Things to do in Mount Wellington

The scenery on the mountain is fantastic, and there are two stops along the way for you to take a few photos. However, you only get half an hour at the summit, though you can choose to take a later train, which gives you about an hour and a half there. Overall, it is definitely worth participating in.

This tour offers a lot of content, visiting four attractions in one day. While the time spent at each attraction isn't extensive, it's sufficient. That's how it goes when you visit multiple spots in a single day; it eliminates the hassle of inconvenient transportation and the need to plan your own itinerary. Plus, the price is reasonable, making it highly recommended for those with limited time! I particularly enjoyed visiting a part of the national forest; it truly felt like being deep in the woods. Feeding kangaroos at Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary was also a lot of fun. Richmond Historic Town and Mount Wellington offer a simple experience and a great photo opportunity.

A very well organized tour. Got to see a lot of Hobart and surrounding areas. Rob was a wonderful and knowledgeable tour guide, just enough information without being overwhelming and an excellent driver !

Everything is perfect. This is my very first time traveling to Tasmania and joining this open trip was fun, I really enjoy it. The tour guide is very humble and informative and the service is great. I highly recommend this trip

The itinerary was well-paced and not too rushed, perfect for a relaxing day. When we arrived at Market Square, it wasn't a Saturday, so there was no market. Our guide, Xiao Ming, recommended the fish and chips at Mures Lower Deck, but I personally found them to be just average. Those who are interested can give it a try.

This was a hiking tour, which we already knew about. Hiking in the Rainforest felt incredibly beautiful and comfortable. The guide was very knowledgeable about the trees and animals in the forest, introducing us to many unique plants and their history. We were very satisfied. I must also mention Mount Wellington; it's truly a magical place. The temperature suddenly dropped 10 degrees, and it was incredibly windy, but the scenery was still beautiful and well worth visiting.

I actually booked the tour because of the aurora offer in the description. Unfortunately, until the end of the tour, the metric for aurora sighting was poor and we ended up not going for the sighting at all. Despite that unlucky part, this tour gives amazing experience for travelers who plan to visit Tasmania for the first time. We don’t speak Chinese at all, but tour guides always give English explanation in addition to pre-recorded English audio guide of each destination. If you are hunting for aurora sighting, make sure you’ve checked the possibility of seeing the aurora Australis before booking. Otherwise, just enjoy the beauty of Tasmania as covered by this tour.

Overall, if you prefer not to drive yourself or are concerned about fatigue from self-driving, this three-day itinerary is highly recommended. From airport transfers to the specific activities in between, transportation is provided throughout the entire trip. We were picked up directly from our hotel each day, which saved us a lot of hassle with coordinating transportation. The hotel arranged was a 4-star in the city center, which was standard but excellent due to its convenient location for getting around. Although the guides rotated over the three days, each guide was responsible, and their commentary and insights along the way were very thorough. Additionally, the aurora borealis experience included in the itinerary was a free bonus. Before departing, we asked customer service and were informed that it would only be arranged if the aurora index reached 5 that night, so seeing it was not guaranteed. We went into it with no expectations. Fortunately, the index reached 5 during our visit. Although it wasn't very clear due to weather and other factors, we still considered it a successful aurora chase. For travelers who are unable to drive for various reasons, choosing this tour is a great option.
