Blue Mountains, Scenic World and Featherdale Wildlife Park

  • You will be picked up from your hotel in Sydney by your tour guide and drive to the Blue Mountains through some historic old towns, heading to Scenic World.

  • Go across the valley in a Sky Car and soak in the spectacular views of the valley and Katoomba Waterfall.

  • Head into the valley on the world's steepest train ride. In the valley, you will take a leisurely 20-30 minute walk, soaking in the beauty of the rainforest, created millions of years ago.

  • Head back up by cable car and enjoy some time for refreshments and additional views.

  • Drive around to a few lookouts from where you can see the magical sandstone cliff faces and the untouched beauty of nature.

  • Enjoy some time for lunch at a quaint little village called Leura, then head to Featherdale Wildlife Park on the way back to the city. It's a unique park dedicated to native Australian wildlife, and you can even feed the kangaroos or pet a koala in a VIP encounter.

  • Spend about 90 minutes at the park, then drive to Sydney Olympic Park, from where you will catch the ferry back to the city. Sydney is a 'water city', and the ferry gives you the opportunity to see Sydney along the Parramatta River.

  • Return to Sydney at around 5:00 pm.
