It was a lovely day out. Greg was very helpful telling me where to get off as I wanted to hike up the mountain. I hiked up from The Springs (2 hours) then got the bus back down. Beautiful view, worth the money for the shuttle bus. They go up in all weather conditions

Great day overall. We got off the bus at The Springs and did a 5km loop before hopping back on the bus to go to the top. Views were amazing, it was a bit cold at the top with the wind so layers are a must. Tony was a a great guide who was very informative!
