Mona with Mt Wellington and Ferry Return

On a clear day the views from Mt Wellington are stunning. In the winter perhaps you will be playing in the snow - but whatever the weather, take the opportunity to visit iconic Mt Wellington (the traditional indigenous name in Palawa Kani language is 'kunanyi') On this fully escorted tour we pass through various eco systems and experience the harsh alpine environment of the mountain. As we ascend, view the massive rock formation of the Organ Pipes. The summit of Mt Wellington offers a panoramic spectacle of Hobart City, surrounding suburbs and the vast waterways of the Derwent River. Join the escorted tour of the Observatory and enjoy the Exhibition Gardens walk at the Springs and a self guided walk at the Western Wilderness lookout. After our descent from the mountain we have a brief visit to the Cascade Gardens and view the exterior the Female Factory for an insight into the lives of the women convicts once imprisoned there. Experience the heavenly and the controversial as you explore ancient, modern, contemporary art and thought provoking exhibits. You can explore at your own pace with complimentary use of 'The O' - a handheld touch screen device which assists your learning of the exhibits. After a sensory overload, you can explore the beautiful surrounds of the Museum, and enjoy a snack or a beverage at the Museum Cafe of Wine Bar before your return cruise home.
