Discover Mt Wellington’s Natural Wonders
Your day begins with comfortable coach transport as you set out for the summit of Mt Wellington, a site renowned for its breathtaking scenery. Let your expert guide share stories about the mountain’s formation dating back to the Permian, Triassic and Jurassic ages, and explain the unique flora and geological features found en route. As you ascend, enjoy ever-changing views: from lush foothills through subalpine flora to rocky alpine landscapes at the summit. Multiple viewpoints and a guided walk at the summit observatory offer unmatched panoramas over Hobart, the sparkling Derwent River and beyond.
Stand at the Pinnacle

Your guide will explain how climatic and environmental factors shape life on Mt Wellington and highlight the fascinating variety of plant and animal species adapted to the alpine world. Capture photographs from observation decks and seek out signs of the mountain’s far-reaching history in the exposed rock faces.
Scenic Transfer to MONA
