Itinerary
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 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 ( At own cost ).

The Featherdale Wildlife Park was amazing! We did not love the Scenic Park. Long queues and the rides are just ok. Others seemed to really enjoy it, just not our cup of tea. Our driver was fantastic, he really helped make the trip memorable.
Tour guide/ bus driver was brilliant.. Everything from start to finish was clear well organised. Plenty toilet stops and places to get food or drinks along the tour
Highly recommend this day tour. Our driver /host, Graeme was excellent. Very friendly, informative and knowledgeable.
Excellent experience specially the train ride.
Our family had an amazing, wonderful experience with FJ Tours and especially enjoyed the professional, kindness and sincerity of our guide, Benjamin. I doubt you will be able to find a better tour of the blue mountains and scenic world anywhere else. Thank you from all of us Ben.

Very comfortable and amazing experience. Enjoyable. Jade was super engaging and pleasant, he ensured to make it a memorable experience.
Very fun! We can get to see what we expected. The tour guide is funny and helpful. The zoo and the cable train rides are fun in the Blue Mountain.
Very good day. Excellent program and timing. Guide was very accommodating. . Weather was against us but can’t help that. Dropping us off at a ferry terminal to find our own way back to our hotel was not ideal.
Must see-great experience- time too short on mountain- I would do it again Bring snacks, water Lunch time too short otherwise it’s great
