While I was in Sydney, Australia, I went to the Blue Mountains in Katoomba. I rode the Blue Mountains Explorer Bus and went to Scenic World. I asked the Driver of the Blue Mountains Explorer Bus what stop should I explore first and he told me to explore Scenic World before the large crowds arrive. I got off at stop 7 and rode the Scenic Skyway. Rode the Scenic Railway to explore the Scenic Walkway then road the Scenic Cableway. The Blue Mountains Explorer Bus Guide said "warm, friendly family service and delicious meals" are at Café Lurline, stop 15. So the bus dropped me off at stop 15. I enjoyed lunch at Café Lurline. One employee frombCafé Lurline showed me the route to walk to Echo Point so I could see Three Sisters up close. I then got on the Blue Mountains Explorer Bus and got off at Katoomba Station. I experienced two drivers on the Blue Mountains Explorer Bus and I learned more about Blue Mountains. Thanks Blue Mountains Explorer Bus and Scenic World for a great day.

Take a 1-hr double-decker bus tour of the Blue Mountains and marvel at eucalyptus-clad valleys and waterfalls without disembarking.

Admire panoramic views of the Eastern Highlands, the world's 3rd longest mountain range, and learn about them with the live commentary onboard.

Behold the Three Sisters rock formation overlooking the Jamison Valley and embrace the sun-kissed pink sandstone cliffs of Mount Solitary.

Want to explore more? Upgrade to a hop-on hop-off pass! With 23 stops, you can be your own mountain explorer.

Fun fact: The Blue Mountains are not blue! The bluish hue is an optical illusion caused by light scattering through the surrounding eucalyptus trees.

Lovely view, very nicely explain by bus Driver during journey, bus reached timely on the every pic up point, and his behaviour is very jolly.

Embark on a 1-hr sightseeing tour to the majestic Blue Mountains and enjoy the live commentary on board from your driver guide.

Gaze at the great dividing range

The Blue Mountains are bedecked in eucalyptus-rich rainforests that have thrived for over 100 million years. The blazing Australian sun and fine oil mist from the eucalyptus leaves combine to emit a unique blue haze, earning the Blue Mountains their name. Take in views of the world's third-largest mountain range–the Great Dividing Range, also known as the Eastern Highlands. Overlooking the Jamison Valley is a rocky trio called the Three Sisters which was formed over 200 million years ago. The local myth surrounding The Three Sisters' origin is even more captivating, be sure to ask your guide about it!

Enjoy views of Mt. Solitary, Ruined Castle, and Kedumba Valley

Glance through your window and snap photos of Mount Solitary by the rugged turret of Ruined Castle. Perched on a rock platform, the King's Tableland features engravings of indigenous fauna, including Kangaroos. Situated in proximity, Megalong Valley is home to many vineyards. The valley serves as a getaway to the southern escarpment, distinguished by sandstone cliffs that line the Jamison, Kanimbla, and Hartley Valleys. Sight gorgeous Leura cascades before returning to the city in the comfort of your bus.
