What the price leaves out

These are the base prices operators show on their own pages, read in October 2026. They are not quotes. 209 of the 344 exclude GST, 67 say transport is extra, and the start point varies (the trailhead or a nearby city), so read the basis on each trek guide before you compare two prices. Each guide links every operator page.
