There are no shops on Maria, and limited drinking water, so make sure you bring enough water and food for your day out.  There will be a brief stop on the way to the Ferry for some last minute food purchases - sandwiches/rolls etc.  And there is normally a chance to buy some takeaway food on the return trip back to Hobart.
