About this activity

Explore the World Heritage Blue Mountains on a private full-day tour with a local and experienced nature guide. Discover amazing lookouts that large tours miss. Explore walking tracks away from the crowds and hidden spots to enjoy the view entirely to yourselves.

Your guide plans a route covering Wentworth Falls, the Three Sisters at Echo Point, Leura village, Govetts Leap and Blackheath. It will be adapted on the day to your group's fitness level and interests. More walking or more lookouts if you prefer. The itinerary is an example and subject to change.

Before the tour, your guide will be in touch to confirm pickup and discuss your group's interests. Departs Sydney CBD at 8 am.
