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 tripJust finished a fabulous tour of kunanyi/Mt. Wellington. Great tour guide with Christian. Very informative and fun. Highly recommended to everyone.

Absolutely stunning views at the top and obviously the easier job of riding our hire bikes down rather than up was a perfect way to enjoy the afternoon.

Booked the Kunanyi/Mt Wellington Explorer Bus which took us to the pinnacle. Our driver was very lovely and very knowledgeable - he gave us a good running commentary on the way up. Once at the top we were provided with a walking trail map and bus timetable for our walk down the mountain. You also have the option of hopping off the bus at lower points and hiking up the mountain and if you change your mind and don’t want to do a walk you have the option of taking the bus back into the city. Definitely we’ll worth it. Thank you Kunanyi/Mt Wellington Explorer.Just arriving to Hobart we wanted to do something a bit disappointed different.

Just arriving to Hobart we wanted to do something a bit disappointed different. So we hired some bikes and found this awesome offer of being taken up to the top of Mt Wellington to then cycle all the way down back into Hobart (18km approx). Our driver up took us to an amazing lookout and was very knowledgeable of the area. He also had a great sense of humour! Would do again!Dave was very informative and helpful with bushwalking tips. Got a clear day, views fantastic. Would recommend.
