About this tour
A private 7-hour sunset tour from Sydney into the Blue Mountains, timed to catch dusk at Three Sisters Lookout. You'll stop at Featherdale Wildlife Park to see koalas and kangaroos, walk sections of the Blue Mountains trail system, and visit lookouts like Lincoln's Rock before heading back to the city. Departure times shift with the season (noon or 2 pm) so you arrive at peak light. Pick-up and drop-off from your Sydney CBD hotel included.

What to expect
You'll be collected from your Sydney CBD hotel between noon and 2 pm (time confirmed after booking), depending on sunset timing that day. The drive inland takes you towards the Blue Mountains foothills. You'll stop at Featherdale Wildlife Park for close encounters with native Australian wildlife — koalas and kangaroos — before moving into the mountain terrain itself.
You'll then tackle a mix of walks and viewpoints: options include Cascade Walk and Lincoln's Rock on one route, or Govetts Leap Lookout on the other. The day builds toward Three Sisters Lookout, where you'll be positioned for sunset. After the light fades, you'll head back to Sydney, arriving around 7:30 pm.
