Itinerary
Featherdale Sydney Wildlife Park
After meeting your guide at your centrally located CBD hotel, travel approximately 45-minutes towards Featherdale Wildlife Park, one of Sydney's favorite native wildlife sanctuaries home to iconic Australian animals such as kangaroos, koala's, and a range of stunning native bird-life. Here you'll have the opportunity to take a selfie with a koala, get up close for a face-to-face encounter as you pose for the camera with the animals.
The Three Sisters
Next, make your way to Echo Point Katoomba, the perfect vantage point for the iconic Three Sisters; a stunning natural rock formation named after an Aboriginal legend which describes a tale of three sisters turned to stone. Here, let your guide take you back in time as you explore the legends of the local Indigenous people and discover the history surrounding the rock formation. You'll also have time for the perfect photo opportunity as you look-out across the Jamison Valley and view the unique blue haze that covers the skyline.
Scenic World Blue Mountains
Up next is Scenic World, one of the Blue Mountains most frequently visited attractions. For the nature lovers, soak up the fresh air and see the world heritage listed rainforest canopy as you make your way through the lush greenery along the boardwalks. If you're up for a little more adventure, scenic world is home to the worlds steepest incline railway as well as an incredible scenic cable-way ride. The cable-way is a fully enclosed glass floor cabin providing unique views over the valley out to the Three Sisters, Orphan Rock, Mt Solitary and the stunning Katoomba Falls. You'll feel like you're flying as you travel over the breathtaking Katoomba Falls - a sight you won't want to miss. If the glass floor isn't for you, there is solid flooring with seating available around the outskirts of the cabin.
Parramatta River
End your day on a high as you bypass the peak hour traffic with a relaxing cruise down the Parramatta River back to either Darling Harbour or Circular Quay.

Highly recommend this bus tour.
Featherdale Wildlife Park was the highlight of this tour. We saw a Tasmania devil and a cassowary. Magnificent animals! Blue Mountain glass sky cars were pretty cool too. If you enjoy being in a big tour bus while the guide points out interesting details I highly recommend this tour!

Great day!!
We had a wonderful, full day of fun and adventure! Our guide, Joan, was great. He was fun, informative and made it soooo enjoyable. We loved it!

magical blue mountains
This was a great day! We went to the featherdale wildlife area and got to pet kangaroos and koalas and see many other animals. We stopped in an area that had lots of choices for lunch before moving on to the three sisters and scenic world. We had great views from the scenic world rides. We had a small group bus which I prefer. Our tour guide. Aaron was wonderful and had lots of information.

Went on the Blue...
Went on the Blue Mountains tour with the family today. Amazing sites and experience. Jed, the bus driver was very informative and had great knowledge of the Blue Mountains and Australia in general, as well as good humour. Definitely recommend

From penguins to rain forests…
A full day experience starting with a visit to a small lovely zoo. The penguins and pademelons were so cute! Lots of cuddly koalas too. A pleasant drive into the mountains and almost 3 hours at Scenic World. Our guide Aaron was delightful and a champion Dad joke teller!!

Highly recommended.
The day was packed with outstanding visits, starting with a delightful stop at Featherdale Wildlife Park, where there were a good selection of birds and animals, and where we took advantage of being photographed with a koala (at an extra cost). The journey to the Blue Mountains was quite long, but well worth it for the vast and stunning scenery, including a lunch stop in Leura which was a pretty town and worth a walk round to explore. The Scenic World trip was a great addition, as was the stop in Katoomba to view the Three Sisters and to get a different perspective over the Blue Moutains, truly an awe inspiring wonder of nature. The day ended with a boat trip back to Circular Quay in Sydney on the Parramatta River, which was the perfect way to end the experience. This is one tour that shouldn't be missed and is highly recommended.

Beautiful landscapes
They picked me up on time, and the guide was very kind, but we spent more than an hour to get out of the city. The places visited are wonderful, but the time at each stop was scarce, especially at scenic world, where I did not get to see important points. Although we did not arrive at the indicated ferry due to the delay of other passengers, it caught my attention that we had to pay for the return ticket, when they indicated that the tour ended in the city.
K
Waste of money
Seriously a waste of money. We spent the morning at Scenic World and wished we could have refunded our money. A weird combination of dinosaurs, walkways and rides.
