We do get snow on some days throughout winter which can lead to road closures on kunanyi/Mt Wellington. Every morning through winter the Hobart City Council inspect the roads for snow and ice and may close the roads until it has been cleared and is safe to drive on, they are however very efficient at clearing the roads and often have them open by mid-morning or early afternoon, allowing us to take passengers to the top to enjoy some snow play.

We also offer a customer satisfaction guarantee whereby if you travel with us and we cannot get you to kunanyi/Mt Wellington Summit on your tour, you can travel with us again for free on an alternate day within seven days of the original booking date provided weather conditions improve and roads reopen.
