Your Anderson's Tours Blue Mountains adventure starts with an early morning pick-up in from our three convenient Sydney CBD meeting points. We’ll set off westward, early to spend the maximum time in the Blue Mountains, traveling through high mountain ranges and into the very heart of the Blue Mountains.

Our one day tour to the Blue Mountains offers breathtaking views taking in a selection of unique lookout points surrounding Jamison Valley. Away from the crowds you can marvel at the vast, jaw-dropping valley views while breathing in fresh, eucalyptus-infused air. Join in guided walks to see cascades and spectacular lookouts away from the large tour groups. Marvel at the beauty of the Three Sisters and listen to informative commentary from your local Blue Mountain guides.

Experience the wonder of the Blue Mountains from above (and below!) with our Scenic World passes, permitting us access to three amazing sightseeing rides and a guided boardwalk through the rainforest! Discover Stunning Views Of The World Heritage-Listed Blue Mountains from The Skyway, see Katoomba falls, and Ride on the steepest railway in the world.

A group of people walk along a raised wooden path in a lush, green forest while a guide in an orange cap leads them.

Enjoy a freshly prepared lunch at a historic mountain hotel then visit a final viewpoint for some more photo opportunities. With lunch options available catering to all dietary needs, Vegan, Gluten free, Vegetarian and Halal.

Get up close & personal with some of Australia’s most famous animals such as koalas, kangaroos, and many more at Featherdale Wildlife Park or Sydney Zoo! Learn all about these fascinating creatures and why they are so special to Australia.

Conclude your Blue Mountains day trip with a spectacular ferry voyage along the Parramatta River, entering the majestic Sydney Harbour and passing beneath the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge, before arriving at Circular Quay Wharf at approximately 5:00pm.

The tour guide Kunal was great. He was very friendly and was incredibly knowledgeable about the History of Australia, the animals and of course the Blue Mountains. Scenery and Lunch was fantastic aswell.

Patrick

I had an amazing time with our tour guide Rin. Very funny, smart, explained well and we avoided crowded areas with some good techniques. Worth the price.

Inna De Mey

We had the pleasure of joining Ron's tour on Dec 29. She is an excellent tour guide who gave us a memorable day. Rin is great at herding a diverse group, anticipating issues and time management.

Rinko and Edmond

From a tourist's perspective, this is a great way to spend a day outside the city and take in some of Australia's natural beauty. Rin was a great tour guide and made the day easy.

Ben

We had an amazing time. Kunal was informative and entertaining; his descriptions and stories made the tour a highlight of our trip to Sydney. We highly recommend him as the guide to ask for when taking a tour to the Blue Mountains.

Great low stress way to see a lot in a day. Rin was a great guide. Knowledgeable but not overbearing with non stop facts. She was very pleasant and funny and wove that into facts and history. 100% would recommend.
