5-Star Private Blue Mountains Tour from Sydney
|
A trip to Australia is not complete without exploring the immense beauty of the spectacular Blue Mountains National Park. This unforgettable day trip from Sydney offers breathtaking views from famous mountain tops, rugged terrain bustling with spectacular wildlife, and iconic sandstone cliffs. There's no better way to experience everything the Blue Mountains has to offer than with your own private guide - let us do the driving so you can enjoy a flexible, custom itinerary tailored to you.
Is a Blue Mountains Tour Worth It?
Absolutely. As a UNESCO World Heritage-listed site, the Blue Mountains region is one of the most popular destinations for visitors to Sydney.[1] A private tour is the best way to see iconic sights like the Three Sisters and Scenic World without the crowds, while also discovering hidden lookouts and tranquil waterfalls that larger bus tours miss.[2, 3] Our expert local guides ensure you see the very best of the region, tailored to the weather and your interests.
We offer different itineraries that are good for any kind of weather and interests. You should know that during rainy days you will only see white mist in Blue Mountains from the most popular lookouts. We will make sure that you can see as much as possible during our standard 8-hour tour or an extended 9-10 hour tour (for an extra hourly charge). All itineraries can be changed; you can add or skip any attraction listed below! We are happy to show you as much as possible within the tour time frame.
