Blue Mountains Small-Group Insider Tour from Sydney
Description
Enjoy this small group day trip from Sydney with a maximum of 10 guests as you discover magnificent valleys, rivers and gorges of the World-Heritage listed National Park, that is the Blue Mountains. Experience the true beauty of the Blue Mountains off the beaten track as you immerse yourself in the spectacular wilderness areas of such a unique region in an area that you can't appreciate without getting your shoes dirty (so to speak). Starting no later then 7:30 am to avoid the traffic, you'll head straight off towards Australia's own Grand Canyon for an eventful day packed with close encounters, vistas and walks.
Tour Options
Itinerary
A trip across the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge takes us straight on the tollways to avoid the traffic.
Visit Featherdale Wildlife Park. For us, they'll open 1 hour before the official opening hours, so you will get to meet the mostly nocturnal animals long before the large crowds get here!
These falls are best viewed on our circuit walk (See next).
Guided circuit walk in the spectacular Jamison Valley, including the Wentworth Falls (approximately 1-2 hours, pending on guests' agility and the weather) to discover the true beauty of the Jamison and Grose.
Taking in two of the best views across the Jamison Valley, down to Mount Solitary, Ruined Castle, the Illawarra Escarpment and Ruin Castle, this short 15 minute walk will leave you breathless.
Poster girls of the Blue Mountains. Of course we'll go visit them - but there's so much more to see.
Picturesque mountain village - worth a photo stop when the Cherry trees are blossoming in spring!
One of the best and most impressive lookouts of the Blue Mountains, offering uninterrupted views over the Grose Valley AKA The Australian Grand Canyon. Only reachable via a section of unsealed road - rough enough to keep out the crowds. TEMPORARILY: While Pulpit Rock is closed, you will be given a choice between: - Govett's Leap to Evans Lookout Self-guided hike (medium walk with a lot of steps) - Fairfax Walk - easy walk from the Visitor Centre to Govett's Leap
Spectacular views over the Megalong Valley, and Narrowneck. Get your camera's ready!
Fantastic views deep into the Grose Valley.
This tour is designed to focus on those less visited spots taking more time to soak up the atmosphere in stunning rainforest gorges, ferny grottos, swimming holes and a series of cascades.

Our guide Catia via Dingo Tours provided an exceptional tour including the Featherdale Animal Park and Blue Mountains. Catia provided exemplary explanation of Australian history, wildlife and geographic locations. She kept us safe and informed throughout the tour. We loved the Australian music playlist she included during some of the travel time. The Mercedes tour van was very comfortable and enhanced the day. Thank you Catia.
We had a wonderful day ! The tour was very pleasant, we could experience essential viewpoints at various locations in the Blue Mountains, were on a short hike twice (Wentworth Falls, Katoomba and Blackheath). Highly recommended!
Great tour - personalized & loved the small group size. Included history & background of the area which enhanced the tour.
This is one of the best hiking tours we have been on. Our guide, Jelle, was awesome. He was very informative. He took us to all the key sites.
We had a great tour. Mark was an amazing guide and driver - very knowledgeable and entertaining. I'd definitely book this again!
Wildlife park and hiking was better than expected. Our guide was very good! We had a fun time and the bus was clean and new.
We are Active Seniors and wanted to really get into the mountains not just see them from a train or van. We joined a family of three and the five of us all had different levels of fitness. Ben our Guide, made sure everyone felt successful with some running ahead to the bottom of the waterfall and others content to stop part way and rest in the shade. We thought lunch would be provided but instead we stopped at a charming restaurant with great food which we paid for individually. It turned out that the service was very slow so Ben gave us extra time at the end so we could see all the look out points. We really felt we saw Australia at its best and recommend this tour highly.
We had a great time on this tour. Our guide was pleasant and informative. Seeing the amazing animals of Australia was a highlight and the Blue Mountains breathtaking.
Wear good hiking shoes. The scenery was amazing and beautiful. Our Tour Guide was excellent and was full of great information about the area.
We had a great day in the blue mountains. It was extremely busy but Katja did a great job at helping us find quieter spots but still see the top sights. She was very knowledgeable and so we learned a lot.
