At Overland Track Shuttle, we specialise in organising group transport across the state, helping schools and outdoor education providers simplify the logistics of accessing one of Australia's most iconic multi-day walks.
About our Overland Track Transport
As locals with years of experience in the industry, we understand the logistics involved in transporting hiking groups to remote locations across Tasmania. From coordinating student and staff transfers to accommodating trekking equipment, we’ll work closely with your school to arrange transport that suits your itinerary, group size and budget.
Our experienced team can organise your group's journey from anywhere in Tasmania to the Overland Track, including direct transport to Cradle Mountain and collection from Lake St Clair. Let us take care of the transport logistics so you can spend more time preparing students for what is sure to be an unforgettable outdoor education experience.

Additional Information
If your school is travelling from interstate or overseas, Overland Track Shuttle can help coordinate airport transfers and accommodation pick-ups to make the journey logistically easy.
As thanks for travelling with eGuide, eligible Overland Track walkers also receive a complimentary 230-gram hiking gas canister. This helps to reduce the number of supplies your school needs to source after arriving in Tasmania.
If you make a return transport booking with us, we can provide luggage storage for non-hiking bags while your group completes the Overland Track. This is convenient if you and your students are travelling around Tasmania before or after your trek and carrying spare clothing/equipment.
