Itinerary
Enjoy a lie in as we departure from Sydney late morning, missing the peak hour traffic so we can get to the Blue Mountains faster. Offering 4 major pickups locations within inner Sydney CBD.
Brief convenience break in Glenbrook so passengers can grab a coffee shop (not included), before we head into the picturesque wilderness of the Blue Mountains.
Our journey begins with a quick refreshment stop in the charming towns of Glenbrook or Leura, the gateway to the Blue Mountains. These picturesque villages are full of character, offering a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Guests can explore local cafes and boutique shops and purchase something to eat at their own expense while soaking up the historic charm of these iconic mountain towns.
Next, we’ll explore the stunning Jamison Valley, a major scenic attraction known for its breathtaking valley and canyon views. We’ll get up close to the iconic sandstone formation, the Three Sisters, and hike along impressive bush trails toward one of New South Wales’ most awe-inspiring waterfalls. Then, embark on a 90-minute nature walk down to the base of Wentworth Falls—equivalent to 8 flights of stairs down and back up—as you immerse yourself in the lush native forests and the soothing sound of cascading water.
Afterwards, we’ll set out on a scenic bush exploration as we search for kangaroos in the wild. Many of Australia’s native animals are most active during the dusk hours, making this the perfect opportunity to spot kangaroos hopping through the underbrush or grazing in open fields.
Finally, we’ll visit either Echo Point or Lincoln’s Rock, two of the most iconic viewing spots in the Blue Mountains. Here, you’ll settle in to watch the sun sink behind the distant mountains, casting dramatic shadows over the rock formations, eucalyptus forests, and valleys. The panoramic views are simply unforgettable—a perfect way to end a day of exploration.
Say farewell to a day full of wilderness, wildlife and wonderland as we head back to Sydney after watching the sunset over the Blue Mountains.
