We will spend a few hours exploring some of the best Blue Mountains natural landscapes from the options listed below with a series of short guided wilderness walks away from the crowds:
* Immerse yourself in a Jurassic wonderland of giant tree ferns and rainforest that has changed little since the time of the dinosaurs.
* Wander through secluded groves of towering Eucalyptus trees, serenaded by birdsong as you breathe in the fresh mountain air and contemplate the region's ancient indigenous heritage.
* Dip your toes in crystal clear mountain streams that meander through rainforest canyons before plummeting dramatically as waterfalls to the valley below.
* Get up close to ancient sandstone cliffs, intricately eroded over millions of years, that are covered in a dazzling tapestry of mosses, ferns and wildflowers.
* Discover native Australian animals in their natural environment, rather than in a zoo.
One of the most spectacular of all the Blue Mountains lookouts. From Sublime Point you will gaze out from the rim of a vast canyon towards a seemingly endless wilderness of sandstone plateaux, escarpments and gorges filled with eucalyptus trees, wildflowers and Gondwanan rainforest. During the warmer months we'll enjoy a picnic lunch here in the shade of Eucalyptus trees.
Wentworth Falls is the largest in the greater Blue Mountains wilderness area, dramatically plummeting nearly 200 metres down to the Jamison Valley below.
On our way to the famous Three Sisters we will take the scenic route through the quiet tree-lined back streets of Leura Village with it's colourful gardens and historic architecture. Eventually we end up on Cliff Drive which follows the rim of the canyon through pockets of rainforest that give way to glimpses of the vast Kedumba Valley below
Descend through a beautiful rainforest filled canyon to a quiet & secluded lookout with breathtaking views of the Three Sisters and Katoomba Falls.
One of the most spectacular and least visited lookouts in the Blue Mountains. A short walk across a windswept plateau covered in wildflowers and sculpted sandstone outcrops takes us to a remote rock platform that gives you a 300 degree view of the seemingly endless canyon walls of the Kedumba Valley.
At Govetts Leap you'll gaze out at a vast and dramatic Eucalyptus filled canyon into which Bridal Veil Falls and Horseshoe Falls plummet abruptly to the Grose Valley below.
From here we'll follow the Pulpit track out to an isolated lookout from which you get spectacular views of the twin waterfalls and rainforest covered walls of the canyon. Along the way we'll cross a lovely rainforest gully with billabongs & tree ferns.
Driving across the vast beauty of Blackheath Plateau with it's wildflowers, stunted Eucalypts & wind sculpted rock formations we'll arrive at Anvil Rock lookout. From a remote rock platform that overlooks the mighty Grose Valley you'll have epic views of the vertical sandstone walls that have led some to call this place the "Green Grand Canyon"
Also near by is the "Wind Eroded Cave", a sweeping sandstone rock face intricately sculpted by wind over vast amounts of time.
One of the most beautiful pockets of ancient Gondwanan rainforest in the Blue Mountains, Coachwood Glen sits within a narrow canyon that gradually descends hundreds of meters down to the floor of the Megalong Valley. Here we'll wander amongst giant tree ferns, gardens of moss and gentle cascading streams.
Spot mobs of wild kangaroos with towering sandstone escarpments and rolling farmland fringed with stands of Eucalyptus forest as a backdrop.
As the magic hour light bathes a vast expanse of golden sandstone escarpments, we'll explore the wind swept beauty of a plateaux top covered in wildflowers and intricately sculpted rock formations, culminating in a breathtaking sunset away from the tourist hordes.
Our last stop for the day. Echo Point is the most famous of all the Blue Mountains lookouts as it gives you the best, up close view of the iconic "Three Sisters" rock formation, as well as a 270 degree view of the vast Jamison Valley. Particularly spectacular at sunset, one of the great spectacles of the Blue Mountains takes place as multiple large flocks of Sulphur Crested White Cockatoos descend back down to the valley floor to roost for the night. Watch them plummet off the escarpment all around you, tumbling and rolling like daredevil fighter pilots for hundreds of meters and screeching with pure joy the whole way down. A truly thrilling and unforgettable experience!
