About this experience

The Blue Mountains is an uplifted and eroded sandstone plateau with spectacular cliffs, valleys, waterfalls and blue gum forests.

As time is precious we pick you up at your hotel and head straight to the mountains.

We start the day by taking in four wonderful lookouts and vistas.

The day is flexible and from this point we have a few choices.

We can do a bushwalk of 1, 2 or 3 hours duration and upon request we will send further information on these walks.

Alternatively we can do a short rainforest walk when visit Scenic World.

If you prefer not to bushwalk at all we can visit Wentworth Falls and Leura Village or go further afield seeking out wild kangaroos and wallabies.

For lunch we have fresh 24 hour fermented bread with a range of fillings and two salads.

Other places that can be visited upon request include, Zig Zag Railway (if open), Featherdale Wildlife Park or Sydney Zoo to see native animals.

This is the private tour you have been waiting for!

Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

See one of the best lookouts in the mountains. This lookout includes sweeping views of the Jamison Valley, Narrow Neck Peninsula, Mt Solitary and the world renowned three sisters.

The Echo Point lookout is comprised of two levels with many points and balconies from which to observe the amazing blue hazed landscape.

Stop 2

To gauge the enormity of the Blue Mountains we will visit 5 different lookouts, one of which is Govetts Leap.

From the Govetts Leap lookout we will appreciate the stunning sheer cliffs, sandstone escarpments, deep canyons and the dense Eucalypt forest of the Grose Valley.

Bridal Veil Falls is located to our left as we look at the valley and drops 180 metres into the Grose Valley.

Yes another valley and one that you will be very pleased to see!

Stop 3

Experience the Skyway, aerial cable car and the world's steepest incline railway at Scenic World.

Upon reaching the valley floor we take a rainforest walk enjoying a wide range of eucalypt trees.

You may come across the ground living lyre bird which is known for its incredible ability to mimic almost any sound, including machinery!

Stop 4

There are a number of great bushwalks in the Blue Mountains. We like to visit some of the out of way places.

Get in touch and we will send an outline of the options available, including the walk time and difficulty of the walk.

Anvil Rock lookout offers sweeping views of the Grose Valley. We will also visit the nearby Wind eroded cave, an unusually large sandstone overhang carved by wind.

This rock configuration resembles the head of a boar. The lookout provides panoramic views of the Megalong Valley and Narrow Neck plateau.
