Miena Guiding Tasmania runs a guided walk from Cascade Gardens in South Hobart to the summit of Kunanyi / Mt Wellington, following the route Charles Darwin climbed in 1836. It takes in alpine landscapes and sweeping views over the city, and suits clients wanting a full day in Tasmanian nature without leaving Hobart. The climb is demanding, with steep sections, but experienced guides support the group, with opt out points along the way.
