5.00The trip up to Mt Wellington was skilfully navigated by our driver and guide, Mark. His local knowledge was extensive and despite a very misty, foggy morning interrupting our view, we really enjoyed it. The mist brought its very own special charm to the experience. Thank you Mark for a very enjoyable morning. We would recommend this tour.
Bus Tour, not a Mountain Tour!

Save yourself the headache, rent a car, do your own drive.

5.00The view is worth the trip Go by bus not car, very narrow and windy road. Should not be allowed up to Mt Wellington when extremely windy. All buses should have first aid kits on board bus.
Must do!!!
