Please call us on  (03) 5257 4588 to let us know and we will do our best to make sure you don’t miss the bus. However, like a train or plane, we do have a timetable and other passengers to consider. Refunds will not be given if you miss the bus.

Our tours operate in all kinds of weather – rain, hail, or shine! We may slightly adjust the itinerary if necessary, to keep you dry or warm but you won’t miss out on anything.

We don’t have toilets on the bus, but don’t worry we make plenty of comfort stops during the day.

You may bring a small bag to place on your lap, under your seat or in the overhead compartment. We do not have luggage storage for larger bags.

Our tours are run in 21 seat Minibuses which are, unfortunately, not usually wheelchair accessible. In some cases exceptions can be made so it is best to contact us and enquire about the tour you want to do including the date you would like to do it.

Yes, we are more than happy to accommodate children, however, some restrictions may apply.   Children are welcome on all day tours and we recommend that people travelling with children consider whether the itinerary is suitable, in particular the activities involved and the duration of the tour to ensure the comfort of small children. For all tour types children under 18 years of age must be accompanied by an adult. We offer children’s rates for 0 – 15 years, and they are entitled to travel at the child rate (some restrictions apply).

Booster seats can be provided, however these must be pre-booked at least 72 hours prior to the tour departure date.  No prams are permitted inside the vehicle as we don’t have storage space.
