Interesting ride to Mount Wellington

Published on Feb, 2025

Of course, you can't choose the weather and Mount Wellington is statistically in the clouds most of the time. But the bus ride up Mount Wellington is very entertaining, especially because of the driver. They explain the history of Tasmania and the infrastructure that was mostly built by British prisoners. They also stop for exciting encounters on the open road. We saw a Black Tiger Snake and an Echidna - very exciting.

A must do!

Instructive tour with amazing panoramic view. The bus driver (Paul) was not only well prepared, but also very kind, very generous in sharing his knowledge and advices. Zig-zag track steep but absolutely fabulous!

Don’t miss it

Best $30 we ever spent in Hobart. We went one way and walked back which was another amazing experience thanks to Craig (the funny driver) who’s a comedian thankfully not the standing type. Super informative and friendly. Amazing views.

Wonderful
