ITINERARY:


Avoid the crowds on this relaxed exploration of the Blue Mountains! Discover
the changing moods of the Blue Mountains in the late afternoon sunlight and
capture the sunset over the rugged ranges and valleys. This tour is
thoughtfully designed to sidestep Sydney’s peak-hour traffic with later
departures and returns, allowing you more time to immerse yourself in the
breathtaking scenery and tranquil native forests.


With a late morning departure, you’ll have extra time to explore Sydney before
joining this tour to one of the world’s most spectacular World Heritage-Listed
National Parks. Located just 50 kilometres from Sydney CBD, the Blue Mountains
is a haven of diverse flora and fauna, steeped in Aboriginal heritage. Known
for its dramatic landscape of rugged sandstone formations, sheer cliffs, and
giant eucalyptus trees that give the region its iconic blue haze, the Blue
Mountains promise a visual feast at every turn.


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.


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.


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.


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.


On the journey home, we’ll pause for a quick break before continuing this
unforgettable adventure back into Sydney in the evening. This scenic tour is
centred around the sunset experience, so we maintain flexibility with our
return time to ensure you can fully enjoy this magical moment throughout the
year.
