Karen our guide absolutely made the day for me. Her knowledge was invaluable and she changed the itinerary up to make our day still really worthwhile when the weather was misbehaving. Feeding the kangaroos and seeing baby koalas was amazing☺️

Had an absolutely brilliant day on the Blue Mountains Adventure - from start to finish the day was well organised and packed with fun activities, and despite sticking to the schedule we still had plenty of time to enjoy everything. Karen was the perfect tour guide - funny, friendly, engaging and so knowledgeable about the area. The activities were all great, despite the weather conditions not being amazing we still got the most out of the trip and it had a good amount of free time to explore as well. It was also amazing to see so much wildlife including rare black cockatoos! I’d absolutely recommend this for anyone visiting Sydney, especially as a solo traveller as Karen went above and beyond to make sure the day was amazing. 10/10 ❤️

Frequently asked questions

How much walking is involved?

The day mixes comfortable coach travel with several short walks at mountain lookouts, through the Scenic World rainforest and around Katoomba Cascades. Expect boardwalks, steps and some uneven ground rather than one long hike. Comfortable flat enclosed shoes are the best choice, and the experience is not suitable for wheelchair users.

Is this tour suitable for children and families?

Yes. Scenic World’s three rides, the wildlife encounters at Sydney Zoo and the included koala photo give children plenty to look forward to. It is a full day with an early start and regular walking, so it suits families whose children are comfortable with a busy sightseeing schedule.

Is lunch included?

Lunch and drinks are not included, which gives you the freedom to choose from the cafés, bakeries and casual eateries during the stop in Leura. It is a handy chance to find something that suits your appetite before the wildlife-filled afternoon continues.

What is included with the koala photo?

Your Sydney Zoo visit includes a complimentary digital photo taken up close with a koala. It is an easy-to-share keepsake from the wildlife part of the day, alongside time to see Australian favourites such as kangaroos and wombats.

Can I bring a stroller or large luggage?

A small day pack is the best choice because storage on the touring vehicle is limited. Large luggage cannot be carried, and baby strollers are not permitted. Pack light with water, sun protection and a layer for changing mountain weather.

What happens if the weather is wet or cloudy?

The Blue Mountains can be beautifully atmospheric in mist and light rain, and the tour operates in changing weather. Your guide may adjust the order of stops to make the most of the conditions. Mountain views and individual Scenic World rides depend on weather and operations, while the day continues wherever it is safe to do so.

Does the tour return to my hotel?

The day begins with pickup from selected Sydney CBD hotels at around 6.40am. After the Blue Mountains and Sydney Zoo, the coach connects with a ferry to Circular Quay, where the tour finishes at approximately 5.30pm. From there, you can continue your evening around the harbour or make your own way back to your accommodation.
