Located 50 kilometres west of Sydney, the Blue Mountains remains one of the favourite tourist spots near the New South Wales capital. The region sure has a lot of natural wonders to offer including the impressive landscapes, sandstone formations, canyons and ridges, caves, waterfalls and rivers, eucalyptus forests, and native wildlife. Plus, the blue haze that made the Blue Mountains blue.
Aside from the scenic attractions, Blue Mountains tours enthusiasts can also engage in many different activities. Some activities require a certain level of fitness though.
Here are some fun activities to do in the Blue Mountains:
Sightseeing
Tourism is, most of the time, all about sightseeing. Seeing the place, the scenic attraction, anchors tourism; the Blue Mountains has a lot of impressive spots to view sunset. Go sightseeing on a four-wheel drive, on a horseback, or on foot for some nature walks. The spectacular views and panoramic landscapes must be the highlights to your Blue Mountains tours and adventures.
Bushwalking
Following the trails amongst bushes is fun; it gives you a chance to get closer to nature. Bushwalks or nature walks is a common activity of travellers in the Blue Mountains. Follow the trails to Katoomba Falls, Wentworth Falls, Leura Cascades, and Govetts Leap. Guided bushwalking services are available, and they are not only entertaining, they’re also informative. Trek the often-treacherous terrains to nature in its rawest and most rugged state.
Rock climbing and abseiling
Canyoning
Trek the trails, swim in the river, wade in the strong currents, jump into pools, and scramble over rocks and boulders in this extreme adventure of canyoning. The waterfalls and waterways on canyons and ridges provide a perfect venue for a canyoning adventure. Canyoning though requires a high level of physical fitness. Consider this as the ultimate challenge to your Blue Mountains tour from Sydney.
Cooling off in the natural pool
Have a family picnic
