We offer our customers a courtesy pick-up & drop off service from selected inner city accommodations (excludes Neighbours Tour & Phillip Island Afternoon Tour).

Please confirm your allocated hotel / hostel pick up time when making your booking. Please wait outside your organised meeting point 5 minutes prior to pick-up time.

Please note pick-up times may vary slightly depending on traffic. Unfortunately, we sometimes experience delays during our pickup run due to Melbourne’s increasing traffic congestion.

Kindly send a request to info@bunyiptours.com and provide the age of your child along with your confirmation number and booking details.

All travelling persons must book and have their own seat allocated for use.

Any party arriving with undisclosed infants or children will be required to pay our child’s fare prior to board the touring vehicle. If there are no seats available for any undisclosed guests to occupy, the entire travelling party may be denied the opportunity to travel and will forfeit their fares.

Please note that if you are travelling with children on one of our multi-day tours you will need to choose the private room option as dorm style accommodation cannot be offered as it is not suitable.

Portable cots can be provided on request for infants but must be arranged prior to the date of departure directly with Bunyip Tours. Parents must provide bedding (i.e. blankets, sheets).

Please advise us of any specific dietary requirements you may have at time of booking.
