About Tread Lightly Eco Tours
Tread Lightly Eco Tours is an award-winning ecotourism operator that has been leading interpretive bushwalks and 4WD eco tours through the Blue Mountains World Heritage Area for over 20 years. Based on the Great Western Highway in Katoomba, they hold Advanced Ecotourism and Cultural Accreditation and have been inducted into the Ecotourism Australia Hall of Fame for their sustained commitment to sustainable, minimal-impact touring.
Their guided ecological bushwalks range from two to eight hours and explore the most spectacular scenery the Blue Mountains has to offer — ancient rainforests, thundering waterfalls, deep canyons and dramatic cliff-top lookouts. They also run 4WD eco tours into the remote Blue Mountains wilderness and evening glow worm excursions. Professional interpretive and Aboriginal guides share extensive knowledge of geology, native fauna and flora, Indigenous culture, astronomy and the region's unique natural history.
Tread Lightly is fully licensed with National Parks and Blue Mountains Council, and they acknowledge the traditional custodianship of the Gundungarra, Dharug, Dharawal, Wiradjuri and Darkinjung peoples. Their focus on carbon-reduced touring and environmental education makes them the standout choice for eco-conscious visitors wanting a deeper connection with the Blue Mountains landscape.
