The additional fares will be refunded if other passengers book the same transfer. Failure to reach the minimum of 4 fares 10 days before a trip will result in a full refund being offered and the service canceled if you’re unwilling to pay the additional fares for the service to operate.

We recognise that bushwalkers may experience unforeseen delays on the track and may not arrive at their end point by the prearranged time.
If there are delays, this is our standard operating procedure:
We will:
Arrive at the agreed pickup point at the agreed time (subject to any unforeseen delays we might also encounter enroute, for example, roadworks, accidents, etc);
Wait a further hour for the bushwalkers if they are not at the pickup point before returning to Hobart/Launceston without them;
Leave a message at the Walkers’ Registration Point advising of our expected return time the next day;
Return the following day as soon as possible after fulfilling prior booking commitments – this return trip will be invoiced at 75% of the normal fare based on the minimum fare requirements of the relevant transfer service.
Contact emergency services on the bushwalkers’ behalf if the bushwalkers have still failed to arrive at the pickup point and there is no apparent reason for their delay. Before departure bushwalkers should provide us with a Trip Intention Form to assist emergency services.

We can provide secure storage of bags for Tasmanian Wilderness Experience clients whilst you enjoy your walk in the wilderness. Prices start from $20 for the duration of your walk. Please see our Bag Storage Policy here.
