Informative & Fun! - Caught the Explorer to the top of Kunanyi with some informative and fun commentary from our driver Tony on the way. Hiked down from the summit to Fern Tree Park, and easily picked up the Explorer again to take us the rest of the way down, highly recommend!

Beautiful & breathtaking mountain views - Fantastic journey to the most beautiful view. Crisp cool fresh mountain air, and white frost to add to the blue hues. Informative friendly driver, and a really comfy ride to the top. Only wish we could have had more than 30 minutes at the top - but we did get lucky as the road was closed to all traffic except the bus due to ice and snow incoming - so that meant just a small bus load of us there - very special

Informative and Friendly Tour Guide - We joined the bus tour on 30 May. Our driver, Christian (if I remember his name correctly), shared interesting information about the history of Hobart and Mount Wellington. We were lucky to have a clear view from the summit and really enjoyed the tour with Christian. Thank you for the great experience!

Incredible views and a short trip. - Great trip to Mt Wellington. Tony our driver was great and friendly. This is an absolute value for money for less than 3-hour trip. Would recommend.

Great experience and better than driving to the summit to enjoy the views. - Better than driving up to Mount Wellington! The experienced drive made the journey very enjoyable. The scenery and view of Hobart on the journey spectacular. Once at the summit we enjoyed the misty experience and then the clouds shifted and we had a brilliant view of Hobart. A very worthwhile trip at a reasonable price.

Amazing views, fabulous guide Tony! - I had wanted to walk one of the many trails, but the weather was not cooperating. Took the bus, and glad I did. Tony was a fabulous guide, and I learnt so much more about the history of Hobart and Mt Wellington on the way up. Charming stops on the way up, many IG worthy spots. It was a very foggy day, but I would still recommend it for the sheer surrealism of Kunanyi pinnacle covered in a thick white blanket teasing the mind with glimpses of what lies just “there”. Absolutely mind-blowing. Tony’s commentary and tongue-in-cheek humour is an absolute plus, and he’s happy to share other hidden treasures of this amazing island he calls home. Would recommend 10/10! My photos don’t do justice to the beauty of it all.

Wonderful ride up and back! - Perfect ride, amazing scenery and Tony’s “dad jokes” were on point! Great morning to the top of the mountain if you want to go up! Very informative about the history of Hobart too!
