About this experience

A comprehensive immersion into the fantastically scenic landscape of this UNESCO World Heritage National Park requires thorough investigation and planning. HOWEVER! Grant me, as the owner and sole guide of this little business, your trust for 9 hours and the depths of the Blue Mountains will be unveiled before you in spectacular fashion.

This exquisite destination offers such a thrilling spectrum of activities for us to explore. Relish in the greatness this region exudes so effortlessly as we navigate through verdant rainforests to valley views of astounding proportions. Experience the thrill of Scenic World, engage with native fauna at a wildlife sanctuary, marvel at the legendary Three Sisters and revitalise yourself with a tasty lunch and beer at Echo Point. This journey is crafted with the intent of guiding you through the less charted splendours that lie beyond the well-trodden paths, once your enthusiasm for the mountains’ celebrated marvels has been thoroughly indulged.

Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

A short stroll to begin our day in the Blue Mountains. Lincolns Rock offers a tremendous view across Jamieson Valley, a great place to summarise the day that awaits.

Stop 2

The Undercliff Track at Wentworth Falls would easily rank in my top 3 favourite short hikes in the Blue Mountains. Traversing a variety of terrain in a very short distance, from sclerophyllous heath vegetation to exposed sandstone slabs and lush rainforest, makes for an exceptional hike with plenty to be discovered.

Stop 3

Leura is a beautiful village in the Blue Mountains where we will stop for lunch. With a variety of dining options, with different cuisines at different price points, Leura allows travellers to dine how they wish.

Stop 4

The Three Sisters, to be seen best at Echo Point, is an essential stop-over on any trip to The Blue Mountains. Such an iconic rock formation with a backdrop vista of the valley will be a memorable stop for visitors.

*Optional*. Scenic World's iconic reputation is well earned. It is a fantastic stop-over. Descend deep into the ancient rainforest below via the worlds steeps commercial railway. For an even more vertiginous experience, sign up for the Scenic Skyway, which glides between staggering clifftops above the valley floor. Admission Fee: $50.00 per adult

Evans Lookout provides extraordinary views across the third and final valley you will see on our journey, the Grose Valley. Its rugged terrain, deep rainforest wilderness and enormous sandstone escartments makes the Grose Valley perhaps the most staggering in Australia.
