5 thoughts on “1 Day Blue Mountains Tour”
Amazing sunset experience at the blue mountains, whilst there was a few people around. I can only imagine what it would be like during peak season. We managed to avoid the crowds, and get the best of the blue mountains. 5 stars guys.
It was a great tour with spectacular views of the Three Sisters and other scenic spots. Wonderful. Highly recommended.
Our tour guide explained many interesting things about the landscape, plants, animals and the culture of the Aborigines. Before the Blue Mountains Tour we went through a large park to look for wild animals. Jason (Guide) discovered 3 kangaroos and we had lunch in the park. The hike is awesome because you can see many beautiful plants and enjoy a beautiful view. My highlight was the sunset with lila clouds in the sky…
Easily a five star tour. We had ample time to saunter on the bushwalk trails and view the Three Sisters and Jamison Valley. Our tour guide was passionate transporting us back to the time before the coming of the Europeans to the Australia. A great experience. Thanks.
As i went on the blue mountains sunset tour in July the weather was quite cold, of course we did not let the weather get into our way and went to all the famous places in the blue mountains. Because of the weather there was little to see and therefore the tour guide changed the program a bit. This was good as everyone was freezing and liked to stay inside. However as the day almost ended we did not want to give up and therefore decided to go to a last viewing point, and how lucky were we! The clouds started to clear up and all of a sudden we got a stunning view over the blue mountains, definitely worth the wait and made our day so much better!
