Your Experience

Discover the Blue Mountains and Scenic World

Start your journey early in the morning as you are collected from or near your Sydney CBD hotel, ready to immerse yourself in the dramatic beauty of the Blue Mountains. As you travel westward, take a pit stop at Glenbrook village for a morning refreshment before the adventure begins. On arrival, experience the excitement of Scenic World, home to the steepest railway in the Southern Hemisphere. Lean back and marvel at the sweeping vistas of the Jamison Valley during your descent. Take in the forest from above with a glass-floored gondola or the cableway, gliding above lush rainforest and striking rock formations. Don't miss the unique views of the iconic Orphan Rock and the endless eucalyptus forests that give these mountains their name.

Katoomba Falls, Echo Point and the Three Sisters

Continue your adventure with a guided walk to one of the region’s most spectacular waterfalls, Katoomba Falls. Let your guide reveal the stories behind this natural wonder and the striking Three Sisters rock formation at Echo Point lookout. Capture memorable photos of the valley and rock spires, and learn about the Aboriginal legend that gives the Three Sisters their names—Meehni, Wimlah and Gunedoo.

Sydney Zoo: Wildlife Encounters

Your tour includes access to Sydney Zoo, where you’ll have the chance to observe over 4000 animals, from playful kangaroos to the elusive red panda. Enjoy a complimentary photo opportunity with a koala and watch keepers interacting with native and exotic species. Take time to stroll the well-designed habitats and learn about ongoing conservation efforts.

Charming Leura Village

Pause in the pretty Edwardian township of Leura, famous for its boutique shops and the Teapot Museum, boasting a unique collection from around the world. Explore local stores for souvenirs or enjoy a relaxed lunch surrounded by the scenic mountain landscape (at own expense).

Return to Sydney by Harbor Ferry

At the close of your mountain adventure, board a ferry at Parramatta River and cruise back to Circular Quay. Unwind on deck as you take in views of Sydney’s skyline and iconic Harbor Bridge—perfect for a twilight photo opportunity.

  • This tour is designed for families, couples and solo travellers seeking a comprehensive day escape from the city.

  • Guides share local stories and insights, allowing you to appreciate the natural and cultural history of each stop.
