Your narrated tour begins at the Sydney pier, where you'll board an air-conditioned motorcoach for a scenic drive to Featherdale Wildlife Park. This bushland sanctuary is home to over 2,200 native mammals, birds, and reptiles. Get up close with Australia's iconic animals-hand-feed a kangaroo or emu, and enjoy a personal encounter with a friendly koala. Don't forget to stop by the gift shop for unique wildlife-themed souvenirs.
Next, journey to the Blue Mountains, ascending through dense eucalyptus forests to the village of Katoomba. At Echo Point, take in breathtaking views of the Jamison Valley, Mount Solitary, and the Ruined Castle.
Marvel at the Three Sisters, a stunning sandstone rock formation and one of Australia's most photographed natural wonders. Adjacent to the Three Sisters is the Giant Stairway, a dramatic path that descends into the valley below. Formed by millions of years of erosion, the Sisters and surrounding cliffs are constantly shaped by nature's forces.
After sightseeing, enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant.
The adventure continues with a ride on the Scenic Cableway, Australia's steepest aerial cable car. Soar 886 feet above the Jamison Valley, taking in panoramic views of lush ravines, ancient forest, and cascading waterfalls. It's a thrilling way to appreciate the spectacular beauty of this World Heritage-listed region.
