Full Itinerary
Avoid the crowds on this relaxed exploration of the Blue Mountains! Discover the changing moods of the Blue Mountains in the late afternoon sunlight and capture the sunset over the rugged ranges and valleys. This tour is thoughtfully designed to sidestep Sydney’s peak-hour traffic with later departures and returns, allowing you more time to immerse yourself in the breathtaking scenery and tranquil native forests.
With a late morning departure, you’ll have extra time to explore Sydney before joining this tour to one of the world’s most spectacular World Heritage-Listed National Parks. Located just 50 kilometres from Sydney CBD, the Blue Mountains is a haven of diverse flora and fauna, steeped in Aboriginal heritage. Known for its dramatic landscape of rugged sandstone formations, sheer cliffs, and giant eucalyptus trees that give the region its iconic blue haze, the Blue Mountains promise a visual feast at every turn.
Our journey begins with a quick refreshment stop in the charming towns of Glenbrook or Leura, the gateway to the Blue Mountains. These picturesque villages are full of character, offering a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Guests can explore local cafes and boutique shops and purchase something to eat at their own expense while soaking up the historic charm of these iconic mountain towns.
Afterwards, we’ll set out on a scenic bush exploration as we search for kangaroos in the wild. Many of Australia’s native animals are most active during the dusk hours, making this the perfect opportunity to spot kangaroos hopping through the underbrush or grazing in open fields.
Next, we’ll explore the stunning Jamison Valley, a major scenic attraction known for its breathtaking valley and canyon views. We’ll get up close to the iconic sandstone formation, the Three Sisters, and hike along impressive bush trails toward one of New South Wales’ most awe-inspiring waterfalls. Then, embark on a 90-minute nature walk down to the base of Wentworth Falls—equivalent to 8 flights of stairs down and back up—as you immerse yourself in the lush native forests and the soothing sound of cascading water.
Finally, we’ll visit either Echo Point or Lincoln’s Rock, two of the most iconic viewing spots in the Blue Mountains. Here, you’ll settle in to watch the sun sink behind the distant mountains, casting dramatic shadows over the rock formations, eucalyptus forests, and valleys. The panoramic views are simply unforgettable—a perfect way to end a day of exploration.
On the journey home, we’ll pause for a quick break before continuing this unforgettable adventure back into Sydney in the evening. This scenic tour is centred around the sunset experience, so we maintain flexibility with our return time to ensure you can fully enjoy this magical moment throughout the year.

Our commitment
At Autopia Tours, we actively promote the protection of flora and fauna on our Sydney Tours. It is our duty to ensure there is minimal disturbance to this World Heritage Listed region and the species that call it home. Cultural sensitivity and respect for traditional owners should also be shown at all times.
Part of our responsibility is educating guests on minimal impact practices and the importance of ensuring the safety of wildlife and the environmental sustainability of the destinations we visit.
Learn more about EcoTourism: https://www.ecotourism.org.au/
Traditional Owners
Autopia Tours would like to begin by paying our respects to the traditional owners of this country, with specific acknowledgement to the Wurundjeri people. Please be conscious and respectful of the sensitivities of indigenous culture and the spiritual connection they have with the land at all times.
Wildlife Encounters
The natural behaviours of wildlife are to be respected and not interfered with. When viewing wildlife, people should take care to avoid rapid or sudden movements, which could frighten the animal, and should keep noise to a minimum and refrain from touching, petting or feeding all wildlife including birds. Contact with people can introduce diseases to wildlife and can cause them to become aggressive.
Wildlife should not be handled or fed, unless by certified wildlife handlers. Feeding wildlife can alter their natural foraging behaviour and can lead to disease or illness through contact with people and the introduction of foods that are harmful to their digestive system. Feeding wildlife can also cause them to become aggressive toward people.
Wildlife that appears to be in distress, injured or in danger should be reported immediately to the appropriate authority, such as your Guide/Tour Leader, a National Park Ranger or Visitor Centre Staff.
Protecting our National Parks
People should remain on designated walking tracks, behind safety barriers/fences and follow all directions given by the guide/tour leader. Venturing off these can alter fragile ecosystems and can harm wildlife shelters and native vegetation. There are other dangers to be aware of too, such as cliff edges, unstable rock formations, overhanging tree branches and slippery ground cover. Remaining on tracks ensures safe visitation for guests and the environment.
