Coast Warriors is Sydney’s chilled out small group tour operator own and run by Aussie locals. We target the fitter 14 to 70ish years of age travellers though older is fine if you can bushwalk and like what you see advertised :)
This tour offers one of Sydney's highest reviewed experiences for those seeking a relaxed Blue Mountains option. Our tours are run by fun local Aussies with the aim of being less of a tour and more of a feeling of a small group of mates on a day trip.
We have now been running this adventure for many years so you can put trust that we will take you to only the best and less touristy places within the Blue Mountains. Waterfalls, amazing lookouts, Glenbrook cafe stop (locals cafe), the Three Sisters at Katoomba, occasionally a kangaroo and often birds. This is a full day in the Blue Mountains generally away from all the tourists and other mainstream tour bus locations. Aussie snacks like Tim Tams & Vegemite are on offer too.
Tour Options

Fresh made locally made roll: We offer a really tasty fresh made roll for lunch. The cafe we use caters for dietary needs. Please notify us at booking.

This is the most touristic location that we attend and we do try to attend at less busy times. We spend a shorter amount of time here as we are more of a nature experience. At this location you have free time to grab some photos of the Three Sisters rock formations. There is also a café, bar, souvenir shops and a local gem shop.

We see numerous Blue Mountains lookouts and viewpoints. We will keep this description broad as we do vary the itinerary for the most optimum lookouts taking into account weather, visibility and staying away from crowds at peak times. Check our photos and reviews. We will take you to the best spots ! Small group, small bus so we go to better locations too! **We have removed Scenic World as an option as it is too busy/lines.**No zoos **No ferry boat **No Hotel pickups and drops.

Beautiful and wonderful
Abbie was a great host, keeping us entertained with Australian facts and humour throughout the trip.
Everything ran smoothly, including the transport, lunch etc.
I loved the personalised touch of the 2 hour waterfall walk it was so beautiful. You stop at 2 main places on the blue mountains right in the heart of them. The views were incredible.
Lunch was delicious, sandwiches with fresh ciabatta made by a local bakery in the blue mountains.
We had a wonderful day, thankyou Abbie :)

Blue Mtn day tour from Sydney
Nice day trip to the blue mtns from Sydney. Emma (our guide) was fantastic from start to finish. The walk can be a little strenuous if not in shape or have elderly but worth the effort. Spectacular views!!!

Bush Walk was the highlight of the tour
Guide, Chris was very knowledgeable and professional. The description of small group is questionable- there were 28 people in the group - I was expecting a small group. The key area impacted was how rushed the hike or bush walk was. It was amazing and a bit disappointed we couldn’t stop and enjoy the beauty. There were predefined stops to allow for pictures but other than those - we had to keep up. Not a negative just wish i knew so I could reset the expectations or book different tour.

Worth it!!
Great experience. You see beautiful landscapes and learn a lot about the region. Personally wish there was just a bit more hiking (could have done without the 3 sisters lookout spot for 30 mins). Otherwise fantastic day trip!
