Other Transport
At times, you or someone in your group may need to skip a section of the trail due to illness, fatigue, or unforeseen circumstances. In most cases, short-term transport can be arranged by us if it’s for the following day. Please note, this service is at your own cost and subject to availability.
If transport is needed during the day then we may be able to assist with that as well if our shuttles are still out on their respective runs. However sometimes, what you require will be beyond what you require.
Below is a list of transport providers that service specific sections of the Otago Central Rail Trail, Clutha Gold Trail, and general areas like Clyde to Alexandra. These are local operators, not national services, and may be able to assist when needed.
