Overview

Travel just 1.5 hours with a small group max 35 people to experience nature on a grand scale in the UNESCO World Heritage listed Blue Mountains. Characterised by towering sandstone cliffs, waterfalls and lush valleys, this stunning area has long been a favourite destination for Sydneysiders and visitors alike.

Our first stop is Sydney Zoo to see Australia’s unique native fauna, and the opportunity to have a free digital photo with a Koala.

Admire panoramic views across misty blue valleys before a short lunch stop in the picturesque village of Leura. Travel along scenic Cliff Drive to reach Echo Point and the mythical Three Sisters rock formation & Gordon Fall Lookout.

The afternoon is spent at Scenic World where exciting experiences await. Journey to the floor of the Jamison Valley onboard the world’s steepest railway, travel back up through the canopy on the cableway and views to Orphan Rock and the Three Sisters, and glide over the Katoomba Falls on the scenic Skyway.
