Scenic World Trade Policy

Located in the World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains, Scenic World is Australia’s most visited, privately owned attraction. Just two hours from Sydney by car or train, we welcome more than one million visitors annually including both FITs and organised tour groups.

Our rides accommodate large groups – both the Scenic Railway and Cableway have capacity for 84 people; the Skyway 84 people. All rides operate approximately every 10 minutes and visitors board on a first come, first served basis. Our customer service staff are always available to assist with how to best manage your group’s visit.

These terms are specific to trade. Full terms and conditions are available here: https://www.scenicworld.com.au/terms-conditions

ACCOUNT CUSTOMERS

Scenic World encourages regular trade customers to establish an account to process payments. To create an account please download a Scenic World Credit Application, and email the completed version to [email protected] or post to 1 Violet Street, Katoomba NSW 2780

Payment terms for customers with accounts are the same as non-account customers, however customers with accounts have the option to pay post-visit (subject to the standard terms and conditions outlined below).

Payments

All Scenic World invoicing is processed at the rack rate with group rates applicable upon payment within 14 days. Payment beyond 14 days incurs the rack rate as invoiced. These terms apply to all our travel company customers and are non-negotiable.

Prequalified travel companies who pay on the day of visit via cash, cheque or credit card will pay at the applicable group rate. Please note payment via credit card incurs a 1.5% surcharge fee (valid until Sept 30 2026). Pre-payment also qualifies for payment at the group rate for participating companies; please request to pre-pay at time of booking if required. Pre-payments must be received no less than two (2) working days before the booking date and remittance sent to [email protected]. Failure to do so will result in a delay for the group upon arrival.

Timing Group Visits

Many of our groups arrive on day trips from Sydney, with a peak period between 11:00am and 2:00pm. We plan accordingly to ensure every group enjoys a memorable Scenic World experience.

Please note we cannot provide preference or favour one group over another – all groups are treated equally. Our exceptional customer service ensures the process of experiencing the rides is fair and smooth.

When possible, scheduling your group visits outside our peak period may result in an even more enjoyable experience for your clients.
