Blue Mountains Small Group Tour with Waterfall Walk & Fresh Lunch
Description
Coast Warriors is Sydney’s chilled out small group tour operator own and run by Aussie locals. We target the fitter 14 to 70ish years of age travellers though older is fine if you can bushwalk and like what you see advertised :) This tour offers one of Sydney's highest reviewed experiences for those seeking a relaxed Blue Mountains option. Our tours are run by fun local Aussies with the aim of being less of a tour and more of a feeling of a small group of mates on a day trip. We have now been running this adventure for many years so you can put trust that we will take you to only the best and less touristy places within the Blue Mountains. Waterfalls, amazing lookouts, Glenbrook cafe stop (locals cafe), the Three Sisters at Katoomba, occasionally a kangaroo and often birds. This is a full day in the Blue Mountains generally away from all the tourists and other mainstream tour bus locations. Aussie snacks like Tim Tams & Vegemite are on offer too.

Itinerary
Morning stop in the lower Blue Mountains town of Glenbrook. A beautiful little town with a few Aussie cafes, toilets and shops. We have a short stop here for coffees and toilets on our way to the upper Blue Mountains where we spend majority of our day
This is the location that we do our 90+ minute waterfall nature walk and usually have lunch afterwards. The guide will be checking the weather and decide the best place to have lunch. The hike has a harder section however you can choose to skip this part. Lunch is included and you can check the pictures.
This is the most touristic location that we attend and we do try to attend at less busy times. We spend a shorter amount of time here as we are more of a nature experience. At this location you have free time to grab some photos of the Three Sisters rock formations. There is also a café, bar, souvenir shops and a local gem shop.
We see numerous Blue Mountains lookouts and viewpoints. We will keep this description broad as we do vary the itinerary for the most optimum lookouts taking into account weather, visibility and staying away from crowds at peak times. Check our photos and reviews. We will take you to the best spots ! Small group, small bus so we go to better locations too! **We have removed Scenic World as an option as it is too busy/lines.**No zoos **No ferry boat **No Hotel pickups and drops. As we Maximise our time in nature in the Blue Mountains which is what our guests want. Please book elsewhere if desired.
A really cool lookout overlooking Megalong Valley. This lookout has no fences which makes it really unique.

A wonderful day out under the guidance of tour guide Zac. Very friendly and helpful, timing of everything was perfect and lunch included was lovely. Would highly recommend.
Fantastic day trip led by Chris the guide. Nice easy going pace, great scenery and nice stop in Glenbrook to grab a coffee and breakfast. The views are amazing. For me great value for money. Chapeau to our informative and knowledgeable guide Chris.
We had a fantastic experience on the Blue Mountains tour. The scenery was breathtaking, the itinerary was well organised, and our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. A memorable day trip that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Sydney!
Wonderful walk to the falls. Very informative information about the area. Great day out
Participated in a group tour led by Abbey to Featherdale Wildlife Park and the Blue Mountains today. Had a GREAT experience — the trip was smooth and well organized, there was just the right amount of instruction and background baked into a trivia game during the bus journey, and the stops during the day weee thoughtfully planned for a large and diverse group including older adults, college students, and a couple of kiddos. Abbey was the quintessential host and guide, helping to gauge the group’s ability and interests, checking in with individuals along the way, offering to take (lots of!) group photos, and making sure that we got lots of stops and flexible tour options. Excellent, all around!
Tour guide very knowledgeable. Very tasty lunch included. Try the kangaroo meat pie. Would highly recommend
If you want to do a Blue mountains tour that is more than just stopping at overlooks, this tour is great! We did a fantastic hike to Wentworth falls. It helped that we had clear and blue skies! Abby, the guide was great
A masterfully organized excursion in a small group with very nice stops and anecdotes. I highly recommend.
Top-notch guide, small group, magnificent excursions.
Excellent day: culture, hiking, and viewpoints with a picnic as a bonus. Zac, the guide, is truly excellent!
