What Travelers Say
Rated 4.9/5 by 127 verified GetYourGuide travelers.
This day trip was amazing! The small group made the experience much more enjoyable, our guide was incredibly friendly, and the value for money was excellent. I am so glad we chose a small-group tour with a later departure. We enjoyed a stunning sunset and learned so much about the history of the Blue Mountains.

It was amazing! Our guide was so knowledgeable and genuinely kind. I would recommend this to anyone. We did some steep hiking but that is how we got to some amazing lookouts. We were able to sit and watch kangaroos up close. Another great thing: maximum 10 people. We only had 7. Don't miss this.

Great views and a wonderful experience with our guide Craig. We went to less-travelled lookouts throughout the Blue Mountains and he told us all about the history!

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from a standard Blue Mountains tour?
Most Blue Mountains tours visit the same three attractions in the same order — Scenic World, Echo Point, a wildlife park. This tour skips all of that deliberately. You get ancient rainforest walks, secret lookouts, wild kangaroos in real bushland, and your guide's 40+ years of local knowledge, with just 10 guests in the vehicle.
Will we see kangaroos?
Yes — wild kangaroos in their natural habitat are a consistent highlight of this tour. Your guide knows exactly where to look and at what time of day to see them.
Is it physically demanding?
There are some sections of steep or uneven terrain. A moderate fitness level is required. If you have concerns about suitability, contact the operator before booking — they will advise honestly.
