This tour is organised and run by locals who have lived in the Blue Mountains all their life taking you to only the best places that can be fit in in a full day tour. This full day Blue Mountains tour is exactly that, we do not attend non relevant zoos, boats etc. Scenic World has also been removed from our itinerary as it wasn’t well received by our customer base.
This adventure commences early from Sydney with a meet and greet at the pickup point. You then have a bit over an hour to acquaint yourself with the group on the bus ride heading to the outskirts of Sydney.
Once you hit the start of the Blue Mountains there is a quick stop at a local shopping village where you can have a quick toilet/food/drinks stop before heading all the way up to the amazing Three Sisters rock formations. After taking photos of the Three sisters and jaw dropping Jamison Valley we then take you on a bushwalk right up to the three sisters and even onto one of the rock formations.
We then progress further into the mountains to Wentworth Falls where your guide will take the group for a 90 min hike through the bush where you will see local fauna, bird life and see several waterfalls on your hike to the base of the immense Wentworth falls and even have a quick refreshing dip.
All that sightseeing makes people hungry so the group will relocate to a nearby area where we cook an authentic Aussie BBQ with veggies and kangaroo on the side (vegetarian/vegan options).
After lunch we continue the day of fun and head to a local and secluded waterhole where people can go swimming or lay around on the sand in the sun deep within the bush of the Blue Mountains. Then, you head off into the nearby National Park down a long dirt road to say hello to skippy the Kangaroo. This tour has had hundreds of 5 star reviews. We are a small and passionate option!
By now the day is getting on and we head back into Sydney with an approximate arrival time of 6:00pm. We often conclude our day together at the Central Sydney bar.

Coast Warriors, Sydney’s laid-back, small-group tour operator is owned and managed by local Australians. We cater to active travellers aged 17 to 55 years, but older adventure-seekers are welcome too, as long as they can engage in bushwalking and like our tour offerings :)
One of Sydney’s top-rated experiences is available through our relaxed Blue Mountain tours. We conduct these tours with a casual, fun-focused approach, aiming to create the feeling of a group of friends on a day trip, rather than a formal tour.
We have been operating this adventure for quite a while, providing assurance that we will take you to the best, less-frequented destinations in the Blue Mountains. These include waterfalls, impressive lookouts, a stop at a local Glenbrook cafe, the Three Sisters at Katoomba, and other locations where you might spot a kangaroo, numerous bird species, and more. We also steer clear of mainstream bus locations and crowded tourist spots, aiming for a thorough, undisturbed Blue Mountains experience. Australian snacks like Tim Tams & Vegemite are part of the package!
