About this tour
Spend a full day exploring the Blue Mountains west of Sydney, taking in dramatic clifftop scenery and encountering Australian wildlife. This 10-hour outing combines three signature Scenic World experiences—a steep railway descent, valley-crossing Skyway, and Cableway ascent—plus optional zoo time and a stroll through Leura village. Morning tea and a professional guide are included; you'll travel by comfortable coach with all park entry and transport covered.
Highlights
- Ride the world's steepest railway into rainforest
- Cross Jamison Valley on the Scenic Skyway
- Return via Scenic Cableway with panoramic views
- Stand before the Three Sisters rock formation
- Meet kangaroos and koalas at the wildlife park
- Wander cafés and independent shops in Leura
- Optional scenic river cruise back to Sydney
What to expect
Your guide picks you up and drives you west to the Blue Mountains. After morning tea to settle in, you'll head to Scenic World and experience its three rides in sequence—the railway drops steeply through native forest, the Skyway glides you over the valley floor far below, and the Cableway hoists you back up with views expanding at every metre. You'll see the Three Sisters formation and have time to absorb the Jamison Valley landscape. If you've booked the zoo option, you'll spend an hour or two with native animals in a walk-through setting. Lunch is on you, but Leura village has good local cafés and bakeries nearby. Free time there lets you browse galleries and craft shops before heading back to Sydney, either by coach or—if you fancy it—by a leisurely river cruise down the Parramatta.
Good to know
You need moderate fitness; the rides involve stairs and uneven ground, and it's not suited to pregnancy or poor heart health. Prams work for very young children, but infants must sit on a lap during the rides. Bring a light jacket—the mountains are cooler and windier than Sydney. Food and lodging are separate expenses.
