THE SERVICE

A shuttle built for hikers

A scheduled shuttle that delivers hikers to trailheads and collects them at set points, removing the need to shuttle cars and letting you pace a day or a multi-day walk on your own terms.

THE FLEXIBILITY

Use it for short hops or the full trail

Book the shuttle for a single-stage start and finish, or combine zone tickets (Northern and Southern) to move between Halls Gap and Dunkeld for end-to-end itineraries.

THE ENDGAME

Leave your car at the finish

The service is designed so you can park at your intended finish, hike at leisure, and have the shuttle take you back to your car at the end of the day.

What the day feels like

What the trip feels like

Boarding the GPT Express is a practical, low-stress way to start a hike: the shuttle moves people from the southern end to the northern trailheads so walkers can proceed southbound without a car shuttle. It short-circuits logistics and leaves time and energy for the walk itself, whether you’re tackling a single stage or linking zones for a longer journey.
