The tour requires a medium level of fitness, making it ideal for those who enjoy a bit of adventure. One recent review from October 7th highlights the experience:

Beautifully guided tour. - That was my third tour out of Sydney and the first one focused on the blue mountains. Ben our guide did an excellent job. He has a wealth of knowledge gathered from his years of experience as a guide in Australia. We first stopped at Featherdale wildlife park. It has a huge collection of native birds to Australia as well as some animals such as Koalas, wallabies, a couple of wombats etc. We then stopped at different lookouts along the way that were gorgeous. We bought our own lunch and water( the trip is not all inclusive) in the pretty town of Leura. And did more stops at lookout for different angle of the mountains.

This tour is not just about sightseeing; it’s about connecting with nature and understanding the importance of preserving these beautiful landscapes for future generations.

Discover Hidden Gems: Intimate Small Group Experience

For those who prefer a more personalized experience, the Intimate Small Group Tour offers an exclusive journey through the Blue Mountains. This tour is designed to keep you away from the crowds, allowing you to fully appreciate the region’s iconic landscapes. Starting with a visit to Featherdale Wildlife Park, you can hand-feed kangaroos and admire the cuddly koalas. The tour then takes you on a guided bushwalk at Wentworth Falls, where you can explore enchanting tea-tree forests and fern gullies.

The tour also includes a stop at Leura Village for lunch, where you can explore charming cafes and cozy restaurants. The afternoon brings you to Echo Point, the Blue Mountains’ most famous lookout, where you can bask in the golden light as it illuminates the Three Sisters. One review from June 10th captures the essence of this tour:

Mark is a wonderful tour guide - Our tour guide was Mark and we were very grateful to his enthusiasm and liveliness in this trip. Unfortunately, it was raining heavily and we could not even view Blue Mountain visibly due to the cloudiness. We were the first to arrive at Featherdale and my child absolutely enjoyed feeding the Kangaroos. Mark took us to Leura Mall for lunch and made effort in explaining what were the good ones for lunch. He brought us to see the white parrots which was out of the itinerary, probably because we missed three sister’s views due to bad weather. He gave each of us a Tim Tam as souvenirs too.

This tour is perfect for those who value flexibility and a more intimate connection with nature, making it a memorable experience for all.
