The day winds down with a ferry journey down the Parramatta River to Sydney's Circular Quay. Hotel pickup and drop-off included, plus park entry and water.

What to expect

Start early to catch kangaroos before the day warms up—sightings aren't guaranteed, but the bush setting itself is worth it. After breakfast, you'll spend time at Featherdale getting close to koalas and other Australian creatures in a naturalistic park setting. The Blue Mountains section involves moderate walking through rainforest to reach waterfalls and viewpoints; the Three Sisters formation is approached from a scenic lookout. Lunch in Leura village is on your own dime. The tour finishes with a relaxing ferry ride down the river into Sydney, giving your legs a rest and your eyes a change of scenery.
