Great trip to the top of mount Wellington.

Loved this trip to mount Wellington. Our guide Paul was excellent very knowledgeable and also told us a few “dad jokes”. The weather at the top was cold and windy but exhilarating. I would definitely recommend this one if you are visiting Hobart.

Magnificent views

Really enjoyed this trip. We were fortunate with clear and bright weather, but the Guide, Paul, was excellent with good advice and clear details about the environment, history and details about Kunanyi. It's a quick 2.5 hour tour, so excellent if you have limited time, but it can also facilitate some lovely hikes around the mountain of you have more time. Thoroughly recommend.

Great Tour

Tony was a great Tour Host. Wealth of knowledge. Even liked his ‘Dad’ jokes. Highly recommend! Unfortunately our view was not the best due to cloud cover. But we enjoyed it nonetheless. The waterfalls on the way up the mountain were amazing.

Tour up, ride down

Our guide/driver was the full of life Paul. He made the loading and unloading of my bike easy. He has an absolute wealth of knowledge of all things Hobart and mt Wellington. His stories were engaging, and I thoroughly enjoyed the trip up to the top. I rode back down to the Brooke St pier, easily and with comfort. Riding your bike gives you even more opportunities to see what Paul had been describing. Would do this tour again in a heartbeat.
