Cancelled without an explanation or alternatives - not good enough
I was on a Virgin Voyages cruise and only had a single day to explore forest areas and take photos. I booked this photography workshop - Mt Field and Styx Valley and was super excited. A day or so later, I received a message advising that while the date showed the workshop was available, that it was cancelled - without any explanation as to why - unavailable date, error on calendar, etc. I was more than disappointed - poor/ bad/ no real communication. Was it because there was a minimum number required? I booked a single ticket. Was that why it couldn't go ahead? I would have happily paid for a second ticket if minimum was 2 people. Other tours only go to Mt Field where there is a Tall Tree walk but noone else offers Styx. I am an avid travel and astro photographer and was looking forward to a professional workshop and private tour. I instead went on a Gray Line tour to Mt Field and luckily they did Russell Falls and Tall Tree Walk, so I did get to experience the World Heritage listed Wilderness. Would appreciate better comms and feedback or alternatives instead of just being ' rejected'.

Great experience
Excellent day! Luke gave us a lot more than what we expected. The Tall Tree Trail was marvelous and Luke taught us to enjoy the walk looking for details. The waterfall was beautiful Thank you Luke for a great day and wonderful experience.

Awesome Day Out With One Of Tazzy's Best Photographers.
I booked this photography day with Luke and I have to say it was one of the most fun, inspirational and educational days I have had, the sort of day that you totally lose track of time with. Luke is a down to earth, easy going bloke that has the patients and time to teach you all you need to take yourself a great photo of the beautiful locations on this tour. This is worth booking and I will have absolutely no hesitation to book another tour with him. Do yourself a favour, if you what an excellent day out with great company and learn about your camera then Luke your man. Not only that - you get to see a magical part of Tasmania.

Mt Field and Styx Valley Photography Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hobart.
How much does Mt Field and Styx Valley Photography Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $222 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hobart usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Mt Field and Styx Valley Photography Tour take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hobart is not rushed.
Is Mt Field and Styx Valley Photography Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hobart, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Mt Field and Styx Valley Photography Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Mt Field and Styx Valley Photography Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Mt Field and Styx Valley Photography Tour?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hobart can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hobart and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mt Field and Styx Valley Photography Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hobart within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hobart?
+
On Outty we rank every Hobart experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include kunanyi/Mt Wellington Explorer Bus- Return Tour (2.5 hours), Full-Day Guided Bruny Island Tour from Hobart, Day Tour in Mt. Field, Mt. Wellington, Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary and Richmond. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hobart?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hobart?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Mt Field and Styx Valley Photography Tour?
+
Included: Minimum 2 guests (can be booked as a private tour by booking 2 places); National Park fees; Lunch; Professional photographer guide; and Transport by private vehicle. Not included: Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Mt Field and Styx Valley Photography Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Hobart. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time.
What languages is Mt Field and Styx Valley Photography Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Mt Field and Styx Valley Photography Tour?
+
