About this tour

The journey home winds down with a scenic ferry ride across Sydney Harbour.

What to expect
The day starts early with hotel pickup and a 90-minute drive to the Blue Mountains. You'll walk forest trails with your guide explaining the landscape and Indigenous history—expect moderate terrain, good footwear essential. The Three Sisters views come next, then a relaxed lunch hour in Leura's village centre. Afternoon brings close encounters at the wildlife park: kangaroos eat from your hand, you'll hold or photograph koalas. If time allows, a quick stop at Olympic Park follows. The ferry ride back to the city takes roughly an hour, a quiet wind-down after a full day.
