Mount Wellington Tour from Hobart

Hobart, Australia

Crowned by alpine vegetation, dusted by snow in winter, Mt. Wellington enables you to glimpse the unfolding panorama of river, fields and the aquatic setting of Hobart town.

On a clear day from the summit, there are spectacular views over the City of Hobart, down to the D'Entrecasteaux Channel and Bruny Island, as you take in the views you will understand why this imposing mountain is close to the heart of the people of Hobart.

Highlights:

• St David's Park
• Battery Point - charming houses, boutique shops and pubs
• Arthur's Circus
• Anglesea Barracks - Australia's oldest Army facility
• South Hobart - fine examples of early Hobart homes
• Cascade Valley - home of Cascade Brewery and Gardens
• Pretty mountain town of Ferntree
• Pass through various eco systems as you ascend the mountain
• Massive rock formation of the Organ Pipes
• Mt. Wellington Summit - a harsh rocky alpine environment affording unsurpassed views on a clear day
• Witness the panoramic spectacle of Hobart, its surrounding suburbs, towns and vast waterways
• Visit remains of the Female Factory - a one time female prison
• Macquarie Street

Shame about the weather but the trip was great and Ian our driver was excellent.

This tour could be coupled with that of a visit to Botanic Gardens or elsewhere to offer a better package deal. As it is, there is not much value for the fare paid, which is why this tour is not very popular judging from the number of passengers on board.

Our tour guide was great and very informative however the day we went on our tour it was -5 with 90km winds and heavy rain. Could not see a thing. Dissapointed.

MUST DO 100%. The drive is beautiful, and the view is unforgettable. One of the things you must do in Tasmania. Pricey, but worth it!

The views from Mount Wellington were absolutely stunning. A must do for anyone visiting Hobart. Make sure you come prepared for the weather though, because it's very cold and windy up on the summit.

Lovely trip up with good commentary, but a shame the mist was down a little.

I was lucky with the weather, it was a beautiful clear morning and I could see forever. It felt like being on top of the world.

I was disappointed that we were not told that it would probably be cloudy early in the day and that it was not offered later in the afternoon.

It snowed the day we were there, so it was a bit cold. We did not get a great view from Mount Wellington, but we had a great time throwing snowballs. I would do this again in clearer weather.
