What To Expect
Featherdale Sydney Wildlife Park
Featherdale provides a home to over 2,000 Australian native animals from more than 260 different species and is home to the world’s largest collection of Australian wildlife. Focusing solely on native animals, at Featherdale you will find the largest collection of koalas in New South Wales, 3 open space enclosures filled with kangaroos and wallabies, as well as well as encounters with many other iconic Australian animals, such as dingos, echidnas, wombats, bilbies, Tasmanian devils, reptiles and a stunning collection of birds from Australia and around the world.
Lincoln's Rock
This incredible lookout gives you your first all-encompassing views of Jamison Valley, which change colour throughout the day as the sun and clouds move overhead. The drawcard of Lincoln’s Rock is the impressive optical-illusion photo you can get as a memento, which makes it appear as though you’re sitting literally on the edge of a cliff. In truth you are, except that there’s a fairly safe ledge just below that would stop you from falling very far! However we do state that you take photos at your own risk

5.00Gorgeous area, worth the trip! Our guide was fantastic; entertaining, knowledgeable and thoughtful. The animal excursion was interactive and nice to see them up close, all the unique Australian animals and birds we really wanted to see. Enjoyed our hike to the waterfall as well near 3 sisters.
Fantastic experience with a super guide!

5.00A beautiful trip. At the wildlife park we saw the Koalas and kangaroos up close. The Blue Mountains are very impressive, both the viewpoints and the walk. And the nice Brazilian guide made it complete.
Great guide!

Blue Mountain Tour and Wild Animal Park

5.00This tour was lots of fun. We had an awesome tour guide named Gil who is from Brazil. We started the tour at the Wild Animal Park where we saw koalas, kangaroos and lots of other animals and birds. After spending an hour and a half at the Park, Gil gave everyone a small clip-on koala. Then Gil drove to the Blue Mountains and told us the history of the Blue Mountains and the Three Sisters. We stopped at a lookout area to take pictures, and Gil was so nice he offered to take pictures of us. Gil also took us on a hike in the rainforest and we saw the waterfalls. Gil was such a great tour guide. I highly recommend this tour with Gil.
Best blue mountains tour out there!

5.00We had an absolutely fantastic time on this tour (we booked again after 2 years as it was so good) This time it was even better! Our host Gil was fantastic, he was super friendly, so knowledgable, and kept us entertained throughout the driving. We are so grateful for this experience and would recommend it to anyone wanting to meet cute aussie animals, experience incredible mountain views, bushwalk and cozy mountain towns!
Wonderful tour and hike

5.00This was a top notch tour with a fabulous guide- Guilherme. Guilherme was just amazing and had such a positive, upbeat demeanor, many interesting facts about Australia and the Blue Mountains, and was just so kind. The transportation was clean and comfortable, and the activities were well-timed and well-paced. I highly recommend the tour. The hiking bit was particularly delightful.
Brilliant Blue Mountains Bush Walk

5.00Ronnie was an amazing tour guide! He picked us up right on time at the meeting spot and from the minute we boarded the bus, we were laughing at his jokes and learning about the city en route to the Blue Mountains. He was genuinely so enthusiastic about the places we were getting to see and gave us really interesting information, all while keeping things light and fun. He was able to adjust on the fly due to the weather to make sure we would have the best views of the Three Sisters. I would recommend going on the bush walk rather than choosing the Scenic World option if you have the mobility. Ronnie was an awesome guide on the walk, enthusiastically scaling the hills and teaching us about aboriginal peoples and their communication in the Blue Mountains (using echos through the caves), showed us gorgeous waterfalls, and we even saw two young male superb lyrebirds on our walk practicing their mating ritual. Ronnie was so excited to see these birds, and as we exited the trail, he alerted others heading down that they might see some too. It was so clear that he genuinely enjoyed his job and was having a great time, and that made the experience so positive for everyone in the group. His dedication to getting the best shot for the folks on the tour wherever we were was unparalleled and much appreciated! Some of my best photos from my entire two week trip to Australia! The tour size felt just right - not too large. And we remained on schedule and in high spirits through the whole trip despite some glum weather midway through the trip and itinerary adjustments on the fly due to that thanks to Ronnie's energy and expertise. He made sure we'd see all the best views and get the best photos of them and made us feel so safe and energized. This was a major highlight of our trip.
Enjoyable full day out

5.00Really good day out - started at the wildlife zoo but we didn’t get very long, at least 30 mins longer is needed. Then we headed into the blue mountains and had a pit stop with a view, then dropped into town for lunch then a walk through the rainforest and seen some waterfalls. Ronnie was a really good tour guide and made the day. You do need to be relatively fit to climb a lot stairs in this tour.
