About this activity
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 hand-feed and pose for the camera with the animals.
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.
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.
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. See some of Sydney's most expensive real estate as you cruise along the river and end with the perfect harbor photo opportunities as you arrive back in the CBD.

The tour guide Mike was great fun and gave interesting facts as the day went on. The tour is family friendly with a variety of activities to suit a range of interests; sight seeing, walking, food, boutique shops, animals, scenic cable rides, river/habour cruise. Very good value for money and the coach was well equipped and comfortable. A great day out!
Time allocated for each stop is just nice. Guide provides useful information on upcoming stops throughout the journey, so do pay attention.
Had a wonderful time during this tour. The tour guide/driver was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Definitely recommend this tour.
We really enjoyed our tour with Graham. He had a lot of knowledge about the city and the tour which I think was unique. He oversold it a bit on the picture with the koala but I understand it is part of the job. I was expecting to be able to do more with the park but most people just go for the cable rides. We went for a hike but you just go down into the rainforest and your view doesn’t really change. The boardwalk hike is convenient but easy especially if you are a hiker. The ride is fun. I don’t like the roller coaster feeling and thought it was scary at first but fun. The zoo is small but has all of the essential Aussie animals. The ride back on the boat is uneventful but you get to go under the Sydney Harbour Bridge and get a water view of the opera house. It stopped at Darling Harbor which was convenient for us since we ate at Barangaroo.
This was an excellent big bus tour (vs. Mercedes Sprinter type tour). Good driver and commentary and nice stops along the way. We recently went on another big bus type tour with Gray Lines that we did not enjoy very much. The Blue Mountains were BEAUTIFUL!
We enjoyed our day trip up to the Blue Mountains with Featherdale Wildlife Park. Our driver, Aaron. was very knowledgeable and made the trip fun. We opted for no lunch, which worked with our family. There were restaurants and a Coles supermarket where we stopped for lunch. The Scenic world theme park was not crowded at the time we visited giving us plenty of time to go on the scenic rides several times. There was just a bit of haze from the controlled bush fires, but otherwise, it was an enjoyable experience for us.
Compact tour with lots of stops in places that you might not do in one day, typically. Could have used a bit more time in some stops. Guide was great.
My mom and I enjoyed our tour with Jed very much. We particularly appreciated the range of activities, from meeting and feeding the animals at Featherdale, to a beautiful afternoon at scenic world, to a nice relaxing cruise to get back to Sydney. The timing of the activities was good, allowing to avoid some of the crowds . Our guide Jed was really good, thanks a lot!
We enjoyed our day trip up to the Blue Mountains. Our driver was very knowledgeable and made the trip fun. Despite the unexpected cold weather and winds, we had fun experiencing all it had to offer. The only thing I would have liked to see was more time allotted for lunch and less time at the coffee/ice cream stop after the Blue Mountain theme park.
Only had 2 days in Sydney and this trip was recommended by family and so glad we booked. Rae was our Driver/Guide and she made the day personal and entertaining. The Wildlife Park, Scenic Park and Cruise back to Sydney were all excellent. I have no hesitation in recommending this Day Trip... you won't be disappointed.
What a great trip our driver/ guide Jed was excellent he organized everything so we squeezed in all the sites on a day excursion if we done this trip on our own we only would have seen half the top features.If you wanted to see more I feel you would have to book a hotel for a few days and start hiking early. Great trip Blue Mountains awesome if in Sydney a must see and with a little luck if you do this excursion you have Jed as your driver/guide
This tour far exceeded our expectations. The Blue mountains were amazing and our tour guide Max knew the area well, provided great tips at each stop and made the entire day fun.Perfect amount of time at each stop and short drives in between. Fabulous day.
Our Blue Mountain tour was very nice. The bus driver was on time and very nice. She allowed us to bring my husband’s go/go cart along. This allowed him to enjoy the tour. Unfortunately the weather was really chilly and misty. But our driver was very creative. The Featersyond stop went well and the park was really nice. The animals were out and about and the background was great around them. Nice stop. She included extra dialogue and even let us enjoy a local craft and food sale at a town before the Blur Mountains. The Blue Mountains was cloudy- foggy but she made sure my husband could enjoy most of the area. Overall it was a great tour. The one thing I found a problem was the way the tour ended. I never had a tour that didn’t meet you at the end and take you back to where you got on. The bus dropped us off at a boat trip down the River in Sydney. The boat ended at the area around the City Center by the Opera House area. We had to find our own transportation back to our hotel. I didn’t realize that when I booked. We had to find a cab large enough to carry my husband’s gocart snd pay for a taxi to get home.
Excellent tour, great experience with the SCENIC WORLD, the Park, the scenery was spectacular. Highly recommend it!
Not worth the trip. Spend majority of time on bus, or waiting on lines. Nice views, but not worth the trip.
Disappointed that one of the rides was not open, yet we were charged the same rate... if I visited without the tour, Scenic World was giving a discount. I blame Viator, not the tour company. They told us on the bus. bad business
