5.00Arana was our guide and she made this day an exceptional experience. We loved the intimacy of the size of the group and Arana not only drove us but gave us loads of interesting information with a bit of banter as well! Her lunch spot recommandation was excellent and without her mentioning it we would have missed going to the Sydney Fish Market on our return to Sydney at the end of our fabulous day! Great trip not to be missed, every penny worthwhile!

Better for younger people with more energy

3.00I think overall this tour is for a younger crowd. The overview and waterfall both include substantial walks/hikes down paths/steps which are easy enough to go down, but then you have to go back up! The falls we could see from the top did not look impressive enough to venture down, so we skipped. The animal park was nice, and the stop in the little town for lunch was decent. I think other tours with less walking would have been a better pick for us.

2.00This was advertised as a maximum of 20 guests; we had 26. The guide was so far ahead we couldn't hear and very few stops to admire the scenery. Arana also told us to hike to the 3 sisters view but the viewing area was actually better. She never described why 3 sisters was important. I had to Google it.
Great day of wildlife, waterfalls and vistas

5.00This was the best day! The wildlife park in the morning is incredible, giving you a chance to get up close with some native Australian wildlife. Then the hikes, waterfalls and views were unreal all day. We had Arana as our tour guide and she was amazing, very knowledgeable about the area & very entertaining throughout the whole day (enhanced the tour hugely). Many thanks! Charles & Felicity
One of the best experiences

5.00I had the most amazing experience today on this tour with Arana as the guide. I am traveling solo and was nervous I wouldn’t get to socialize, but there were a ton of other solo travelers, and even the ones not solo traveling were very friendly. Everyone in the group had different backgrounds which made it super fun to get to know everyone. We got picked up at a convenient location and made our way to featherdale wildlife park. I didn’t know what to expect but it exceeded everything. We were able to get up close with many of the animals! After that, we made our way to our hike. The hike was moderately difficult, but Arana took us on a route that allowed us to see so many amazing things that I forgot we were hiking 3 miles. Once we made it to the trickier part of the hike, we had the option to continue down to the bottom of the waterfall or stay at the top of the stairs. I was nervous to go down but decided to anyway. It was worth the energy! I have never seen such beautiful views. After the hike, we made our way to Katoomba for lunch which we did on our own. May of us went to the same restaurants and got to socialize some more. Finally, we made our way to the three sisters. This was a great view, but after seeing them, we made our way back. 10/10 tour. Truly recommend to anyone that is capable of a moderate hike.
Excellent tour, nicely paced, and good fun

5.00Excellent tour. A full minibus of 26 mixed age, mixed nationalities, was ably led by our driver/guide. Great information at each stop, and a really good hike along the trail…

5.00It does involve hiking (it is why I selected it) on very well maintained trails. I had over 16,000 steps. Our guide, Ronnie was great, entertaining and knowledgeable. I'm 76 and did ok. My wife did not want to take all of the walks and Ronnie always was there to accommodate her. Great job.
A Tour to the Waterfalls with very rough pathways!
Romeo A,Mar 31, 2026
- Review from Viator
4.00Travelers aged 60 years old and older must be strictly warn not to go down to the water falls because its pathways are not developed yet and very rough with no handrails most of the stairs so it’s very risky to go down and go up again for an equivalent of 60 storeys building. This is really not a good tour for elderly people.
