Full description
The tour is designed to avoid Sydney's peak hour traffic by leaving and returning later to maximize our time enjoying the scenery. With a late morning departure, you'll have extra time to explore Sydney before boarding this World Heritage-Listed National Park tour. This area is rich in Aboriginal heritage and diverse flora and fauna. The Blue Mountains are known for their dramatic landscapes and unique sandstone formations. Surrounded by giant eucalyptus trees it creates a blue haze that lives up to its name.
Next, we explore Jamison Valley, a major scenic attraction with magnificent valley and canyon views. Get close to the iconic Three Sisters sandstone formation. Watch the sun sink behind the distant mountains as you hike along impressive bush trails to one of the most breathtaking waterfalls in New South Wales. Dusk is a time when many native animals are active and will explore some secret locations on the way home.
Driving: 250km. Walking: 2-4km (subject to fitness).

Avoid the crowds on this relaxed exploration of the Blue Mountains! Discover the changing moods of the Blue Mountains in the late afternoon sunlight and capture the sunset over the rugged ranges and valleys. This tour is thoughtfully designed to sidestep Sydney’s peak-hour traffic with later departures and returns, allowing you more time to immerse yourself in the breathtaking scenery and tranquil native forests.
With a late morning departure, you’ll have extra time to explore Sydney before joining this tour to one of the world’s most spectacular World Heritage-Listed National Parks. Located just 50 kilometres from Sydney CBD, the Blue Mountains is a haven of diverse flora and fauna, steeped in Aboriginal heritage. Known for its dramatic landscape of rugged sandstone formations, sheer cliffs, and giant eucalyptus trees that give the region its iconic blue haze, the Blue Mountains promise a visual feast at every turn.
Our journey begins with a quick refreshment stop in the charming towns of Glenbrook or Leura, the gateway to the Blue Mountains. These picturesque villages are full of character, offering a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Guests can explore local cafes and boutique shops and purchase something to eat at their own expense while soaking up the historic charm of these iconic mountain towns.
Afterwards, we’ll set out on a scenic bush exploration as we search for kangaroos in the wild. Many of Australia’s native animals are most active during the dusk hours, making this the perfect opportunity to spot kangaroos hopping through the underbrush or grazing in open fields.
Next, we’ll explore the stunning Jamison Valley, a major scenic attraction known for its breathtaking valley and canyon views. We’ll get up close to the iconic sandstone formation, the Three Sisters, and hike along impressive bush trails toward one of New South Wales’ most awe-inspiring waterfalls. Then, embark on a 90-minute nature walk down to the base of Wentworth Falls—equivalent to 8 flights of stairs down and back up—as you immerse yourself in the lush native forests and the soothing sound of cascading water.
Finally, we’ll visit either Echo Point or Lincoln’s Rock, two of the most iconic viewing spots in the Blue Mountains. Here, you’ll settle in to watch the sun sink behind the distant mountains, casting dramatic shadows over the rock formations, eucalyptus forests, and valleys. The panoramic views are simply unforgettable—a perfect way to end a day of exploration.
On the journey home, we’ll pause for a quick break before continuing this unforgettable adventure back into Sydney in the evening. This scenic tour is centred around the sunset experience, so we maintain flexibility with our return time to ensure you can fully enjoy this magical moment throughout the year.
