a returning bus at Fern glade. Wasn’t worried about not having a service back as there are many other buses (just need to check the timetable). My guide/driver Ed, was very knowledgeable; he gave commentary on the way up, provided a map of Kunanyi and gave recommendations on which hikes were good. Other guests just used it as advertised, a 2.5h return trip.

My driver Greg organised everything well. The peak view was beautiful - the planned stop of 40 minutes is a bit short, but there is an option to transfer to the next bus. The tour was finished on time with plenty of good pictures.

The most convenient and efficient way to go to Mount Wellington for an individual. The driver was kind, funny and shared a lot of interesting information about the city, and the mountain. I looooved it.

Wonderful trip up the mountain with occasional clearings through the cloud cover and fog for grand views of Hobart and beyond.
