ITINERARY:

Avoid the crowds on this relaxed exploration of the Blue Mountains! Explore
the changing moods of the Blue Mountains in the late afternoon sunlight and
capture the sunset over the rugged ranges and valleys. This tour is designed
to avoid the peak hour traffic of Sydney with later departures and returns to
maximise our time enjoying the stunning scenery and native forests.

With a late morning departure, you will have extra time to explore Sydney
before joining this tour to one of the world's most spectacular World
Heritage-listed national parks. Located 50 kilometres from Sydney CBD, the
Blue Mountains is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, and is rich in
Aboriginal heritage. A rugged mountain range of unique sandstone formations
and steep cliffs, the Blue Mountains is known for its dramatic landscape.
Surrounded by giant eucalyptus trees which creates a blue haze that lives up
to its name.

We travel onwards to explore the amazing Jamison Valley with magnificent
valley and canyon views, a major scenic attraction. Get up close to the
storied sandstone formation, the iconic Three Sisters. Hike along some
impressive bush trails toward one of the most breath-taking waterfalls in New
South Wales then settle in to watch the sun sink behind the distant mountains
casting shadows over the rock formations and eucalyptus forests. On the
journey home, take a quick break to grab some dinner before we go kangaroo
spotting! Many of Australia’s native animals are much more active in the dusk
hours and we’ll explore some of the secret spots where we are most likely to
find wildlife. Meals: N/A. Driving Distance: 250km. Walking distance: 2-4 km
