I had booked both bus trips that morning through the inn I was staying at but my name wasn't on the list for the Mt.Wellington trip. I was able to get on after a bit of shuffling to see if there would be a spot for me which I was grateful for. The bus driver (I think it was Greg) was very informative & helpful. Even though the view was sometimes foggy/cloudy he tried his best to keep us entertained & finding the best viewing spots. I would highly recommend this trip.

My grandson and I had a lovely trip up to Mt Wellington with our driver Paul. Paul was very personable and knowledgeable. We also enjoyed our Red bus tour with the second Paul. Well worth the adventure. Booking our tickets on Head out was extremely easy and efficient.

The driver , Paul, was knowledgeable, funny, easy going and accomodating. The route was planned out well, some delays at stops and lack of information by some drivers, but otherwise pleasant.
