First time out to the Blue Mountains and it lived up to the hype. I went solo and felt totally comfy the whole day. Our guide, Helen, was chatty and full of little bits of info (like why the mountains look blue—who knew it’s eucalypt mist?!). Weather started out chilly but warmed up fast, so bring layers. The view from Echo Point was EPIC! I wish we’d had more time at Leura village though, felt a bit rushed with only 40 mins. Still, met some coool people in my group and got tons of pics (tip: bring a portable charger, my phone almost died by mid-arvo). Would totally do it again.

Family trip with my teens and honestly, they didn’t even complain (so that’s a win). The ride out was LONG but comfy seats and our driver, Lucas, played some chill music. We saw the Three Sisters and did the short walk—bit crowded for my taste but the views were worth dodging elbows. Only annoying part was the line at Scenic World for the cableway, took like 25 mins. Otherwise, A+ day, my son even smiled for the group pic.

Went with boyfriend and had such a lovely time!! Our guide, Chen, was super friendly and told us funny stories about the mountains. The waterfall stop was my fav, just wish I wore better shoes (got a bit muddy lol). Weather was PERFECT, sunny with a nice breeze. We grabbed snacks from a tiny bakery in Leura, highly recommend the lemon tart. Would def come again, maybe with friends next time.
