Definitely worth it - Was cloudy but we were up above it - like being on a plane. Some decent views from below the cloud. Was a bit confused as we thought that the tour included the female factory but entry was not included. So we paid to go in - that was worthwhile too.

Foggy but still neat to see - Unfortunately it was quite foggy the morning we booked but it was still really neat. Quite cold up on top so dress warmly. I would still go despite the weather.

Mt Wellington trip - The bus driver - Evan - was very attentive & informative. He was very conscientious to ensure all passengers were on the bus before we left Mt Wellingron as the weather had turned nasty, to the extent he got off the bus & got soaked looking for the last passenger to discover he was on the bus all the time, but did not respond when his name was called out.....

Perfect half day tour - An excellent and interesting tour. The small group made it more enjoyable and flexible to tailor to the group’s preferences. The guide was knowledgeable and informative.

Snow in summer - We had a great morning travelling with Baz, our tour guide and driver. Baz was very informative. We couldn't believe our luck to see snow in November in Australia.

The trip up to Mt... - The 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.

Ok tour - No matter what the ticket says they do not pick you up at the hotel. The tour operator does not use WhatsApp to communicate. You must have access to ypur email to get updates. Communication is very limited with this tour operator, not what im used from a viator operator.

Bus Tour, not a Mountain Tour! - It was advertised as a ‘visit Mt Wellington’ tour, but turned into drive around on a bus tour. Of the total time on this excursion (9:15-11am), we had approximately 40 mins where we weren’t on the bus. For $60/each, it’s an expensive car hire! Save yourself the headache, rent a car, do your own drive.
