Sydney Blue Mountains Day Tour with Wildlife Park and Waterfalls

About this tour

This 9.5-hour day trip from Sydney combines wildlife encounters and Blue Mountains bushwalking. Start at Featherdale Wildlife Park to meet kangaroos, koalas, wombats and other native species up close. Then head into the World Heritage wilderness for two guided walks: a short scenic loop with valley views, then a longer trek through eucalypt forest to hidden waterfalls. Finish at the iconic Three Sisters rock formation and learn about local Aboriginal heritage. Small groups travel in modern coaches with a knowledgeable guide. All vehicle emissions are carbon-offset.

What to expect

Your guide collects you in the morning and drives to Featherdale Wildlife Park, where you'll spend time feeding and photographing Australian animals in a sprawling outdoor setting. After this, you'll head into the Blue Mountains for your first walk—a shorter stroll with established lookout points where most people stop for photos. You'll have free time in Katoomba township to buy lunch at a cafe or takeaway spot before the longer walk begins. This second hike takes you deeper into the national park on bush tracks, crossing creeks and passing waterfalls. The terrain is uneven and requires steady legs. The final stop is the Three Sisters, where your guide shares Indigenous history before returning to Sydney.
