Tour Pricing

Each Nature Trail tour is offered as an exclusive private charter, priced on a group basis, not on an individual basis.  We do not offer public tours (i.e. to individual strangers).

Why Are Our Tour Prices So Competitive?

 

  • Well, Nature Trail is a small Katoomba tour operator, working out of our home base, so we don’t have to commute from Sydney
  • We have no commercial shopfront premises, so we don’t have rental outgoings
  • We design, plan and deliver our tours ourselves with no staff, so no staff costs
  • Aged in our 50s, we are semi-retired and so do tours to keep fit and healthy
  • We operate at marginal profit as a bonus, rather than for profit-making per se
  • We enjoy sharing the beauty and experience of the Blue Mountains with visitors.

 

So we invite visitors to our Blue Mountains Region to reap the benefits of enjoying a quality professional tour with Nature Trail – locally based, fully researched, designed and delivered tours by a locally qualified and competitively priced.
