Fabulous walk back down using footpaths as directed by bus driver. Very varied. Could be tough if you find uneven surfaces difficult.

We loved it! Beautiful views from the top, very scenic ride up, and very friendly and knowledgeable driver. Great way to explore the mountain, taking a bus up and hiking down. Many well marked trails, with cool cafes along the way. If in Hobart and like hiking, definitely do it!

Of course, you can't choose the weather and Mount Wellington is statistically in the clouds most of the time. But the bus ride up Mount Wellington is very entertaining, especially because of the driver. They explain the history of Tasmania and the infrastructure that was mostly built by British prisoners. They also stop for exciting encounters on the open road. We saw a Black Tiger Snake and an Echidna - very exciting.

It was a very nice experience. Of course also because of the nice weather! The bus driver was friendly and funny and told a lot of stories about the mountain and the area. But I wish those guides would consider more, that not every guest is native English speaking! So slow down the talking, and don’t expect everyone to understand jokes. The bus was on time, but they didn’t provide me with a map in the bus, as promised in the confirming mail. The route downwards to Fern Tree was easy to find, though!

Instructive tour with amazing panoramic view. The bus driver (Paul) was not only well prepared, but also very kind, very generous in sharing his knowledge and advices. Zig-zag track steep but absolutely fabulous!

Best $30 we ever spent in Hobart. We went one way and walked back which was another amazing experience thanks to Craig (the funny driver) who’s a comedian thankfully not the standing type. Super informative and friendly. Amazing views.

we went when Hobart below was shrouded in clouds, but the top of the mountain was all sunny and we were above the clouds, so that was a very nice view, like from an airplane. The ride up was just a ride. The driver was describing and talking, but between the bus/road noise and the driver accent, I heard maybe 25% of his talk, so that part of the tour was not very good.
