Blue Mountains Wildlife Full-day Sights And Hiking From Sydney

Enjoyed the sites and stories. Wished we had a table or seat for our picnic lunch.

Helder was a great tour guide 10/10

Overall experience was fantastic. Well worth doing the hike it was the icing on the cake.

Beautiful day in the Blue Mountains with our tour guide, Helder. Away from crowds, perfect weather (October), stunning viewpoints, challenging but doable hike. Wish we had more time to spend in this world heritage site. Justifiably designated!

Karyn provided a fact filled and fun itinerary. We had a diverse group and Karyn accommodated all of our needs. We were able to more hiking than had been planned. A delightful day! Karyn met our every need.

We had a great time with Helder, amazing tour guide!

We had a wonderful time with the drive and hike. Our guide was awesome and knowledgeable.

This tour was one of our favorite activities on our Australian vacation. We got to get very close to the wildlife that’s unique to Australia, and we were in a small enough group that it was very personalized. Helder was a great tour guide that made the trip fun and informative.

Helder our guide was excellent and so passionate about his home country, the countryside, and all the animals that reside here . His knowledge was excellent. We were looked after very well with great commentary along the way. Thank you for an excellent day. My personal highlight was the koala.

Karen was helpful, informative, and an excellent mountain road driver! We appreciated the care that she gave us during our travels.

The trip was fine except the hiker’s sandwich lunch. Three out of four hikers couldn’t finish their sandwiches as they were of poor quality. My gluten free (allergy) sandwich came with a gluten cookie. They left out the driver’s order. It was clear the restaurant does not care about quality. This is a new restaurant for you and we suggest you keep looking further for a better option.

Very nice trip with a smaller group and bus made it possible to reach many beautiful places in a short time. We rally recommend to do the hiking!

We had a really fun trip to the Blue Mountains and our guide Lucia was very knowledgeable and accommodating. We skipped the hike due to mobility issues but still really enjoyed the day.

Our family had an amazing day with Helder. He was a terrific guide. He shared his knowledge with us about all the sites. Because of him we had the best day.

Helder is the best in the world! He is a great tour with international knowledge. He deserves a pay raise with weekends off

Here’s a polished review you can post for the Blue Mountains tour: We had the most incredible Blue Mountains tour celebrating my mom’s 50th birthday! The entire day was unforgettable — from the stunning scenery to the amazing experiences along the way. We especially loved stopping in the charming local town and visiting the zoo, where we got to go inside the enclosures with wallabies and see koalas up close. It made the trip feel so personal and special. A huge thank you to our wonderful tour guide, Helder, who truly made the day even better. He was so knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly talented at photography — he captured beautiful photos for us throughout the tour that we’ll treasure forever. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great experience. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Australia, especially if you’re celebrating a special occasion!

We did the Blue Mountain Wild life day. Dont do any real hiking, our trip wasnt listed as above. It wa Wild Life Day. Really great experience, our guide Karyn was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful. A well planned day. Thoroughly recommend trip. One comment we would make is it would have been nice to have a 5 minute icebreaking introduction and interaction, just to get to know the other travellers on the minibus before we set off. We were a small group and it would have enhanced the day. One lady was on her own and while we were all friendly it would have helped her feel welcome from the outset. It is difficult on a trip like this to chat much and while we are chatty and friendly people, it isnt always easy for the passengers to start a conversation. This 5 min introduction, who we were, where we were from just helps to bond a group of people together.

Tyler went out of his way to make sure we all had great adventure and very knowledgeable about everything in the tour.

The tour guide was amazing; he took care of us as if we were his children. The experience was so special that it was impossible not to enjoy every moment.

Matt was an unbelievably great guide. He provided wonderful information about Australia, Sydney, and the Blue Mountains. He was not just knowledgeable but also entertaining. He made this one of the best tours we’ve taken in Australia.

Great tour. Tour guide extremely knowledgeable and tour pace was great.

We had a lovely day at the blue mountains, saw lots of wildlife and views. The farm was a lovely surprise and a great addition to the trip. Helder was very informative and had lots to tell us. Would recommend!

I suggest more communication about pickup and tour logistics. New shocks in the rig would be helpful. Great commentary on birds and passion on birds! 5 stars overall.

The tour guide for this tour was great, Paul was very knowledgeable and fun to talk to. He took care of us and had great stories about the area as well as history. What was disappointing was almost everything else. Not all tour activities were included: we did not stop at all the stops and we’re giving no explanation why and we’re not given any complementary wine or refreshments at the botanical gardens. The botanical gardens was also a very short stop, we barely had time to walk through it. The animal sanctuary was the highlight. Overall, I think this tour is extremely expensive for what you get (e.g.: lunch is just a lunch is just a turkey sandwich and you don’t even get a break to eat it, you’re just expected to eat it on the bus.) This should be half the price at most.

Awesome experience! Beautiful scenery! The one hundred minimum character requirement for this review was only bad thing.

Our guide Karen was absolutely the best. We had a great time and highly recommend this tour. The botanic grass just outstanding.

Great trip to the Blue mountains and overnight stay at the Carrington Hotel. Both our driver there, Nigel and our driver back to Sydney, Tyler were great. Lots of great information and chat and smooth driving.

We had a wonderful day. A full day of hiking and a visit to the Botanical Gardens. Our guide was very knowledgeable and supportive.

