Planning your Overland Track walk

Getting the most out of your stay in Tasmania before and after your walk requires a little extra planning, and we’re here to help! Arriving in Launceston, but want to return to Hobart at the end of your walk? No problems! We will even transfer any bags stored with us so they’re ready for you at Cynthia Bay, before transferring to Hobart.

BEFORE YOU BOOK

Bookings essential

*All transfers operate on demand with a minimum requirement of 4 fares. To guarantee departure for 3 people or less an agreement to pay the additional fare(s) is required. Refer to Terms & Conditions for more information.

Advertised times are based on our experience of the walks and the nearest campsites.  Please contact us if you require a different time or destination.

Don’t have a booking? If you have not pre-booked but wish to use a service on the day (if there’s one available/leaving at the trailhead) you will be charged an additional administration fee of $50 inc. GST per person.

  • Weather

    Some destinations in Tasmania, especially exposed areas, can be very cold and windy, and you need to consider possible weather conditions when selecting your tour destination. Call us if in doubt.

    Insurance

    We highly recommend travel insurance to cover any unexpected delays, lost luggage, interruptions or medical treatments.

    Unforeseen Delays

    We recognise that bushwalkers may experience unforeseen delays on the track and may not arrive at their end point by the prearranged time.

    If there are delays, this is our standard operating procedure:

    We will:

    1. Arrive at the agreed pickup point at the agreed time (subject to any unforeseen delays we might also encounter enroute, for example, roadworks, accidents, etc);

    2. Wait a further hour for the bushwalkers if they are not at the pickup point before returning to Hobart/Launceston without them;

    3. Leave a message at the Walkers’ Registration Point advising of our expected return time the next day;

    4. Return the following day as soon as possible after fulfilling prior booking commitments – this return trip will be invoiced at 75% of the normal fare based on the minimum fare requirements of the relevant transfer service.

    5. Contact emergency services on the bushwalkers’ behalf if the bushwalkers have still failed to arrive at the pickup point and there is no apparent reason for their delay. Before departure bushwalkers should provide us with a Trip Intention Form to assist emergency services.
