Best Value Small Group Tour

Rising up from Sydney’s western suburbs, yet a world away from the bustling streets of the city, the Blue Mountains are home to some of the most spectacular alpine scenery found in Australia. Towering cliffs drop off into verdant valleys, offering unforgettable views from lookout points and walking trails throughout the area. The wild bushland that carpets the area exudes eucalyptus oil, creating the soft blue haze that gives the range its name. While parts of the Blue Mountains were impacted by severe bushfires in the summer of 2019/20, the most popular travel destinations were thankfully left untouched, and regrowth is regenerating the areas that were hit.

Our Blue Mountains Tours explore this incredible wilderness on Sydney’s doorstep, offering plenty of photo opportunities from the remarkable lookouts that dot the area. Join one of our Blue Mountains day trips to meet some of Australia’s iconic wildlife, discover the quaint mountain towns, amble down picturesque walking trails and much more.

Discover the “Grand Canyon” of Australia on this mesmerizing day tour of the Blue Mountains, a World Heritage listed site with spectacular scenery. Throughout the day, you’ll get to explore deep gorges, green velvet mountains, and an amazing collection of wildlife. We visit Sydney Zoo for special encounters with Australia's adorable wildlife, head to Scenic World for unforgettable views of the Blue Mountains and cruise back to Sydney by ferry. Book the Blue Mountains Tour to explore the impressive natural beauty of the region.

Itinerary

The tour departs from Sydney bright and early to travel to our first stop of the day, Sydney Zoo (own expense). Here you can watch and interact with some of Australia’s best-known wildlife including koalas, wombats, wombats and more.

We then continue our journey into the Blue Mountains, where the dense forest and incredible views all around will leave you in awe! Firstly, we’ll head to Kings Tableland or Evans Lookout, from which you can gaze out across the mesmerizing scenery of the Blue Mountains.

We’ll take a bushwalk to Wentworth Falls or Leura Cascades, soaking up the eclectic selection of flora and fauna along the way, before we stop off in Leura, a picturesque village brimming with boutiques and quaint eateries.

Afterwards, it’s on to Katoomba, which sits pretty in the heart of the Blue Mountains. This cute town marks the gateway to two of the region’s most popular attractions. From here we’ll head to the Three Sisters rock formation, where you can learn about the fascinating Aboriginal myths and legends.

We’ll then move on to Scenic World (own cost), where you can hop aboard the Skyway, Australia’s highest cable car, the Cableway, the Railway, the steepest incline passenger railway in the world, and the Walkway, the longest boardwalk in Australia. Through each of these breath-taking rides, you’ll get to marvel at the stunning expanse of the Blue Mountains below.

Conclude your day with a trip up to Sydney Harbour, unwinding on a ferry along the Parramatta River back to Circular Quay city centre.
