Blue Mountains Day Trip from Sydney with Scenic World

2,551 Reviews

10 hours

Overview

This full-day trip packs several of the Blue Mountains’ big sights into one easy day out from Sydney. You’ll visit Featherdale Wildlife Park, stop at Echo Point for views of the Three Sisters, and head to Scenic World for its Railway, Cableway and Skyway rides. It wraps up with a ferry cruise along the Parramatta River back to Circular Quay. It’s a good option if you want to see a lot without organising transport yourself, though lunch is at your own expense.

Free cancellation

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Why backpackers love it

It’s a straightforward way to cover the Blue Mountains in a day, with transport, park fees and Scenic World rides already included. The mix of wildlife, lookouts and scenic transport keeps the day varied, and the ferry finish is a nicer return than just heading straight back by coach. For short stays in Sydney, it makes seeing the mountains much simpler.

What to expect

The day starts with pickup from selected hotels in Sydney. First up is Featherdale Wildlife Park, where you’ll see native Australian animals, then it’s on to Echo Point for the classic Three Sisters lookout. There’s time in Leura Village to buy lunch before continuing to Scenic World, where your ticket includes the Railway, Cableway and Skyway with views over Katoomba Falls and the surrounding mountains. After the road journey back, the day finishes with a ferry ride along the Parramatta River to Circular Quay. Dress for the weather, and note that luggage is not permitted on the tour.
