- Featherdale Sydney Wildlife Park - This is a suggested stop at an additional cost and can be arranged prior to your tour day. It’s recommended to visit this park in the morning on the way to the Blue Mountains. This is a wonderful opportunity to get up close with native Australian wildlife, including kangaroos, pademelons, wallabies, koalas, dingoes, and more. You can take your time or make it a quick visit, as the day is yours to enjoy at your own pace.
Not recommended for late start tours due to time constraints.
Full day option only. This is an optional stop not included in the tour price. Please inform us if you wish to visit this park.
- Glenbrook - As we pass through the lower mountain villages, we’ll stop here if Featherdale is not included. We may suggest an optional visit to The Lower Blue Mountains National Park, a less-traveled area. You’ll be surrounded by lush bushland and hear only the sounds of birds and wildlife, including kookaburras, cockatoos, magpies, and cicadas in summer. Enjoy the serene sounds of the Australian bush here in the lower mountains national park. This is a true escape from the crowds. We might consider a quick coffee stop here or head straight to the upper mountains. Depending on your preferences, this may or may not be included. As this venue is only accessible via a water causeway, it may not be available after heavy rain. Optional town visit showcasing the diversity of charming villages.
- Wentworth Falls - This is the most stunning waterfall in the mountains and a must-see when visiting this region. Get photography tips for long exposure waterfall shots using your iPhone, then take a walk to view the falls with an optional extension to the bottom. These views are breathtaking! How far we go here is up to you. Depending on your fitness level, this may or may not be included in the tour for those preferring more driving and less walking.
Fancy a swim in the warmer months? Bring your swimwear for a dip in the pool under the waterfall; it’s an unforgettable experience.
- Leura - This mountain village is a popular spot for village shopping and lunch. With a variety of village-style shops, you’ll immerse yourself in the local mountain atmosphere. There are several cafes offering a great range of quality gourmet foods. It can be busy here, but it’s well worth a visit, and you can spend as much or as little time as you like. We find Katoomba offers a wider range for lunch, and it’s quick too; we’ll discuss this on the day.
- Blue Mountains - We spend most of our time in the Blue Mountains exploring lush rainforest areas and lookouts. Discover remote lookouts perfect for capturing with your own equipment, such as aerial drone photography and videography.
- Echo Point Lookout - Photographing the Three Sisters is a highlight of the day, and we time it so the Three Sisters are showcased at their best in the afternoon light from the west. Although it’s challenging to avoid crowds at this stop, the best time to visit is late afternoon when most visitors have left. We save the best for last.
- The Three Sisters - Enjoy the views of the sisters in the afternoon with beautiful golden light from the west.
- Govetts Leap - If time allows, we may visit Govetts Leap for views of the Grose Valley. Typically, there are fewer visitors here, providing a peaceful environment to enjoy the fresh mountain air and spectacular valley views.
- Katoomba - The largest township in the mountains and one of the earliest established tourist regions, you’ll appreciate the diversity of this town. There are many options for a quick lunch, a stop at a brewery, a pub lunch at an extra cost, or simply strolling through the numerous eclectic shops at your own pace. We recommend this township for a stroll and lunch.
- Scenic World Blue Mountains - Although not part of our regular itinerary, we can arrange a drop-off at Scenic World for guests. Due to the lengthy queues of over 2 hours during busy periods, we do not recommend this stop.
