Based in Apollo Bay, we provide flexible, pre-booked transport for walkers and campers on the Great Ocean Walk. Whether you need a lift to the start of your walk, a transfer between sections, or a pickup at the end, we’re locals who know the track and can get you where you need to go.
Please email rather than call — we’re often out driving on the track and mobile reception can be limited. Email lets us confirm availability and pricing accurately.
WHAT WE OFFER
One-off shuttles & transfers
Flexible transport anywhere along the Great Ocean Walk (subject to vehicle access and availability). Perfect if you’re organising your own itinerary and just need a lift.