No flora or fauna should be removed from their natural setting. This includes dead wood, fallen leaves, flowers and so forth, as they form part of the ecosystem of the region and their removal could cause a disturbance.
Waste Management
All buses are fitted with waste bins. No organic waste should be disposed of onto the ground. Although organic, items such as banana peels, apple cores, bread and other food scraps, are not natural/native to the region and can introduce pest species, diseases or harm to wildlife if found and eaten. We recommend all passengers bring a water bottle with you on our Grampians Tour. Purchasing bottled water contributes large amounts of plastic into the landfill. Therefore, we ask guests to bring their own bottle, as there is access to water refill stations available on our vehicles. Please ensure you stay hydrated throughout the tour to reduce the risk of sun exposure and dehydration.
First Aid
All our guides carry a current Level 2 First Aid certificate. Please report any accident or illness to your tour guide. We recommend anyone with an existing medical condition to carry their medication with them on tour and to notify their tour guide at the beginning of the tour.
If you are a smoker! We ask you to refrain from smoking whilst in the company of other passengers and limit it to designated smoking areas. Smoking is not permitted on any of our vehicles, or in any type of accommodation including permanent campsites. We make frequent ‘comfort stops’ to allow free time for guests but cannot guaranteed smoke breaks. Please ensure you dispose of your cigarette butt responsibly and appropriately.

7 thoughts on “1 Day Blue Mountains Tour”
My husband and I went on this tour near the end of August and it was fantastic! The views were incredible an absolute must do! The Blue Mountains were incredible and our tour guide Mitch was very knowledgeable and had fun with everyone. He made it a fun day trip! I’d recommend wearing layers as the weather can be finnicky going from hot to cold on different stops throughout the day. Also bring snacks!
It was absolutely lovely! Highly recommend – the perfect first impression of the Blue Mountains. A must do when in Sydney, thank you for the perfect last day in Australia 🙂
Awesome tour! There’ so much packed in one day. Our tour guide Mitch gave tips and tricks in and around Sydney whilst driving us to the Blue Mountains; restaurants/bars/other nice places to visit in the surrounding area, info about the country: you name it. Mitch is a true Ozzy bloke; funny, chilled-out and very knowledgable about Australian wildlife. If you’re new to Australia/Sydney; then all this info will give you a headstart on your trip. Our bus was very comfortable and even had outlets to charge our phones via USB (comes in handy for all thoses photo’s you want to take). Hiking the Blue Mountains later during the day is really nice because the temperature is good; fewer tourists around; and watching the sun set over the blue mountains is just magical! The scenery is beautiful. Mitch also took us to a good spot to check out some kangaroos. You can bring your own meals on the bus but there is also plenty of choice during the stops to pick up lunch/diner for a good price: ranging from snacks to pastas and healthy salads. The tourbus picks up/drops off at several locations in the city center, which are all very easy to get to via public transportation. We parked our rental car just outside of Sydney city center at a Park & Ride and hoped on the train to Central Station, which is right next to the pick up point. Thank you, Autopia crew!
We’ve had a wonderful tour to the highlights of the Blue Mountains yesterday! Mitch was the perfect guide and we were lucky to have a small group with nice young people. My sister and I did not take the hardest walk down to the waterfalls, being a bit older than the rest of the group, but we saw enough to fully enjoy it! Highly recommended 👍
Wonderful Blue Mountain tour with David! We loved seeing the kangaroos and the hike to Wentworth Falls and sunset on Lincoln’s Rock. What a beautiful day in an amazingly picturesque spot. David was so knowledgeable, fun, and witty. This tour exceeded our expectations and made our Sydney adventure complete.
Had a tour today with Smoky who was an absolute gent! His knowledge was impeccable, and we all felt very safe and in great hands with him as our guide. Smoky taught us things about the blue mountains I had no idea we would learn, he knows so much about every plant, rock and viewpoint we saw and it was an absolute wonder and a pleasure to be shown around by someone who is so proud of what he does and this beautiful country. If you get the chance to do the sunset tour with smoky, you will never forget it for the rest of your life! Thank you for gracing us with this impeccably knowledgable tour guide and an absolute credit to your company! Autopia tours are lucky to have him.
Me and my wife secured two places on this trip at the last minute, so glad we did. The whole trip from start to finish was amazing. Our tour guide, ( we named him “dingo ” Derek) was so knowledgeable. His expertise on the history and facts about the area were incredible. I could go on and on about the whole day but there would not be enough space! Put it this way,it is on par with the grand canyon, if not better.
