Itinerary
Witness amazing views of Hobart and surrounds from the summit. On our descent from the mountain enjoy a short easy walk around the amazing Exhibition Gardens at the midway point "The Springs." There's also time to purchase a hot drink.
View the exterior of Australia's most significant historical sites for women. The Female Factory was the female equivalent to Port Arthur and was used to hold both women and children throughout the 1820's. It was a terrible place with only the most basic of facilities. Some ruins of the original building and walls still exist. Your driver guide will provide a brief history of this fascinating place.
Join our escorted short tour of the Observatory on the summit of Mt Wellington and a self-guided tour to the Western Wilderness Lookout to view one of the last true wilderness areas on the planet!
Visit one of the City's classic gardens, The Cascade Gardens which lies against the Hobart Rivulet near the historic Cascade Brewery.

Mt Wellington with Grayline
Sean our tour guide was lovely and very accommodating. Weather was unfortunately overcast but was a nice tour. Would recommend.
Good afternoons tour
Sadly it was too cloudy to see the view from the summit after a wet morning but Sean our guide did his upmost to find an interesting tour . He was very thoughtful , punctual and a careful driver . We saw a platypus cavorting in the wild and he offered to drop us wherever we wanted back in the city . Thanks
Visiting Mt Wellington in Hobart
Great tour up the mountain. Spectacular views & excellent tour guide/driver in Phil. Just the right amount of time & no excessive walking.
Awesome trip
Alan was an amazing driver and tour guide, took great care driving up Mt Wellington. Would recommend him and Grayline tours highly.
Windy
I had the chance to have a private tour as was the only one who booked the tour that day! What a view! Didn’t expect it to be that windy!!
