THE WILDLIFE

Featherdale’s native animals up close

Featherdale Sydney Wildlife Park presents one of the country’s largest private collections of Australian native animals and birdlife: free presentations, hand‑feeding kangaroos and wallabies, and a face‑to‑face koala photo opportunity are part of the day.

THE RIDES

Scenic World’s Railway, Skyway and Cableway

Scenic World is built for immersion: the itinerary includes the Scenic Railway, Scenic Cableway, Scenic Skyway and the Scenic Walkway so you experience the valley from multiple perspectives.

THE VIEWS

Katoomba Falls and the Three Sisters, then a ferry home

The tour takes you to Katoomba Falls Lookout and Echo Point for the Three Sisters, then finishes with a Rivercat ferry from Parramatta Wharf back to Circular Quay for waterline views of the harbour.
