What to expect

Start your day with a 7:45 am pickup and travel in a small group luxury coach, giving you extra space and a more relaxed pace throughout the day. As you cross Darling Harbour and the Anzac Bridge, you’ll get a quick introduction to Sydney and the plan for the day.

Your first stop is Sydney Zoo, where you’ll join a short guided walk through the Australiana section. Learn about native wildlife, get a digital photo with a koala, and enjoy some free time to explore before heading towards the Blue Mountains.

By late morning, you’ll arrive in the mountains and take in those first wide views over the valleys. Stop in Leura for lunch (own expense), then continue to Gordon Falls Lookout and Echo Point to see the famous Three Sisters.

The afternoon is spent at Scenic World, where you’ll ride the steep railway into the valley, return via cableway, and glide across the Skyway above Katoomba Falls.

Before heading back, stop at Cahill’s Lookout for a quieter panoramic view. Return to Sydney in the early evening.

We absolutely loved this trip. Max, our guide, was phenomenal. He was full of energy, very enthusiastic, great sense of humour and made sure we all had an enjoyable time. He was also very knowledgeable about the area, sharing lots of stories and facts about our journey and the places we were visiting too. The trip is very well organised. Max picked us up from our hotel and explained the itinerary of the day and kept us updated throughout our trip. Thank you Max - you were amazing, made our day 100x better than we ever thought it could be! Definitely recommend if you are visiting Sydney!

Frequently asked questions

What does the Scenic World Unlimited Discovery Pass include?

Your pass covers the Scenic Railway, Scenic Cableway and Scenic Skyway, along with access to the rainforest boardwalks. The afternoon is set aside for Scenic World, so you can enjoy the different rides without purchasing separate tickets. You can repeat rides when time and daily operations allow.

Is the koala photo included, and can I hold the koala?

A digital koala photo is included during your Sydney Zoo visit. The photo is taken beside a koala under zoo staff supervision rather than as a koala-holding experience. You will also have free time to explore more of the zoo and see other Australian animals.

How small is the group, and what type of coach is used?

The group is normally limited to a maximum of 35 guests, with the extra space of a full-size 54-seat luxury coach. This gives you more room, elevated views through the coach windows and a comfortable journey between Sydney and the mountains. The vehicle may occasionally change for operational reasons.

Is this tour suitable for families and older travellers?

Yes. The tour welcomes all ages and combines wildlife, mountain views and Scenic World rides without requiring a strenuous bushwalk. Most walking is over short distances at Sydney Zoo, the lookouts, Leura and Scenic World’s boardwalks. Guests should be comfortable getting on and off the coach several times and spending a full day sightseeing.

How does the lunch stop in Leura work?

Lunch is not included, giving you the freedom to choose from the cafés, bakeries and restaurants in Leura Village. Around an hour is normally allowed for lunch and a short look around the village, and your guide can point out convenient places to eat.

Where does the tour finish in Sydney?

The tour normally returns to Central Station or Furama Darling Harbour at around 6.45pm to 7pm. Return drop-off is at these central locations rather than at each individual morning pickup point, making it easy to continue by train, light rail, taxi or rideshare.

What is the tour like in cloudy or wet weather?

The Blue Mountains can still feel atmospheric in mist or light rain, especially around the rainforest and waterfalls. The tour normally operates in most weather conditions, although visibility at the lookouts and individual Scenic World rides can vary. Your guide may adjust the order or timing of outdoor stops, so layered clothing and a light weatherproof jacket are useful.

Our guide was really great throughout the day! Everything went according to plan. The cable cars/train was very busy, so allow time for the queuing. A brilliant day out!
