kunanyi/Mt Wellington Explorer Bus- Return Tour (2.5 hours)

About this tour

Ride the official shuttle up kunanyi/Mount Wellington to 1270 metres, where views stretch across Hobart and southern Tasmania. This 2.5-hour return trip from Hobart's waterfront gives you 30 minutes at the summit's lookouts and shelter. Grab an all-day pass to hop off at five Wellington Park stops and walk alpine tracks at your own pace, catching a later bus back down. The shuttle runs year-round—it's the only operator with access when snow closes Pinnacle Road.

Highlights

• Summit views over Hobart and southern Tasmania
• Five alpine walking track access points via hop-on hop-off
• All-day bus pass lets you explore at your own pace
• Operates when snow closes the main road
• Local guide commentary and walking map included
• Mountain bikes and wheelchairs both welcome

What to expect

You'll board from Hobart waterfront and climb steadily to the peak. At the top, you get breathing room—30 minutes to soak in the panorama from the observation shelter and lookout points. If you want to walk, hop off at any of the five stops on Wellington Park and tackle the alpine tracks. The all-day pass means you're not rushed; catch any later bus to head back down. Conditions vary wildly up there, so dress in layers and check the weather beforehand.
