About this tour
Combine two of Hobart's essential bus routes into one ticket: ascend kunanyi/Mt Wellington to 1270 metres for sweeping views across the city and coastline, with 30 minutes to explore the summit and optional bushwalks, then spend 48 hours hopping between 20 stops on the open-top city loop. The mountain pass works all day, giving you flexibility to return as many times as you like.

- Open-top double-decker views of Hobart's waterfront and architecture
- 48-hour city loop ticket—stay onboard or hop-off at 20 stops
- All-day mountain pass validity; return whenever you wish
- WiFi onboard; air-conditioned downstairs seating
What to expect
The mountain leg takes roughly two hours return. You'll climb steadily through Wellington Park, then have half an hour at the summit to absorb views, snap photos, or tackle one of several walking trails (maps provided). Back in the city, the double-decker loop runs 90 minutes if you stay seated, but most travellers break it up—hopping off at the waterfront precinct, MONA, Salamanca Place, or neighbourhoods worth exploring on foot. Summer can be windy at the peak; layer up. The city loop works best across two separate days to avoid fatigue.
Good to know
All-day mountain pass means you can ride up multiple times without extra cost. The 48-hour city ticket begins when you first scan it, not when purchased. Food and entry fees (museums, attractions) aren't included. Prams and service animals are welcome. Suitable for most fitness levels, though the summit involves walking on uneven ground.
