Blue Mountains Wildlife Full-Day Sights and Hiking from Sydney

About this experience

Travel to the World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains in a luxury vehicle and see all the highlights of the Blue Mountains National Park. You'll enjoy morning tea at Calmsley Hill Farm and get up close and personal with Kangaroos, Emus, Koala, Wombats and bird life. See the Three Sisters rock formation and hike one of the scenic tracks in the Blue Mountains. Our preferred Hike is crossing a number of valleys from Evans Lookout to Govetts Leap all the while looking out across Australia’s Grand Canyon, the Grose Valley. An alternative track may be substituted by the Tour Operator should circumstances outside of our control dictate the inability to offer this trail. Numbers are limited to 14 people for a more intimate experience.

Itinerary and highlights

Visit Sydney's oldest working farm with animal encounters & morning tea/coffee. Meet our most famous animals, including the koala, wombat, emu, kangaroo and many more. get up close with the animals for photos and feeding. Many other farm animals throughout the property.

Arriving into the Blue Mountains National Park, we visit a selection of lookouts away from the large crowds. Our small luxury buses have the advantage of visiting the best locations of the canyons, valleys, and unusual rock formations. Some locations have options for short walks.

Visit one of the best vantage points of the most famous rock formation, the Three Sisters, where only the small tour buses can access. Hear about the legend of the rock formation and the aboriginal story of why we call them this.

We collect your picnic lunch which includes a wrap/sandwich, fruit, cake/banana bread and a bottled water. You then begin your hike of the Clifftop Track, stretching 3kms with views across the Grose Valley. The hike usually takes about 90 minutes to complete. This is a moderate to challenging hike which finishes with about 800 stairs to finish at Govetts Leap Lookout. We may decide to use an alternative track, should access or safety prevent us using the Clifftop Track

Visit one of the most captivating lookouts in the region, with a waterfall dropping a staggering 180 meters to the valley beneath.
