Blue Mountains Day Tour with Bushwalks and Featherdale

336 Reviews

10 hours

Overview

This full-day Blue Mountains trip is geared towards travellers who want more than a quick coach stop at the main lookouts. You’ll explore the national park with a local guide, visiting places like Wentworth Falls, Jamison Valley, Echo Point and the Three Sisters, along with quieter lookouts, rainforest trails and mountain villages. Featherdale Wildlife Park entry is included, so the day mixes classic Blue Mountains scenery with a chance to see Australian wildlife. It’s a small-group tour capped at 23 people, which makes it a better fit if you’d rather avoid a big-bus feel.

Free cancellation

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Why backpackers love it

It’s a straightforward way to see a lot in one day without sorting out trains, buses or park logistics yourself. The small group size helps it feel more personal, and the mix of guided walks, village time and wildlife entry gives you a fuller day than a basic lookout-only trip. It’s not the cheapest option and you do need to be reasonably fit, but if you want a social day trip with actual time outdoors rather than just photo stops, it’s a strong choice.

What to expect

Expect a long but well-paced day out from Sydney, with a flexible itinerary shaped around the weather. Along the way, your guide takes you to a mix of major viewpoints and less crowded spots in the Blue Mountains. There are guided bushwalks through rainforest and valley areas, plus time to stop in Leura or Katoomba and explore on your own. Bushwalks usually run for 10 to 45 minutes and involve a medium level of fitness, with uneven ground and some steps, so decent walking shoes are worth it. The day also includes a visit to Featherdale Wildlife Park before returning to Sydney around 6 to 6:30pm, depending on traffic.
