Maria Island National Park

Can I bring luggage on board the tour day? Please only bring hand luggage/day pack on tour, otherwise we won't all fit! We do not travel with luggage onboard the day tour vehicles. We expect that each traveler will have a day pack only to store your daily essentials such as drinks, snacks, warm jacket etc. while on tour for the day. No other luggage is able to be carried on our day tours. If you are moving hotels or have onwards travels you will need to ensure this is stored for the day at your hotel/accommodation prior to boarding the tour bus. If you attend a tour with luggage without consultation with our Reservations Team prior to travel, you may be refused entry to the tour vehicle. Please contact our team in advance of your tour to discuss options.

We anticipate you will have 1 x small piece of luggage or backpack to store for the day, + you will have your hand luggage/day pack for the tour day. If you have more than this, please contact our team to check whether this can be accommodated.

Airport Drop Off? We do not offer airport drop off on our tour days. Most tours arrive back to Hobart / Launceston around 5.30 – 6.00pm, returning to the same location as your pick up. If you have an onward flight that evening, we would recommend ensuring it leaves 8.00pm onwards.

Is food and drink included in the tour? We do not supply lunch, snacks or beverages on our tours but we do stop along the way for you to purchase food to suit your budget and taste. This is usually a Bakery style stop in a regional town along the way to the main destination for the day. You will then be able to enjoy a lunch break during the tour day, usually somewhere scenic and suitable for a rest stop. You are also welcome of course to bring along your own packed lunch to enjoy on the day. If you have special dietary requirements it may be better to bring your own prepared lunch /snacks. Please bring a large water bottle for the day.
