Blue Mountains & Parramatta River: Full-Day Trip from Sydney

Blue Mountains and Parramatta River: Full-Day Trip from Sydney is a guided day tour departing from Sydney that combines wildlife, mountain scenery, and a harbour ferry return. The itinerary runs for approximately 10 hours and covers Featherdale Wildlife Park, the Blue Mountains National Park, and a Circular Quay ferry cruise along the Parramatta River. Featherdale is one of the most accessible wildlife parks near Sydney, where visitors can see koalas, wombats, and a range of native birds at close range before heading west into the mountains.

At Scenic World in Katoomba, the tour includes three rides: the Cableway, the Skyway, and the Scenic Railway, which descends at a gradient steep enough to hold the record as the world's steepest passenger railway. Echo Point provides views over the Jamison Valley and the Three Sisters sandstone formation. A walk through Leura Village allows time to browse local shops and cafes, with lunch available at your own expense. The day concludes with a ferry cruise from Parramatta back to Circular Quay. Tickets cover hotel pickup, an air-conditioned coach throughout, a live guide, entry to Featherdale Wildlife Park, and all three Scenic World rides. Hotel drop-off and meals are not included.
