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.
