Unique sandstone formations and steep cliffs make for stunning features on the rugged mountain range, the Blue Mountains is certainly known for its dramatic landscape.

We stop for a picnic lunch and explore the region to view the amazing Jamison Valley. We will get you up close to the storied sandstone formation, the iconic Three Sisters. Take a hike along the impressive bush trails to view one of the most breathtaking waterfalls in New South Wales before settling in to watch the sun sink behind the distant mountains, casting a shadow over the rock formations and forest.

We will take a quick break on the journey home to grab some dinner (at own expense) before we go kangaroo spotting! We check out some secret spots where we are most likely to find wildlife, especially during the more active dusk hours.

Nice tour

It’s a perfect tour for me, cause I would like to visit blue mountain, but almost all the other blue mountain tour included the wildlife park, I love to see wild life in the wild, but I don’t like to see them in zoo or park, I believe they belongs to the wild! So this one skip the wildlife park, visited the blue mountain, saw nice sunset , and we spotted Kangaroo 🦘 in the wild . Thanks to our super tour guide ( sorry I heard your name is Rich but my friend heard your name Mich )

We understand your preference for seeing wildlife in their natural habitat, and we're so glad you were lucky enough to spot a kangaroo in the wild! That must have been an amazing experience. A big thank you for mentioning the beautiful sunset – the Blue Mountains truly come alive in the evening light.
