About this tour
Combine two essential Hobart circuits: ride to kunanyi/Mt Wellington's 1270-metre summit for panoramic views across the city and coastline, with 30 minutes to explore on foot, then return to the city for 48 hours of flexible sightseeing aboard open-top double-deckers. The all-day mountain pass lets you hop off at bushwalking trailheads, while the city loop covers 20 stops at your own pace. Includes maps, onboard WiFi, and a sightseeing guide.

What to expect
Your first stop is the Explorer Bus heading uphill through eucalypt forest to the mountain summit. Weather shifts noticeably as you climb; bring a light layer. The half-hour at the top gives you time to walk the lookout platforms and snap photos, or tackle a longer trail if you're keen. Back in the city, the Red Decker's open-top buses show you waterfront precincts, heritage districts, and gardens. Jump off wherever interests you—the theatre district, MONA area, or Battery Point's colonial cottages—then catch the next bus through. The 48-hour ticket means you can split your exploring across two days.
Good to know
Mountain weather changes rapidly; layer up. The explorer pass works all day if you want multiple visits. City buses run frequent loops, so you're never stuck waiting long. Food isn't included, so grab supplies in town. Wheelchair accessible throughout. Prams and service animals welcome.
