Christian our driver made the experience to Mt Wellington amazing, with his local knowledge, helpful and strong communication. He was very accommodating to those with a disability and we felt very safe with his driving. The bus was really comfortable and was great to have wifi and charging points.

I had booked both bus trips that morning through the inn I was staying at but my name wasn't on the list for the Mt.Wellington trip. I was able to get on after a bit of shuffling to see if there would be a spot for me which I was grateful for. The bus driver (I think it was Greg) was very informative & helpful. Even though the view was sometimes foggy/cloudy he tried his best to keep us entertained & finding the best viewing spots. I would highly recommend this trip.

Get the best of both worlds with this value-packed, budget-friendly combo! Explore Hobart at your own pace with a 48-hour hop-on hop-off tour, and elevate your adventure by catching jaw-dropping summit views on a 1-day kunanyi/Mt Wellington Explorer Pass.
