Great experiance with Explorer Bus up- and for a walk down-hill. - The best choice to visit MT. Wellington. I booked a one way ticket to take my way back for a bush walk. The bus driver in his function as guide explained a lot about Hobart and Tasmania in general during the bus drive upwards and recommended the best and viewful tracks downhill. For me, the price ist absolutely ok for the transportation and guide.

Best outing in Hobart yet! - If there were only more stars to give!. Well worth the trip up. Our driver/guide Christian was the epitome of guides. He was friendly, professional, amusing and well versed in the history of the mountain. While sharing that history, he also shared personal stories of his own which made us feel more like friends than guests. Now for the mountain.....take a jacket, take gloves, beanies, enclosed shoes, whatever you can do to protect yourself from the almost Arctic conditions 😂. Put this on your list if you come to Hobart, you won't regret it.

One way bus - Fabulous walk back down using footpaths as directed by bus driver. Very varied. Could be tough if you find uneven surfaces difficult.

Great views, scenic ride, and very friendly and knowledgeable staff - We loved it! Beautiful views from the top, very scenic ride up, and very friendly and knowledgeable driver. Great way to explore the mountain, taking a bus up and hiking down. Many well marked trails, with cool cafes along the way. If in Hobart and like hiking, definitely do it!
