What to expect

You'll be collected from your Sydney hotel early morning and driven to the zoo for a cultural introduction and animal interactions with a ranger. From there, the route heads west into the Blue Mountains. After grabbing lunch in Leura (your shout), you'll walk a moderate trail along the clifftops at your own pace—there's no rushing, plenty of spots to stop and absorb the landscape. The drive back down concludes at Olympic Park Wharf, where you board a ferry that takes you back into the harbour, finishing at either Circular Quay or Darling Harbour depending on your preference.
