From Hobart: Mount Wellington Pinnacle 2 Hour Small Group Tour
Show 1 more
Experience the breathtaking views and natural beauty of Mount Wellington on this small-group guided tour from Hobart. Departing from the Tasmanian Travel and Information Centre, you’ll take a scenic drive through the city’s historic streets and southern suburbs before ascending through towering eucalyptus forests to the alpine heights of Kunanyi/Mount Wellington.
Pass the historic Cascade Brewery, built in 1824, and the charming township of Fern Tree, known for its cool-climate gardens and lush forest setting. Along the way, your expert local guide, David, shares stories of the mountain’s geology, flora and fauna, and its deep connection to Tasmania’s natural and cultural heritage.
As you rise above the treeline, enjoy spectacular views of Hobart and the Derwent Valley before reaching the summit — the 1,270-metre Pinnacle. Here, you’ll have 30 minutes of free time to explore the viewing platforms, take in panoramic vistas across southern Tasmania, and experience the unique alpine environment.
The journey back to Hobart follows the same scenic route, offering more opportunities for photos and commentary from your guide. This two-hour adventure is the perfect way to witness Tasmania’s capital from above and connect with one of its most iconic landscapes.
