For the 2025/26 season, we are offering some amazing Early Birdie Deals including discounts on group bus tickets for our Lake St Clair to Launceston 2:00pm service. This offer is valid for bookings made before the 31st August 2025 for travel between 1st October 2025 and 30th April 2026.

Discounted Group Bus Tickets
For groups of 4 or more, we have reduced our bus ticket prices for early bookings, these prices are automatically discounted when booking. The Early Birdie group ticket discounts are for bookings made for 4 or more people in one booking, one payment and one drop-off location.

Overland Track Transport is the sole licensed regular passenger service (RPS) provider from Lake St Clair and our bus departs Lake St Clair at 2:00pm. Our Regular Passenger Service also allows us to provide “Jump On” tickets for anyone who hasn’t previously booked a ticket. This service meets everyone walking around Lake St Clair from either Narcissus Hut or Echo Point or catching the ferry including up to the 1:00pm crossing. Our services are always guaranteed with no minimum numbers required.

Finish the Overland Track a day earlier or later than booked? As the (RPS) licence holder at Lake St Clair, our services run everyday (excluding Christmas Day) so simply give us a call to confirm availability or see our driver at Lake St Clair Visitor Centre at 1:45pm each day to ask if we have availability for you. We offer FREE date change for your ticket so long as we have availability.

Our service offers  FREE luggage storage and collection at Lake St Clair on the day we pick you up (for passengers also travelling from Launceston to Cradle Mountain with us)

Both Launceston CBD and airport drop-offs available.  We travel via the Launceston Airport (drop offs at 4:45pm so if you wish to book a flight out of Launceston on that day, all flights from 6:00pm onward allow you enough time to arrive and check-in). We then travel into Launceston where we will drop you off to your central CBD accommodation from 5:00pm.

With Airbnb accommodation we will of course do our best to drop you off at your accommodation but if there is not a safe drop-off zone for our bus and trailer, we will need to drop you to the closest safe location. If you are unsure if your accommodation is within the CBD drop-off zone, please feel free to email us to confirm. 

Do you have a group booking of 4 or more passengers?  Simply select the number of passengers in your booking  and your group discount will be applied for parties of 4 or more. Discounts apply for groups of 4 or more with one booking, one payment being made for the group and one drop off location in Launceston. If you have more than 13 in your group, please contact us here.

We make our way back to Launceston via the Great Lake (Tasmania’s trout fishing heartland) where we can stop for a brief toilet break and something to eat at the Arthur Lake Road House, before winding our way down the Great Western Tiers at Poatina (one of only 2 hills in Tasmania that meets the European cycling classification of what a hill should be).

Are you planning on catching the ferry across Lake St Clair at the end of your adventure? If you do prefer to catch the ferry, we recommend booking early to avoid disappointment.  Please book directly at Lake St Clair Ferry or on (03) 6289 1137

Are you planning walking around Lake St Clair at the end of your adventure? If you do prefer to walk around Lake St Clair, we recommend staying at Echo Point or Narcissus Hut on your last night to allow enough time to meet our 2:00pm departure. 


This service operates from the 6th October to the 30th April excluding Christmas Day. 
Limited services during October and May.

Sunday and Public Holiday surcharge of 10% applies to all tickets.

We look forward to having you on board – Sean and Andrew, owners of Overland Track Transport
