5.0I 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.

5.0The 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.
