A very enjoyable trip. A bus ride to the top, and then a walk down the mountain. The cloud was low when we got to the top, but it cleared and the views were spectacular on a beautiful day. The main Zig Zag Track was closed for repairs, but I came down the South Wellington Track which then joins other tracks. At The Springs there was a choice of routes down.

Easy to follow meeting spot, great commentary, informative guide on several options available. It leaves from the centre of Hobart and then a few stops along the way to point out different attractions on the journey up. Very flexible to jump on different buses with different options too after booking

The bus driver, Tony, was a hoot! Got us to the top very safely, gave fabulous information about the locations, and was super friendly. Bus was very clean. I would recommend this tour.

We had a group of 8 who took the bus to the top of Mt Wellington to hike back down. The ride up was fantastic - our driver was great fun and very informative and we got to see an amazing part of the world. I highly recommend the trip.
