OUR JOURNEY
In mid 2018, we were successfully awarded the tender to supply a year-round shuttle bus service for kunanyi/Mt Wellington. Later in October 2018, we commenced our 2.5 Hour Return Tour. In June 2019, we began operating our exclusive City to Snow Tour beyond the locked gates on Pinnacle Road.
kunanyi/Mt Wellington Explorer Bus is proudly Tasmanian owned and operated. With over 20 years of tourism industry experience as transport operators and small business owners. We certainly have a solid foundation in Hobart. It’s our mission to provide an exceptional shuttle bus service and share our local knowledge with our passengers.
We’re a small, experienced and dedicated team. Our drivers have been specifically trained to drive to the conditions on Pinnacle Road. In addition, they’ve undertaken interstate training on the Victorian snowfields. This special training consisted of emergency management, risk assessment and environmental management. We have no doubt that they’ve got the right training and experience required. Our drivers also share an informative commentary about Hobart’s beloved kunanyi/Mt Wellington.
