Blue Mountains: Three Sisters, Scenic World and Wildlife park

About this tour

Spend nine and a half hours exploring the Blue Mountains west of Sydney with a knowledgeable guide who'll walk you through three centuries of Australian history. You'll tackle all three Scenic World rides, stroll a rainforest boardwalk past waterfalls, then head to the wildlife park to see kangaroos and koalas up close. Lunch is sorted, and you'll be back in Sydney by 4pm—no mucking about with the ferry queues.

What to expect

You'll be collected early from your Sydney hotel and driven to the Blue Mountains, where your guide shares the area's colonial and Indigenous history as you explore. The Scenic World section gives you three different perspectives—riding the historic railway, gliding above the forest on the cableway, and walking the elevated boardwalk through temperate rainforest with waterfall glimpses. Lunch breaks up the day before you spend the afternoon at the wildlife park hand-feeding or photographing native animals. The drive back to Sydney takes you away from the public ferry chaos, arriving around 4pm.

Good to know

Wear proper closed-toe shoes and bring a jacket—mountain weather shifts quickly. The tour suits most fitness levels but isn't wheelchair or walker accessible. Let them know about dietary needs when booking. Guides are known for their humour, so expect laughs. Don't book if you've had flu-like symptoms in the past month.
