The Blue Mountains Deluxe Day is a real journey into the heart of a unique World Heritage Region. From temperate rainforests to towering sandstone escarpments, you’ll see and experience it all. Let the landscape work its wonders and become part of you for a lifetime.

Upon departing from the city, you will travel directly to the Blue Mountains and your first stop of the day is at Calmsley Hill Farm a working farm also home to Kangaroo, Emu, Wombat and Koala. Enjoy morning tea and time to wander at leisure.

From Calmsley Hill you will continue to ascend the Blue Mountains via the highway. Visit one of a range of stunning outlooks of the Jamison Valley seeing beautiful vistas. Where possible this will be away from the crowds of tours that visit the mountains each day with other operators, thus you will have the opportunity to enjoy a stress and hurry free environment taking in the views and information imparted by your guide.

Continuing on you will arrive at Eaglehawk Lookout, a remote lookout points away from the crowds for views of the famous 3 Sisters. Whilst the Blue Mountains features so much more than this natural attraction you can’t help but admire the unquestionable beauty of this amazing rock formation. The character of the Three Sisters changes throughout the day and throughout the seasons as the sunlight brings out the magnificent colors. Here your guide will discuss the legends behind this famous rock formation and time available for you to take some great photos.

Next you will be taken around the mountain towards the village of Blackheath and our lunch venue the Boiler House Cafe. Here in this relaxed venue with stunning views, you can enjoy a 2-course lunch with tea or coffee. All diets are catered for (excluding Kosher Meals). Please note that beverages can be purchased at your own expense from the Bar.

The afternoon is spent visiting a selection of lookouts. Once you clap your eyes on the view from Govetts Leap you’ll know why it’s one of the most famous lookouts in Australia. The magnificent waterfall drops a whopping 180m to the base of the cliff. If you’re not mesmerized by the dancing waves of water spray, you’ll be transfixed by the sweeping views down the valley to the Grose Wilderness.

Then take a brief stop to enjoy a glass of sparkling wine or orange juice at the delightful Mt Tomah Botanic Gardens, where you can enjoy the sweeping views across to Sydney before traveling down the Bells Line of Road to arrive back at your hotel approximately 4:30pm.

Sydney’s newest waterfront suburb is a spectacular urban renewal project transforming the docklands into a culturally rich parkland and entertainment precinct.

At the northern end sits Barangaroo Reserve, a sprawling parkland offering spectacular views across the harbor, an entirely Australian native garden, walking and cycling trails, tranquil coves and peaceful picnic spots. Join a walking tour through the picturesque reserve and learn about the different plants and their uses, led by a knowledgeable Aboriginal guide.

To the south, world class dining and retail spaces featuring award-winning architecture sit alongside a previously inaccessible harbor foreshore. Explore over 30 restaurants and bars, with a scenic restaurant strip along the waterfront Wulugul Walk featuring Sydney’s hottest eateries. Graze on exquisite share plates from the Turkish mezze bar Anason, or treat your sweet tooth to the pastries from Bourke Street Bakery.

The precinct is named after Barangaroo, an indigenous Cammeraygal clan leader from the Eora Nation living around the north harbor at the time of European colonization. She was revered as a free-spirited and powerful Aboriginal woman, proud of her spirituality and culture. She refused to partake in the early European settler way of life, and when she finally visited settlers with her husband Bennelong, she ‘dressed up’ painted in white clay with a bone septum through her nose.

Just as Barangaroo held tightly to her indigenous roots, so does Barangaroo Reserve. This vibrant harborside precinct is a testament to the harmonizing blend of urban renewal and nature.
