THE WILDLIFE

Featherdale’s interactive native collection

The tour’s first stop is Featherdale Wildlife Park west of Sydney, where visitors can expect close-up encounters with native animals such as koalas and kangaroos; note that park entry fees (listed separately) apply.

THE LOOKOUT

Lincoln’s Rock and the Three Sisters at sunset

The evening culminates at the Katoomba escarpment: Lincoln’s Rock at Wentworth Falls is a favored photo stop, and the Three Sisters lookout in Katoomba serves as the signature sunset viewpoint for the tour.

THE WALK

A short guided bushwalk with valley views

Included is a guided grade‑3 bushwalk on the Katoomba Cascade—about 600 m and roughly 15 minutes return—offering immediate views of the Jamison Valley and Katoomba Falls before the sunset finale.
