Interesting ride to Mount Wellington - 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.

All in all - good! - It was a very nice experience. Of course also because of the nice weather! The bus driver was friendly and funny and told a lot of stories about the mountain and the area. But I wish those guides would consider more, that not every guest is native English speaking! So slow down the talking, and don’t expect everyone to understand jokes. The bus was on time, but they didn’t provide me with a map in the bus, as promised in the confirming mail. The route downwards to Fern Tree was easy to find, though!

just a bus ride up the mountain , but the mountain top itself was great - we went when Hobart below was shrouded in clouds, but the top of the mountain was all sunny and we were above the clouds, so that was a very nice view, like from an airplane. The ride up was just a ride. The driver was describing and talking, but between the bus/road noise and the driver accent, I heard maybe 25% of his talk, so that part of the tour was not very good.
