Set off for an exhilarating coach ride to the summit of Mount Wellington. As your knowledgeable guide commentates live, you'll pass the historic Anglesea Barracks, Australia's oldest Army facility, before ascending through diverse ecosystems. From temperate rainforests to sub-alpine flora, every turn reveals a new facet of this mountain's unique ecology. At The Springs, halfway up, treat yourself to a hot beverage (subject to availability) as you take a breather and soak in the rich beauty around you.
Ascending further, be ready to marvel at the Organ Pipes, a natural rock formation named for its uncanny resemblance to a cathedral's organ. The summit itself, a rugged rocky alpine landscape, offers panoramic views of Hobart and the Derwent River. Here, join an exclusive tour of the Observatory, immersing yourself in an environment that feels otherworldly. The descent introduces Cascade Gardens, a beautiful spot that hides a historical secret – it used to house the Cascades Female Factory, a former female prison. Catch a glimpse of the Cascade Brewery, Hobart's iconic Gothic building, before your tour concludes. This unique blend of natural beauty and historical intrigue makes this tour unmissable.
