The Blue Mountains are the most spectacular, the Hunter Valley the most relaxing, and a wildlife tour the best for meeting koalas and kangaroos; all are rewarding from Sydney.

Spend day one on the harbour icons, day two in the Blue Mountains, and day three on wildlife or the Hunter Valley, booking the Opera House, BridgeClimb and tours ahead.
