Our guide to Mt...
Our guide to Mt Wellington was quite the fun yapper, sharing abit of information on Hobart's history. Was a super windy day up there, definitely a memorable experience
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for joining our Mt Wellington tour and for sharing your experience. We hope to welcome you back for more Tasmanian exploring soon.

"Magic" Crade mountain.
Our driver was very good in that his commentary was both informative and entertaining. We had enough stops for comfort breaks and to buy food and each chosen spot provided quality food (especially the "dairy " - best ice cream I've ever tasted). Cradle Mountain was spectacular and we even got a fine, clear day and we were able to see the whole mountain which, apparently doesn't always happen. All in all, a bloody good day.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the fantastic review. We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the commentary, the well‑timed stops, and of course that amazing ice cream. Getting a clear view of Cradle Mountain is a real treat, so we’re glad the weather delivered. Sounds like a truly great day out.

Exceptional tour and guide!
A thoroughly enjoyable and informative tour! What an amazing view of greater Hobart and the Derwent River system from atop Mt Wellington. A once in a life time experience was had seeing a platypus swimming in the waterway adjacent Cascade Brewery on the return leg. The 2nd half of the tour was visiting MONA. An unforgettable and unique contemporary art setting and experience - escapism at its best! Thank you to our talented tour guide who was super interesting and knowledgeable.
Response from the operator: Thank you for such a vibrant and thoughtful review. It’s wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed the day . We’re delighted that our wonderful guide’s knowledge and engaging style helped bring each part of the tour to life.

Just ok
Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate. Very windy, cold and no view. Driver’s microphone didn’t work half the time and couldn’t hear what he was saying. He took us to other spots with a view.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re proud to operate the only fully escorted and guided tour from Hobart to Mt Wellington on a regular schedule, and we appreciate your feedback. Mt Wellington’s weather is famously unpredictable—it can be calm and pleasant in the city yet very different at the summit due to the elevation and surrounding environment. This ever-changing climate is part of the excitement and uniqueness of the tour, though we understand it can sometimes limit the views. We sincerely apologise for the issue with the driver’s microphone system. Commentary is a key and important element of the experience, and we will follow this up urgently to ensure it does not affect future tours. We’re glad the driver was able to take you to other scenic spots, and we hope you’ll join us again to experience Mt Wellington in clearer conditions.

Beautiful Mount Wellington
Mount Wellington is always a great - although I was completely amazed how cold & windy it was for late November! We had clear skies, My only advice? Rug up, as you never know up there. Hands & face felt icy cold. 💗
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience at Mount Wellington! The clear skies are always a treat, but you’re right—the weather can be surprisingly cold and windy even in late November. Great advice to rug up, and we’re glad you enjoyed our tour

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
kunanyi/Mt Wellington Tour and MONA Admission: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hobart.
How much does kunanyi/Mt Wellington Tour and MONA Admission cost?
+
Prices start at $112 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hobart usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does kunanyi/Mt Wellington Tour and MONA Admission take?
+
Plan for about 7.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hobart is not rushed.
Is kunanyi/Mt Wellington Tour and MONA Admission worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 73 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hobart, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule kunanyi/Mt Wellington Tour and MONA Admission?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is kunanyi/Mt Wellington Tour and MONA Admission suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book kunanyi/Mt Wellington Tour and MONA Admission?
+
Around 26 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hobart can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hobart and add a light layer if any part of the 7.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does kunanyi/Mt Wellington Tour and MONA Admission start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hobart within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hobart?
+
On Outty we rank every Hobart experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include kunanyi/Mt Wellington Explorer Bus- Return Tour (2.5 hours), Full-Day Guided Bruny Island Tour from Hobart, All Inclusive Bruny Island Day Tour Plus Guided Lighthouse Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hobart?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hobart?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
