I rode the bus to the top and after some discussions with the driver he let me off part way down, beautiful walk and then I caught the next bus home Great trip

It's probably the best way to get all the way up top if you don't drive or rent a car. 30 minutes up top is not a lot of time so you won't get to do any bushwalking/washing tracks. We decided not to do the hop on and off option because the in between service wait time is quite long. Overall recommended if you hadn't checked out my Wellington.

Excellent tour with Tony. Beautiful scenery, chilled tour no need to rush plenty of time to see all the sites.

We had a great time. No responsibility of driving up a precarious mountain because David our very skilled driver took care of this for us. David was not only a safe driver, he was entertaining, informative and very knowledgable of the local area. He also gave us some great suggestions on where to eat, which we followed up on and we were not disappointed.

Our tour of Mount Wellington was perfect. We had enough time to explore the area and enjoy the breathtaking views. Our guide Mike was excellent and knowledgeable as well.

I booked this tour before I knew the weather forecast so was a bit hesitant when it showed clouds. It didn't matter though because even in the mist, the view was incredible! It even snowed a little which was exciting to me. It is cold and windy so layer up! I wish I could remember our drivers name as he was informative and gave great tips on local spots. This tour was probably the best way to get up the mountain as you've got someone else driving you up all those tight, winding roads! The view getting up there and back was also stunning.
