Blue Mountains Day Trip with Sydney Zoo, Scenic World and Three Sisters

2 Reviews

10 hours

Overview

This full-day trip is a straightforward way to get out of Sydney and see the Blue Mountains without sorting transport yourself. You’ll travel by air-conditioned coach, stop at Sydney Zoo for kangaroo feeding, then head into the mountains for the Three Sisters at Echo Point and time at Scenic World. It suits travellers who want a structured day covering a few of the big sights, with national park fees included and a local driver-guide handling the logistics.

Free cancellation

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

Why backpackers love it

It packs several major Blue Mountains stops into one day, which is handy if you’re short on time in Sydney. Having transport, park fees and a guide included makes the day easier to plan, especially if you don’t have a car. The mix of wildlife, mountain viewpoints and free time at Scenic World gives you more variety than a basic lookout-only tour. It’s not the cheapest day trip around, and the return ferry is extra, but it does cover a lot in one go.

What to expect

The day starts with an 8am departure from Sydney City and a drive west to Sydney Zoo, around an hour away. After time at the zoo, the tour continues into the upper Blue Mountains for views of the Three Sisters from Echo Point Lookout. You’ll then have about two hours at Scenic World, where you can explore lookouts, rainforest areas, valleys, sandstone cliffs and waterfalls, with your guide helping point you towards suitable walking options. There’s also a break for lunch in Leura Garden Village, where you can buy your own meal or bring a packed lunch for a picnic. The day finishes with a 5pm ferry back to the city, at your own cost.
