Highlights
Coast Warriors is Sydney’s chilled out small group tour operator own and run by Aussie locals. We target the fitter 14 to 70ish years of age travellers though older is fine if you can bushwalk and like what you see advertised :) This tour offers one of Sydney's highest reviewed experiences for those seeking a relaxed Blue Mountains option. Our tours are run by fun local Aussies with the aim of being less of a tour and more of a feeling of a small group of mates on a day trip. We have now been running this adventure for many years so you can put trust that we will take you to only the best and less touristy places within the Blue Mountains. Waterfalls, amazing lookouts, Glenbrook cafe stop (locals cafe), the Three Sisters at Katoomba, occasionally a kangaroo and often birds. This is a full day in the Blue Mountains generally away from all the tourists and other mainstream tour bus locations. Aussie snacks like Tim Tams & Vegemite are on offer too.

Itinerary
Morning stop in the lower Blue Mountains town of Glenbrook. A beautiful little town with a few Aussie cafes, toilets and shops. We have a short stop here for coffees and toilets on our way to the upper Blue Mountains where we spend majority of our day
This is the location that we do our 90+ minute waterfall nature walk and usually have lunch afterwards. The guide will be checking the weather and decide the best place to have lunch. The hike has a harder section however you can choose to skip this part. Lunch is included and you can check the pictures.
This is the most touristic location that we attend and we do try to attend at less busy times. We spend a shorter amount of time here as we are more of a nature experience. At this location you have free time to grab some photos of the Three Sisters rock formations. There is also a café, bar, souvenir shops and a local gem shop.
We see numerous Blue Mountains lookouts and viewpoints. We will keep this description broad as we do vary the itinerary for the most optimum lookouts taking into account weather, visibility and staying away from crowds at peak times. Check our photos and reviews. We will take you to the best spots ! Small group, small bus so we go to better locations too! **We have removed Scenic World as an option as it is too busy/lines.**No zoos **No ferry boat **No Hotel pickups and drops. As we Maximise our time in nature in the Blue Mountains which is what our guests want. Please book elsewhere if desired.
A really cool lookout overlooking Megalong Valley. This lookout has no fences which makes it really unique.

4Only one day for the Blue Mountains
A very good introduction to the Blue Mountains area & perfect for anyone just in Sydney for a short time. The guide was friendly & informative, & a lot was packed into the day with no sense of time pressure.
5Excellent tour with brilliant guide Zac!
Excellent full day tour with great friendly guide Zac. The tour made even better by everyone on it also being very friendly and sociable. Beautiful spots to visit. My only small criticism is I would have liked more time at the three sisters, there are some cool little walks you can do and I felt like I flew round without really taking it in. Overall a must do for Sydney tourists.
5Beautiful and wonderful
Abbie was a great host, keeping us entertained with Australian facts and humour throughout the trip. Everything ran smoothly, including the transport, lunch etc. I loved the personalised touch of the 2 hour waterfall walk it was so beautiful. You stop at 2 main places on the blue mountains right in the heart of them. The views were incredible. Lunch was delicious, sandwiches with fresh ciabatta made by a local bakery in the blue mountains. We had a wonderful day, thankyou Abbie :)
5Blue Mtn day tour from Sydney
Nice day trip to the blue mtns from Sydney. Emma (our guide) was fantastic from start to finish. The walk can be a little strenuous if not in shape or have elderly but worth the effort. Spectacular views!!!
5Blue Mountains Experience
Excellent trip, Abi our guide was very helpful and friendly. The stops were just the right length no wasted time. Highly recommended
4Bush Walk was the highlight of the tour
Guide, Chris was very knowledgeable and professional. The description of small group is questionable- there were 28 people in the group - I was expecting a small group. The key area impacted was how rushed the hike or bush walk was. It was amazing and a bit disappointed we couldn’t stop and enjoy the beauty. There were predefined stops to allow for pictures but other than those - we had to keep up. Not a negative just wish i knew so I could reset the expectations or book different tour.

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.
