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.
