Itinerary
Blue Mountains National Park
After leaving the hustle & bustle of Sydney, we cross the Nepean River and start climbing our way up into the UNESCO World heritage listed Blue Mountains National Park, passing through quaint mountain villages and expansive valleys filled with Eucalyptus forests.
Wentworth Falls
Wander along the breathtaking Undercliff Track with expansive canyon views of the Kedumba Valley and see the largest waterfall in the Blue Mountains as it plunges nearly 200 metres into an ancient Gondwanan rainforest.
Sublime Point
One of the most spectacular of all the Blue Mountains lookouts. This is where we'll have our picnic lunch.
Leura Village & Cliff Drive
We will take the scenic route through the quiet tree-lined back streets of Leura Village with it's colourful gardens and historic houses. Eventually we end up on Cliff Drive which follows the rim of the canyon through pockets of rainforest that give way to glimpses of the vast Jamison Valley below.
The Three Sisters
The Three Sisters is the most famous of all the Blue Mountains rock formations. We'll give you a view of it that very few people ever do at our secret lookout.
Govetts Leap Lookout
Another spectacular Blue Mountains lookout which overlooks the deep & dramatic Grose Valley into which Bridal Veil and Horseshoe Falls plummet abruptly off the escarpment.
Guided Bushwalks
We will spend a few hours exploring some of the most iconic Blue Mountains landscapes with a series of short guided wilderness walks away from the crowds. Our aim is to take you on a combination of trails that showcase the most spectacular Blue Mountains environments and offer the opportunity of spotting native Australian wildlife in its natural habitat. The locations will be chosen by your guide and will take into account the weather & avoiding crowds. You will experience waterfalls, rainforest canyons, groves of towering Eucalyptus trees & awe inspiring views as you are serenaded by birdsong & breathe in the fresh mountain air. Your guide will reveal hidden natural wonders gleaned over a lifetime of exploring the Blue Mountains and talk about what makes this ancient wilderness so unique.
Megalong Valley
Spot wild kangaroos and other Australian wildlife in their native habitat. We will descend off the plateau and drive through a rainforest canyon into the Megalong Valley where we will look back up at the towering sandstone escarpments & across rolling farmland fringed with stands of Eucalyptus forest.
Spectacular Secret Sunset Location
With magic hour light bathing the vast expanse of golden sandstone escarpments, we'll explore the wind swept beauty of a plateaux top covered in wildflowers and intricately sculpted rock formations, culminating in a breathtaking sunset away from the tourist hordes.
Wine, cheese and other sweet & savoury snacks at twilight