Ian was a great tour guide. Lots of info and history about the area. Stop offs break up the drive nicely and felt around the right length. Nice filling lunch provided. Plenty of water provided for the hike as it is hot on the trail and there are some steps to climb up. Relaxing day out. Didn’t run into any crowds. Small group of around 14 people.

Tour guide, Karyn was exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly. The day was well organised and there were different stops to the Blue Mountains area. Learned so much about Australian history, culture and biology. Highly recommend.

Guide was very knowledgeable on history where names came from and the sights. Friendly and on time. Had a great time and time few by.

I found the tour to be the perfect length and pace to give a flavor of the Blue Mountains. The hike was perfect burned exercise in the middle of the tour, it’s about 2.5km and take between 45 and 75 mins depending on fitness level. My guide Helder was excellent, full of great information and all with a touch of warmth and humor

Helder our guide very informative and pleasant. Enjoyed the tour very much Give him a raise . We really saw a lot in one day , they provide lunch . Not only plants , botanical gardens , the farm with kangaroos, Koala, and more , the Grand Canyon , waterfalls . And cockatoos as wild all over . He made sure to explain everything and answer our questions. He was on time all day !

We were lucky enough to have Karyn be our guide twice - once for this tour and for the half-day Sydney tour two days before. I am not exaggerating when I say she was one of the highlights of the Sydney leg of our vacation. She added amazing context to everything we were seeing and never made us feel rushed. It is great seeing the city through a local's eyes. Highly recommend.

Our guide Nigel was great. Lots of stories about the areas through which we passed. Answered all our questions. Very relaxed personality. Wonderful hike, just what I had hoped for.

We enjoyed the Blue Mountain tour that started with a visit to Calmsley Farm near the Blue Mountains. A staff naturalist did an excellent job of telling about and showing us kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, emus, wombats, a camel and more. The snack of coffee and cookies was very much welcomed. From there we went to the Blue Mountains and visited the scenic Three Sisters overlook. Not long afterl, my wife and I and another couple were dropped off for a three kilometer hike along the cliff face. It was a beautiful day and the distant cliff faces were stunning. The hike was moderate, with a steep climb (lots of stairs) back to the pickup point at the end - sturdy shoes are recommended. We stopped briefly to eat a very good box lunch provided as part of the tour. From there we went to the Blue Mountain Botanical Garden for a brief visit. Traffic was heavy so it was a long drive back to Sydney.

Great small group day trip! Caryn was a fantastic guide - she provided an extensive amount of knowledge and information about Australia and the Blue Mountains specifically throughout the day, she had an awesome sense of humor and she was a great driver!

Loved this tour Weather wasn't cooperative, but our guide Helder made the tour fun and interesting Katoomba Falls was beautiful, and visiting with Cockatoos was wonderful!

Helder was an amazing tour guide. He rerouted the tour to get the best views, due to the rain and fog. We were able to see all the views, the three sisters were breathtaking. Even though the day was dreary, it was a fantabulous day.

Helder did a phenomenal job. He was great with telling us a lot of stories about where we going as well as being very humorous. He also adjusted things so we could work around the weather and clouds that kept us from seeing the falls in the early morning. After a bit of shopping we circled back to see the magnificent views. He was very conscious to make sure we all knew where to find the coach. Over all a great job !!!

On time, great lunch and morning tea and coffee. The Calmsley farm was great even after the wind damage. Blue Moutains were spectacular and the hike was amazing. Our driver and guide Andy was the best part and really made us feel welcome and too care of us.

This was a great chance to see the Blue Mountains. We chose the tour that had a hike and picnic lunch, and I was really glad we did, because while we got to get out to explore the mountains, the rest of the tour went to a restaurant for lunch and never really got an opportunity to see the mountains up close, just little overlooks. They probably had a better lunch than ours, but it was worth it. The hike took us just about an hour and it did finish with a pretty steep climb (on steps), but it wasn't too taxing otherwise. The drive to and from was longer than I expected (about 1.75 hours on the return), but it was still worthwhile.

Fantastic vistas and photo ops. Time to explore Richmond - cutest little town! The wildlife sanctuary is intimate and close up, holding koalas are no longer allowed. Small group, comfortable seating and Paul was a wealth of information. You can see his passion for his work.

A great day spent in the Blue Mountains. So many magnificent views. Our driver, Billy, was awesome and so knowledgeable about plants, wildlife and history. Kept to the schedule and timed everything just right.

Our guide was so knowledgeable and friendly. Everything was on time. Lunch was delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed the day!

Billy the tour guide was excellent at providing context both from an entertaining as well as educational perspective. Great variety and packed itinerary.

We had one full day in Sydney so we had to make choices with our time. We prefer nature and active exploration, so for our first time on this beautiful continent it was the perfect option. We also wanted to avoid tourist traps. This was unequivocally the right choice. Eamonn had us in good hands the whole day and was very knowledgeable about each stop. The hike is very manageable but be aware it is not a kiddie ride. Lunch was very good. The veg option was better and tastier than the regular.

This was a great experience and it was made extra special by our tour guide Karyn, immensely knowledgeable about the history and shared with us.

We had a great time on our Blue Mountains Wildlife Sights and Hiking. Our guide Aemonn, was very informative and went out if his way to make sure we had a good time. He even added a side trip when it appeared the Three Sisters would be covered in fog (the fog cleared in enough time). The hike was a little strenuous with a number of steps to descend and climb, but the views were spectacular. The trip left us wishing we could spend more time in the Blue Mountains, but given the distance from Sydney, it afforded a nice taste of the area.
