About this tour
A 10-hour private tour of the Blue Mountains lets you set the pace while your guide handles the driving and local knowledge. You'll encounter koalas and kangaroos at Featherdale Wildlife Park, stand before the Three Sisters rock formation with its Aboriginal backstory, and walk quieter bush tracks past waterfalls and native plants. Lunch break in Leura village gives you time to browse galleries and cafés. Your guide knows which outlooks most visitors miss, steering you toward pockets of landscape that feel genuinely remote despite being within an hour of Sydney.

What to expect
Your guide collects you from your accommodation and drives a private vehicle into the Blue Mountains. The first stop is Featherdale Wildlife Park, where handlers help you hand-feed and photograph native animals up close—a far more tactile experience than viewing from a distance. You'll then drive to the Three Sisters, a distinctive three-peaked rock formation, and your guide will explain the Dreamtime story attached to it. Several guided walks follow, ranging from short strolls to moderate hikes, moving through eucalyptus forest and past rock outcrops. Waterfalls appear along quieter trails. Lunch happens in Leura village, where you have free rein to eat, shop, or simply sit with coffee. The route finishes with lesser-known viewpoints before heading back to your hotel.
