Where does the tour start — do I need to get to a central meeting point?

No. The tour includes hotel pickup from your Hobart accommodation between 08:15 and 09:00. You'll be collected at your door.

Is morning tea really included, or do I need to pay separately?

Morning tea at the Salmon Ponds is genuinely complimentary and included in the tour price — nothing extra to pay.

Is this tour suitable for young children?

Yes. Children aged three and under travel free of charge. The Russell Falls walk is a well-maintained national park trail, though check with your guide on the day for any terrain considerations.

What should I wear for the Russell Falls walk?

Wear comfortable, closed-toe walking shoes. Mount Field National Park can be cooler and wetter than Hobart, so bring a light waterproof layer regardless of the season.

How long is the full day — when will I be back at my hotel?

The tour returns to Hobart hotels by approximately 16:00, making it a roughly seven-hour day from departure.

Do I need to print my ticket?

A mobile confirmation is sufficient — simply have your booking reference ready when your guide collects you.
