Description

We firstly stop at the Blue Mountains township of Glenbrook, where you can purchase a coffee and stretch your legs in preparation for the amazing day ahead.

Visit Elysian Rock lookout for another spectacular view. This spot is a hidden gem offering stunning panoramas and a perfect location for quiet reflection and photography.

A visit to Echo Point is a must and where you’ll witness the iconic Three Sisters rock formation. Learn about the Aboriginal legends surrounding this natural wonder and take in the sweeping vistas of the Jamison Valley. The observation deck at Echo Point offers fantastic photo opportunities, ensuring you capture the essence of the Blue Mountains’ grandeur.

We then venture to Scenic World where you’ll experience the thrill of the Scenic Railway, the world’s steepest passenger railway. Glide above the ancient rainforest canopy on the Scenic Skyway and then enjoy panoramic views of the majestic Blue Mountains on the iconic gondola. Three breathtaking magical rides. You will then embark on a guided walk through an ancient rainforest, where you’ll learn about the unique flora and fauna that thrive in this pristine environment.

Next stop is Katoomba Cascades Waterfalls where you can stroll along the boardwalks and viewing platforms, witnessing the mesmerizing cascade of water through the verdant foliage. This tranquil spot is ideal for capturing stunning nature photographs. You can even walk on stepping stones at the bottom of the amazing falling and free flowing water from the cascades.

Enjoy the tranquility and breathtaking views at Cahill's Lookout where you can capture sweeping vistas of the Megalong Valley. This lookout is less crowded than Echo Point, offering a peaceful retreat with equally magnificent views.

You will stop at the lovely township of Leura where you can walk the tree lined streets and wander into in the iconic boutique shops, and it is also here where you can purchase some lunch.

Visit the renowned Sydney Zoo where you will be immersed in the diverse world of Australian animals. Get up close and personal with some of Australia’s most beloved creatures, including feeding kangaroos, and seeing other native Australian animals such as koalas, and wombats and more. Don’t miss out on a FREE digital photo up-close with a koala – a perfect memento to share with friends and family.

We conclude our adventure with a serene ferry ride back to Sydney, providing unparalleled views of Sydney Harbour. Sail under the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge and end your tour near the majestic Sydney Opera House. This scenic journey offers the perfect finale to a day filled with natural beauty and Australian wildlife, making it an unforgettable experience. With hotel CBD Sydney pick-up and easy access to find you own way back to your accommodation at your own leisure after the ferry ride, our Blue Mountains adventure stands out as a premier tour option.

It was a great experience. Our guide and driver Adrian was great. The bus we were on was a little small which is fine however the air conditioning on the bus was abysmal even when turned all the way up. Thankfully the day started relatively cool, but by the time we were being driven from Leura to the Sydney Zoo, which is the longest duration that we were in the bus, it was very hot out and with the air conditioning not working great, the bus was practically an oven. Outside of the hot bus, we still had a great time.
Fantastic Tour

What a fantastic time! A lot of Sydney packed into one day. The mountain views were extraordinary and our tour guide Karen was terrific. She was knowledgeable about the history of the area and helpful in all ways possible.

If you have 3 days in Sydney which is honestly all the time you need in my opinion if you spend one at the opera house/rocks/Chinese garden/QVB, 1 at the beaches in Bondi and coogee, this tour covers the rest of all you really need which is all in the blue mountains. They did a great job of taking me to all the most cool things that I hadn’t already done yet and the tour guide was very friendly
Bad guide ruined the tour

My husband and I just finished a tour with this company with Dan as our guide to the Blue Mountains and zoo. I have been in the tourism business since 2009 and so wanted to provide some feedback here. Dan spoke for the first half hour about himself, and basically bragged about all the incredible things he has done from cop, to coroner to starting the first private ambulance and on and on. Very odd indeed, I’ve never seen a guide talk so extensively about themselves. Humility is not his strong suit. Then throughout the day in between appropriate conversation about what we were going to do and bits about the area, the flora and fauna, he regaled us with upsetting stories of dead kids, aggressive koalas, terrible traffic and any number of negative, scary stories meant to gross us out or warn us. I have never had a guide tell such negative tales. It was quite unpleasant. Plus he almost never stopped talking - over 6 hours of constant talk. He thinks he is being witty and charming and feels the need to fill every minute with chatter. I do think he is trying hard but he hasn’t been trained properly and shouldn’t be client facing. Others might feel differently however as someone who truly knows the difference between a good and a bad guide, I felt compelled to say something. Taking this tour would be a much better experience with a different guide. The only other comment is that the Blue Mountains Scenic World was terribly crowded with scores of tour buses which takes away from the serenity there.
Great tour and great driver/guide

This is a 10.5 hours tour and it’s packed with back to back activities. Ronnie, our driver & tour guide, was excellent. Not only explained a lot of the history and Sydney and Blue Mountain, she also planned the activities quite well and able to make change due to the weather condition or avoiding a big crowd. We had a lot of fun with this tour.
We got Adrian as guide...
