About this tour
A 10-hour private hiking tour tailored to your fitness level and interests, with your own guide and vehicle exploring beyond the standard Blue Mountains viewpoints. You'll access trails and vistas that typical group tours skip, with all park fees and transport included. Suit active hikers after off-the-beaten-path mountain scenery rather than coach-tour crowds.

What to expect
You'll be collected from your Sydney accommodation and driven into the Blue Mountains. Your guide will assess your fitness and interests before settling on a custom route — you might tackle multiple trails at varying difficulty, or focus on fewer walks with longer stops. Expect a mix of hiking and driving as you move between trailheads; the guide will pace breaks around your needs and point out geology, flora and wildlife as you go.
The day wraps with a return drive to Sydney, with the full 10 hours covering both travel and walking time. Lunch isn't included, so you'll stop at a cafe or bring your own; water and snacks are on you beyond the bottled supplies provided.

Good to know
This suits confident hikers who want to avoid crowded lookouts and prefer flexibility over a set schedule. You need moderate to good cardiovascular fitness — steep sections and uneven terrain are standard in the Blue Mountains, and the guide won't modify routes for poor fitness levels. Not ideal if mobility or joint issues are a concern. Weather exposure varies by trail chosen; inform your guide of any weather sensitivities. Infant seats are available if needed. Budget roughly AUD$20 for lunch (not included) plus any personal snacks or souvenirs. Groups are typically small (1–6 people), so the experience stays intimate.
