Excursión al atardecer por las montañas azules con avistamientos de canguros desde Sídney

We loved this day trip outside of Sydney. Our guide (Greg) was so friendly and knowledgeable. He made sure we had the best experiences possible and added in a bunch of great stories along the way. We stopped for a nice dinner on the way back too! The Wentworth waterfall was beautiful!

Wonderful Blue Mountain tour with Derrick! Loved the stop in Glen Brook too. Appreciated the guide led hikes & talks balanced with free time to explore on our own! Fantastic day in the fabulous Blue Mountains!

This is an excellent day trip from Sydney to the Blue Mountains area which included a moderate hike to wentworth waterfalls plus time to explore nearby areas as well as catching the sunset at Echo Point which has the view of the Three Sisters. We also got to see some wild kangaroos (one with a joey) along the way. There are plenty of breaks in between to grab lunch/snacks as there are long periods of driving to get to the mountains and getting back to Sydney. I also appreciated hearing about some of the history of the places as well as descriptions of the flora and it uses. It was a nice sunny day but very windy - so windy that the waterfall was going up :) Overall, thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

The tour guide was extremely personable and informative. The day was planned out well and the scenery at the locations were spectacular. My 12 year old son said it was one of the best days of his life!

What an amazing day! But make sure you were appropriate footwear and clothes especially footwear as the mountains and very steep! Greg our guide was brilliant and as someone with a fear for heights he made sure to help me across some of the tougher parts of the mountains!

Our guide was very knowledgeable about the local flora and passionate about the healing properties of being in the mountains. He set a brisk pace on the bush walk, with frequent stops for rest, photo opportunities and informational talks. Would have liked some more information about the indigenous history of the area. Good amounts of time were given at the stopping points on the trip. The wild kangaroo sightings were a bit disappointing.

It was a great outing. I got to see the Blue Mountains in the sunshine, and then, the next day, in the mist. I would have quite liked to also see them when it’s downright hot, and apparently the oil from the eucalyptus evaporates and shrouds the valley in the titular hues of blue, but this was just as great, with the ribbons of vapour lending the whole place a fairy tale- or Lost World-type quality. The true standout of the tour however was our guide, whose name to my great shame I’ve not managed to retain either mentally or digitally, since my phone’s memory subsequently got wiped, but he was the one who had a school friend who was snapped in half by a shark (retrospective content warning). That’s not a piece of information I necessarily would have wanted to reproduce here, but Wildlife Tours/Autopia/Get Lost simply don’t profile their guides on their various websites, so I’ve not been able to find him online (Greg? Derek? Chris? One of those three). Anyway he was one of the best guides I had during my month Down Under, radiating warmth, wisdom and generosity of spirit with every word and gesture. On the bus on the way there he made a point of making a detour to some established kangaroo haunts, and that’s where I spotted my first marsupial in the wild, which was thrilling. He also pointed out a few scattered specimens of the impressively toxicity-world-record-wielding Sydney Funnelweb Spider, which was interesting. The hike is a good, hearty one with a bit of up and down, but nothing too exacting and in any case the major trails in Australia are so pristinely well-kept you could do it in your sneakers, if not slippers. A nice, scenically dramatic change from the beach for sure!

Sadly no kangaroo sighting...

This was an amazing full day of beautiful sights. Greg was our tour guide and definitely took us on a five-star adventure. We had perfect weather--blue sky and warm, but not hot temperatures. We had wonderful views of the Blue Mountains, Wentworth Falls, and The Three Sisters--plus several other breaks including small town stops for food and souvenir shopping. We took several short hikes at various stops, but the most impressive (and challenging) was a hike to the bottom of the falls where we were able to see a rainbow in the falls! It was optional, but worth the view. A few words of caution...The walk down is made up of about eight different sets of "stairs" totaling over 400 steps--which means that you will also have to climb back up those 400+ steps! It was worth it, but we were pretty tired by the time we reached the top again. After the climb, we were positioned in a spot where we were able to take some lovely sunset pictures before heading back to Sydney at night. This is a long day (10-ish hours), but definitely a great tour covering beautiful scenery.

A special mention to our guide, Greg he was absolutely fantastic. Super friendly, funny, and really knowledgeable, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. He kept the group engaged the entire time and made sure everyone felt comfortable. Our group was approx 20-25ppl. After maybe a short hour, we stopped in a small town, with a few lunch option and toilets. What we really appreciated is how well he knows the area. Before each walk, he explained the difficulty level, how long it would take, and always gave us the option to join or skip depending on how we felt. The day was very well organised from start to finish. Since the weather forecast wasn’t great, Greg kept checking conditions throughout the day to make sure we could enjoy the mountains while staying as dry as possible. We did end up getting completely soaked but honestly it just added to the experience! The rain made the waterfalls even more impressive and magical. Due to the fog, we didn’t get to see the Three Sisters or the sunset. However, Greg checked with everyone and offered to still go if we wanted. As a group, we agreed it wouldn’t be worth it since visibility was very low, so we headed back to the city earlier. Despite the weather, we had an amazing day and would highly recommend this tour, especially with Greg as your guide!
