the bus driver (apologies I don't recall his name) went above and beyond, his knowledge and commentary along the way was most informative. He also gave me a map with suggested trails to follow back down the mountain, one of the most beautiful walks I have ever done. thank you

Hassle Free Journey

CourtenayZajicek, Jan 2024

Easy to follow meeting spot, great commentary, informative guide on several options available. It leaves from the centre of Hobart and then a few stops along the way to point out different attractions on the journey up. Very flexible to jump on different buses with different options too after booking

Got to do it!

Sam_Q, Mar 2021

Just took a ride up to the top Of the mountain. All good and Christian, our driver/guide, was terrific and very helpful in giving us a map and suggested route for our bush walk back to town (via the Cascade brewery).

Great views, great day

Meredith_K, Feb 2021

We had David as our driver, he was friendly and informative. 30min to walk around the top to take photos was enough in windy conditions. We were going to take the Zigzag track back down to Fern Tree but David recommend starting from The Chalet which half the bus need up doing. It was an easy walk and beautiful scenery. From there we hopped back on the bus and came back to Hobart. Definitely recommend doing this trip

Response from Host, Mar 2021

I will pass your compliments onto David. We hope you visit Hobart again soon. Many thanks. Kind regards. Fiona G. kunanyi/ Mt Wellington Explorer Bus.
