What to expect

Your guide picks you up and drives you through the mountains at a pace that suits your group. At Featherdale, you'll get close to Australian wildlife in a relaxed setting. The drive includes the pretty village of Leura and stops at several high viewpoints where you can see the valley stretch out below. At Scenic World, you'll ride the cableway suspended above the escarpment—genuinely vertiginous views. The tour avoids the usual crowds because you're moving independently. Depending on energy levels and interest, your guide adjusts which lookouts you visit. The final leg offers choice: a scenic river journey into Sydney Harbour, or a straightforward drive back.

Good to know

Lunch isn't provided—pack a picnic or eat in Leura village. The route works for all fitness levels; strollers and infant seats are available. Wear layers as mountain weather changes quickly. Best views occur in clear conditions, so timing your visit around the forecast helps.
