What do you normally do on Blue Mountains Private Tours?*

Highlights

  • Pickup from Sydney CBD hotels
  • Stunning landscapes with optional walks
  • Optional attractions, including a wildlife park focussing on Australian animals
  • Café or restaurant dining in quaint Leura village or rural eatery

Blue Mountains tours typically begin with:

  • Early pickup from your Sydney CBD hotel.
  • Heading out of the city, you may first wish to visit Featherdale Wildlife Park, located in western Sydney.
  • The park’s focus is on Aussie animals, so it’s the perfect chance to meet some iconic Australian wildlife.
  • You can get up close to a koala for that perfect photo, feed a kangaroo, and discover the unique nature of Australian fauna. Many tour operators like to get here early, before larger tour groups arrive, or as the last stop on the way back to Sydney.

In the Mountains

  • Your first major stop in the Blue Mountains tour will probably be in the Upper Mountains between Wentworth Falls and Blackheath.
  • Get your first real look at the majestic valleys in this region, and learn about the geology, flora, and fauna of this UNESCO World Heritage site.
  • The Blue Mountains are known for views like these, so there will be plenty more to come.
  • You will likely visit the Katoomba area, which has some of the most well-known views and rock formations in the Mountains, including the Three Sisters during your Blue Mountains day tour.
  • Hear the Aboriginal Dreaming story of their creation as you take in the sweeping panorama of the Jamison Valley.
  • You may also like to visit Scenic World, an attraction that features cable car rides, a short but steep trail down into the valley, and a rainforest boardwalk.
  • For lunch, you may visit one of the mountain villages, such as Leura, which offers a range of eateries to suit most tastes.

Hiking trails

  • For those who feel like stretching their legs, you could take a walk on one of the many hiking trails with walking tracks.
  • You can head down the steeps steps into one of the valleys, passing through rainforest vegetation and waterfalls, or stay “up top” for a walk along the cliff edge to enjoy the sweeping valley views.
  • Mid-afternoon, after a full day of sightseeing, return to Sydney CBD (approx. 2 hours).

*Tour itineraries may vary for each tour operator. Please read the Blue Mountains tour operator’s itinerary before booking. Private blue mountains tours will have the word “private” in the title, on other tours you will be sharing the vehicle with other travelers.

Bad weather and fog can occur in the Mountains, so clear views of the Mountains cannot be guaranteed.
