Perfect half day tour - An excellent and interesting tour. The small group made it more enjoyable and flexible to tailor to the group’s preferences. The guide was knowledgeable and informative.

Snow in summer - We had a great morning travelling with Baz, our tour guide and driver. Baz was very informative. We couldn't believe our luck to see snow in November in Australia.

The trip up to Mt... - The trip up to Mt Wellington was skilfully navigated by our driver and guide, Mark. His local knowledge was extensive and despite a very misty, foggy morning interrupting our view, we really enjoyed it. The mist brought its very own special charm to the experience. Thank you Mark for a very enjoyable morning. We would recommend this tour.

Great trip. Beautiful views. Very scary in extreme winds - The view is worth the trip Go by bus not car, very narrow and windy road. Should not be allowed up to Mt Wellington when extremely windy. All buses should have first aid kits on board bus.

Ok tour - No matter what the ticket says they do not pick you up at the hotel. The tour operator does not use WhatsApp to communicate. You must have access to ypur email to get updates. Communication is very limited with this tour operator, not what im used from a viator operator.

Bus Tour, not a Mountain Tour! - It was advertised as a ‘visit Mt Wellington’ tour, but turned into drive around on a bus tour. Of the total time on this excursion (9:15-11am), we had approximately 40 mins where we weren’t on the bus. For $60/each, it’s an expensive car hire! Save yourself the headache, rent a car, do your own drive.
