We are pleased to advise that bookings for the 2026/27 Overland Track walking season will open tomorrow (Tuesday, 7 July 2026).
The waiting room will open at 8am that day and the link will be shared on the PWS facebook page.
From 9am, those in the waiting room will be randomised and placed in the queue to progress through to the booking site.
It is recommended to join the waiting room prior to 9am, as those who access the link afterwards will be placed at the end of the queue.
Top tips for making a successful booking:
- Have all your info ready to go – including the full names, date of birth, state and nationality of all group members.
- Have your credit card ready to go (Visa or MasterCard only).
- Plan alternate dates in case your preferred date is unavailable. With only 34 places available each day, popular dates can sell out quickly.
The iconic wilderness experience attracts around 11,000 local, interstate and international walkers each year and traverses some of Tasmania’s most breathtaking alpine environments.
The experience includes a briefing by PWS staff at check-in to provide important safety updates.
The Overland Track is open year-round and attracts a booking fee of $312 per adult during the peak season from 1 October to 31 May inclusive.
At all other times, walkers are asked to register their walk using PWS’ online registration system.
