Beware - Do not trust the description of the tour - Simply stated, the tour is not the one advertised. While it says the tour last approximately 8 hours, which is accurate, it does not state that you will spend around 2 hours wasting time on frankly useless activities. We got picked at 9am at a meeting point located 5 minutes from our hotel. While the distance was short,it was not a hotel pickup as advertised. It was not a problem for us but could be for someone with mobility issues. Driver and tour guide welcomed us. He was a positive point throughout the tour. We drove 45 minutes and had our first (unadvertised) stop in a rather destitute suburban town to have “cake and coffee” in a cafe located between a community kitchen, a laundromat and a liquidation shop. We spent 25 minutes in this wonderful place. Then we headed to the salmon pond where we sampled a complimentary maple syrup pancake (the other choice was a cinnamon pancake) and a banana milkshake. We then witnessed feeding of ducks, trouts and salmon for about 30 minutes. We then left for Mt Field where we arrived at 12:15. As a reminder, the description of the tour stated that we would spend 2.5 hours walking in the National park and 30 minutes at the visitor center. In total, we spent 2 hours at Mt Field (and not 3 hours as advertised). The first 50 minutes were spent hiking in beautiful forest paths that are well worth the detour. For the remaining 1 hour 10 minutes, we were left on our own at the visitor center that is comprised of a small shop, a rather expensive restaurant and a few toilets. We would have like more time hiking and less time in the visitor center. We left at 2:15 pm. We then headed to Bonarong Park. The description of the tour stated we would stay 1 hour 10 minutes. We arrived at Bonarong Park at 3:20 pm and were immediately told we needed to leave at 4:15. The park is an amazing place, especially with young children. It is well worth to go, and every minute there is therefore so precious. It was such a huge disappointment to learn that we would spent there 15 minutes less than advertised. In the end, we were able to get an additional 5 minutes to visit the shop and left at 4:20. Still, we did not have time to see everything. We then came back at hotel and were left in front of it at 5 pm sharp. In light of the foregoing, it is hard not to label the tour as false / inaccurate advertisement. We certainly felt deceived. The tour is also way overpriced. I used other tour companies in Hobart which were far from cheap and the value was always there. This is not the case with this tour. My advice - do yourself a favour and avoid this tour at all cost.
