  • Journey through the Blue Mountains

    Embark on an early morning journey into the heart of the Blue Mountains, beginning with a convenient pick-up from Sydney City Centre in a locally owned vehicle. With your expert local guide, you'll be the first group to enter Scenic World, enjoying the rainforest and thrilling rides before the crowds arrive. Traverse the Sydney Harbour Bridge and venture into the majestic Blue Mountains, joining intimate bushwalks through lush rainforests in a small group of no more than 20. Discover hidden lookout points and remote areas for breathtaking, crowd-free views of the Jamison Valley and eucalyptus-scented forests.

    Marvel at native Australian wildlife

    Make use of your Scenic World passes to explore the forest via a guided boardwalk and indulge in unlimited sightseeing rides, including the Skyway, Cableway, and the world’s steepest railway. Fuel up with a delicious sit-down lunch at a mountain restaurant, with vegetarian, vegan, halal, and gluten-free options available.

    Marvel at the mist-shrouded Blue Mountains and spot iconic landmarks such as the Three Sisters, Mount Solitary, the Narrowneck Plateau, Jenolan Caves, and the Giant Stairway. Immerse yourself in the captivating world of Australian wildlife at Sydney Zoo or Featherdale Wildlife Park. Your group decides which! Get up close and personal with native animals, creating lasting memories of your encounter.
