What the day feels like

How the day unfolds

The tour departs Sydney for an early visit to an Australian animal park, then climbs into the Blue Mountains for a short, easy walk to a lookout with local commentary from your Dave. After a café-style lunch and a locally made sweet treat, the group heads to Scenic World for the steep railway down to the rainforest floor and a brief walk, then up the Cableway and across the valley on the Skyway. From Katoomba guests can walk the Prince Henry Cliff Walk to Echo Point or return by bus with the guide; the final highlight is a visit to the 3 Sisters before the drive back to Sydney for evening drop-offs.
