Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Pass By: Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney, New South Wales 2060 Australia

A trip across the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge takes us straight on the tollways to avoid the traffic.

Stop At: Featherdale Sydney Wildlife Park, 217 - 229 Kildare Rd Doonside, Blacktown, New South Wales 2767 Australia

Visit Featherdale Wildlife Park. For us, they'll open 1 hour before the official opening hours, so you will get to meet the mostly nocturnal animals long before the large crowds get here!

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Wentworth Falls Lookout, Wentworth Falls, New South Wales 2780 Australia

These falls are best viewed on our circuit walk (See next).

Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Overcliff-Undercliff Track, Blue Mountains National Park, New South Wales Australia

Guided circuit walk in the spectacular Jamison Valley, including the Wentworth Falls (approximately 1-2 hours, pending on guests' agility and the weather) to discover the true beauty of the Jamison and Grose.

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

Stop At: Leura Cascades, Leura, New South Wales Australia

Taking in two of the best views across the Jamison Valley, down to Mount Solitary, Ruined Castle, the Illawarra Escarpment and Ruin Castle, this short 15 minute walk will leave you breathless.

Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: The Three Sisters, Echo Point road Echo Point, Katoomba, New South Wales 2780 Australia

Poster girls of the Blue Mountains. Of course we'll go visit them - but there's so much more to see.

Duration: 15 minutes

Pass By: Leura Mall, Village Centre, Leura, New South Wales 2780 Australia

Picturesque mountain village - worth a photo stop when the Cherry trees are blossoming in spring!

Stop At: Pulpit Rock Lookout, Pulpit Rock Track, Blue Mountains National Park, New South Wales 2570 Australia

One of the best and most impressive lookouts of the Blue Mountains, offering uninterrupted views over the Grose Valley AKA The Australian Grand Canyon. Only reachable via a section of unsealed road - rough enough to keep out the crowds.

TEMPORARILY: While Pulpit Rock is closed, you will be given a choice between:
- Govett's Leap to Evans Lookout Self-guided hike (medium walk with a lot of steps)
- Fairfax Walk - easy walk from the Visitor Centre to Govett's Leap

Duration: 45 minutes

Spectacular views over the Megalong Valley, and Narrowneck. Get your camera's ready!

Fantastic views deep into the Grose Valley.

Duration: 20 minutes

Pass By: Dingo Tours, U 4 14 St Pauls St, Randwick, New South Wales 2031 Australia

This tour is designed to focus on those less visited spots taking more time to soak up the atmosphere in stunning rainforest gorges, ferny grottos, swimming holes and a series of cascades.

This could have been an excellent tour. But the guide picked up the wrong people at my hotel leaving us standing there for a while until I called the tour operator. They eventually came back and picked us up but this put the tour behind schedule. Adding to the time issue was the Good Friday traffic. We were not able to do all we wanted to do on the tour and we got back ~3 hours late eliminating other plans we had for late afternoon / evening.

Yella was terific, he picked made sure everyone was happy with the tour and paced everyone when hiking Blue Mountains. Yella gave us the option to separate from the group and hike a different trail that was more difficult for most on the group. We saw quite a bit of waterfalls and had a great day hiking the harder trail. We also saw penguins, koalas and and kangaroos at Featherdale. We were able to pet the Joeys!! Definitely a must do for those who enjoy hiking!!

The Guide was great. She loved her job and made everyone feel comfortable. She made sure that everyone could handle the sometimes steep uphill climbs so that we all got to see the best sights. The scenery was awesom even though there were showers throughout the day and some low fog.

Great tour of the Blue Mountains. Small group tours are the best. Guide was both knowledgeable and personable. Would have liked to have spent more time in one of the villages in the area to see the different shops.

On the morning of my tour, Sydney was experiencing torrential rains. Despite hopes that the rain/fog/mist would eventually lift, unfortunately that was not to be - in spite of this, Jelle did his best to ensure people felt like they got their money's worth from the day. Understanding that he was offering a tour that advertises hikes, Jelle came up with a plan to allow anyone who wanted to do a hike the opportunity to do so. Fortunately, myself and one other person on the tour that day were up for the adventure and we were dropped off with instructions at the start of a trail - he thought it would take us about 90 minutes, and sure enough myself and the other hiker got to the end of the trail, where the rest of the group was waiting, in about 100 minutes (we stopped a few times along the route to take in what we were able to see through the fog). While that ended up our only hike of the day (though an offer for a second hike was on the table if we wanted to do it), I appreciated that the weather, plus a tour group featuring a number of people who may not have been up for hiking even in ideal weather (it's an open question whether a few of them even glanced at the tour description), were largely to blame. I've got no regrets about taking this excursion (no one can control the weather, and it made for a "fun" story!) and have no doubt that with better weather, this would be extremely enjoyable. You do stop at Featherdale Wildlife Park which seems to be a popular spot for many tours given its location en route to the Blue Mountains, but after that we were in spots away from the bigger tour buses, which is something to appreciate for sure. Absolutely would recommend this excursion to others, BUT ONLY IF YOU'RE OPEN TO THE IDEA OF HIKING! If you just want to leisurely see the sights, book something that will just drive you around all day so you can look at things. For those that want to get out and experience this part of the world you likely wouldn't otherwise experience, it's a great choice.

We had an amazing day with Katja as our guide. She was very knowledgeable and curtailed our tour as requested. The day started out foggy so Katja had to quickly adjust our route thankfully the skies cleared up as the day went on so we were able to view all!! I highly recommend this tour and Katja!!
