DESCRIPTION
The Blue Mountains are one of the most visited destinations in Australia and for good reason. They are a short 2 hour drive from Sydney, making them an ideal day trip option. Being 10,000 square kilometres in size, the area has a huge diversity of landscapes, flora and fauna and utilising a small, private tour will give you the opportunity to see the area at its best.
Blue Mountains Tour Options:
- Visit Featherdale Wildlife Park on route to the mountains to get close to koalas, kangaroos and many other Australian native animals (only recommended if you do not have time to visit Wildlife World or Taronga Zoo in the city) or head to a beautiful bush locations to find kangaroos in the wild.
- Stop for stunning panoramic views at Kings Tableland at a spot that won’t be crowded with tourist buses.
- Visit Scenic World to ride the famous railway and cable car and explore the beautiful temperate rain forest that lies in the Jamieson Valley below (additional cost if desired).
