Highlights

  • Your tour begins with pickup from your Sydney hotel in time for a 7:45am departure. Traveling in the comfort of a private vehicle, set out on the around 2-hour journey into the Blue Mountains. Climb the mountain roads through the Blue Mountains National Park until you reach the Wentworth Falls. Hop out to admire the views at one of the region’s most vantage points.  Continue to nearby Katoomba, where you’ll have the choice to hike to Katoomba Falls (45-minute medium-level hike) or visit Scenic World (extra costs apply; approximately AU$35 per adult). If you visit Scenic World, opt to ride the Scenic Railway along the Jamison Valley floor, take a walk along the Scenic Walkway, and enjoy thrilling aerial views on the Scenic Cableway or Scenic Skyway. There’s just time for a stop at the Echo Point viewpoint before lunch, to enjoy spectacular views of the famous Three Sisters peaks. After posing for photos against a backdrop of the magnificent Jamison Valley, enjoy a delicious Aussie-style lunch (own expense) in Leura village. After lunch, visit the Featherdale Wildlife Park (entrance fees not included - $28 per adult), where you can spot Australian wildlife including kangaroos, koalas, crocodiles, and echidnas. Choose to either return to Sydney by car (including hotel drop-off) or ride the public ferry back to Sydney along the Parramatta River, ending your tour back in Sydney Harbour.
