Outdoor and Nature Tours vs. Independent Travel: Pros and Cons

If you're debating whether to plan your trip solo or join a guided tour, take some time to reflect on the pros and cons of both options.

Pros
  • Some outdoor activities and adventure sports are best enjoyed in a group.
Cons
  • Local guides know the best areas and the top rated activities.


Pros
  • Many people enjoy the peacefulness of nature, which is best enjoyed independently with a few friends or family.
  • Traveling independently means you'll be able to move at your own pace and enjoy the activities that mean the most to you.
Cons
  • If transportation is limited and you don't have your own vehicle, it can be hard to get outside the major cities and towns and truly enjoy nature.


Which is cheaper?

Are guided outdoor and nature tours worth the money compared to independent travel? It depends on the specifics. Tours combine accommodations, meals, transport, tickets, and activities into a single cost, while independent travelers manage and pay for these individually. To determine which is more affordable, compare the tour's total price with what you'd spend booking everything separately. Preferences like staying in low-cost lodging or indulging in fine dining can influence whether a tour costs more or less. Make sure to check out the tour package to see what is included, or not, very carefully before deciding.

Also, before booking a tour, make sure you know exactly what is included as tour companies sometimes change their itineraries or included amenities to keep them updated with seasonal changes and customer interests.
