The experience

The day starts early, leaving Sydney and arriving at Featherdale Wildlife Park after about 40 minutes. This is where you hand-feed kangaroos, hold a koala for a photo, meet wombats and tasmanian devils, and see over 2,000 Australian native animals on site. Everything from emus and kookaburras to crocodiles, dingoes and snakes. The wildlife encounters are close and hands-on, which is what Featherdale is known for.

From there, the tour heads into the World Heritage Blue Mountains to Wentworth Falls, the centerpiece of the day. The falls plunge nearly 300 metres in total, and the undercliff walk winds beneath massive sandstone overhangs along the Jamison Valley: a sheltered trail considered one of the most beautiful in the region. On clear days, the lookouts stretch more than 50 kilometres across the valley. The bushwalk includes stairs and what goes down must come back up, but the effort is built into the day's rhythm. After the walk, you have lunch and free time in Leura village, a charming mountain town with cafés, shops and a relaxed atmosphere where you can eat wherever suits you.

The afternoon takes you to Echo Point, the Blue Mountains' most famous lookout, where the Three Sisters rock formation sits against the valley's blue haze. Before returning to Sydney, you stop at Cahill's Lookout and Boars Head for final views over the Megalong Valley. Your guide is a local who knows the region and travels with you in a comfortable luxury vehicle throughout the day, keeping the group small and the pace relaxed.
