About this tour
A full-day loop through the Blue Mountains combining close encounters with Australian wildlife and dramatic cliff scenery. Start at Featherdale Wildlife Park to see native animals up close, then drive to Wentworth Falls for views across the valley and cascading water. The centrepiece is a descent on the Scenic Railway—one of the world's steepest—down to the valley floor, followed by a cable car crossing and a look at the Three Sisters rock formation before returning to your hotel. Seven and a half hours total.
Highlights
- Hand-feed and photograph native Australian animals at Featherdale
- Ride the world's steepest railway down dramatic cliffsides

- View the iconic Three Sisters sandstone formations
- Wentworth Falls waterfall and lookout scenery
What to expect
You'll spend the morning at Featherdale Wildlife Park getting close to koalas, wombats, kangaroos and other native species in open enclosures. Afterwards, drive into the national park to Wentworth Falls, where you'll walk to viewing platforms overlooking the water and escarpment. The afternoon centres on the Scenic Railway—a genuinely steep descent in a carriage that feels dramatic but is perfectly safe. At the base, you'll cross a cableway suspended above the forested ravine, then visit the famous Three Sisters outcrop. Lunch isn't included, so eat beforehand or bring something light.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes for lookouts and short walks. Children under 8 must be declared when booking so a legal child seat is fitted. A liability waiver is required before departure. The route involves some steep walking grades but is accessible for most fitness levels. Bring sun protection and water.
