Itinerary
After meeting your guide at your centrally located CBD hotel, travel approximately 45-minutes towards Featherdale Wildlife Park, one of Sydney's favorite native wildlife sanctuaries home to iconic Australian animals such as kangaroos, koala's, and a range of stunning native bird-life. Here you'll have the opportunity to take a selfie with a koala, get up close for a face-to-face encounter as you pose for the camera with the animals.
Next, make your way to Echo Point Katoomba, the perfect vantage point for the iconic Three Sisters; a stunning natural rock formation named after an Aboriginal legend which describes a tale of three sisters turned to stone. Here, let your guide take you back in time as you explore the legends of the local Indigenous people and discover the history surrounding the rock formation. You'll also have time for the perfect photo opportunity as you look-out across the Jamison Valley and view the unique blue haze that covers the skyline.
Up next is Scenic World, one of the Blue Mountains most frequently visited attractions. For the nature lovers, soak up the fresh air and see the world heritage listed rainforest canopy as you make your way through the lush greenery along the boardwalks. If you're up for a little more adventure, scenic world is home to the worlds steepest incline railway as well as an incredible scenic cable-way ride. The cable-way is a fully enclosed glass floor cabin providing unique views over the valley out to the Three Sisters, Orphan Rock, Mt Solitary and the stunning Katoomba Falls. You'll feel like you're flying as you travel over the breathtaking Katoomba Falls - a sight you won't want to miss. If the glass floor isn't for you, there is solid flooring with seating available around the outskirts of the cabin.
End your day on a high as you bypass the peak hour traffic with a relaxing cruise down the Parramatta River back to either Darling Harbour or Circular Quay. See some of Sydney's most expensive real estate as you cruise along the river and end with the perfect harbor photo opportunities as you arrive back in the CBD ( At own cost ).

Great knowledge history of the tour plus excellent rides for the day. That was the best which marks the day.
5A Must Do!
A MUST DO!! Awesome day in the Blue Mountains. Plan on the entire day exploring. Walk, take the rides and take lots of great pics.
5This an opportunity to...
This an opportunity to see some of the hidden wonders of Australia. Our first stop was Featherdale. It was a thrill to feed the koalas. Had lunch in Leura. Delightful little artsy village. Viewed the 3 sisters. Enjoyed all Scenic Railway and Skyrail. Tony was our driver. He provided lots of history lessons mixed with Aussie music and helpful tips.
2Good activities, completely irresponsible tour company
The activities were very enjoyable and our tour guide was affable and knowledgeable, however the drop off at the ferry was completely unacceptable. We were left stranded. This is the report from the transit agency. Ferry passengers are urged to plan ahead this weekend as ongoing industrial action impacts Sydney Ferries services. Transdev Sydney Ferries has advised that F3 Parramatta River services will not operate on Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 September. I called our guide to get help and there was no response. All 11 of us were left stranded in a city with which we were not familiar. This was irresponsible bordering on dangerous. My wife and I are in our 70’s and my wife and I are dealing with some ambulatory issues. I would not travel with FJ tours or use your booking service again.
5Great day trip from Sydney!
Had a great day trip from Sydney. Really enjoyed the animal park, the beautiful views, walking through the rainforest at scenic world. Aaron was a great guide. It was a good company to work with.

About Sydney
Sydney wraps around a glittering natural harbour, with a famous sail-roofed opera house, golden surf beaches and an easygoing outdoor life.
The Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge face each other across Circular Quay, where ferries come and go. The Rocks, the old colonial quarter, has sandstone pubs and weekend markets, and the Royal Botanic Garden curves around Farm Cove to Mrs Macquarie's Chair for the classic view of both landmarks.
Top-ranked sights in Sydney: Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney Harbour.
