This full-day bus tour lasts about 10 hours and includes a cruise on the Parramatta River. Guests are picked up from designated points in Sydney’s city center and travel on air-conditioned buses accompanied by knowledgeable guides who provide detailed commentary throughout the day. The tour first stops at Sydney Zoo for a 90-minute visit to see native Australian animals like kangaroos, koalas, dingoes, wombats, Tasmanian devils, and echidnas, as well as African and Asian species including cheetahs, lions, red pandas, elephants, and Sumatran tigers. Next, the group visits a viewpoint at Kings Tableland, offering a quiet spot to see the Blue Mountains wilderness away from larger buses. After this, there is a 45-minute bush walk to Wentworth Falls Lookout, one of the Blue Mountains’ well-known lookout points; some days this stop is replaced by a visit to Leura Cascades. The tour then allows an hour of free time in Leura village, where visitors can browse shops and choose from various lunch options. The tour continues to Katoomba, the main town of the Blue Mountains and access point for major attractions. At Scenic World, guests spend about 90 minutes riding Australia’s highest cable car (Skyway), the largest cable car (Cableway), the steepest passenger railway in the world (Railway), and walking along the longest elevated boardwalk in Australia through a temperate rainforest. A brief 15-minute stop at The Three Sisters rock formation includes hearing Aboriginal legends about the site. On the return trip, the bus passes Sydney Olympic Park and Homebush Bay, the location of the 2000 Olympic Games. The day concludes with a 50-minute cruise on a Sydney ferry along Parramatta River and Sydney Harbour, arriving back at Circular Quay in the city center. Entrance fees, the harbour cruise, an experienced guide, air-conditioned transport, and pickup from scheduled city locations are included. Personal expenses are not covered.
