About Blue Mountain Tours

Blue mountains.

Take a scenic 90 minute drive west of Sydney and discover the magnificent Blue Mountains. This World Heritage Listed National Park is recognised internationally for its incredible geographic, botanic and cultural values and boasts a stunning landscape of dense eucalypt forest, grand escarpments, waterfalls and cave systems.

Why are the Blue Mountains Blue The area is home to 90 different species of eucalyptus trees and the greatest and most diverse concentration of eucalyptus trees in the world. Ever wonder why the Blue Mountains are called blue? The air is filled with several finely dispersed droplets of eucalyptus oil. These oil droplets not only delightfully perfume the air, but combined with dust and water vapour; they scatter rays of brilliant blue light earning this spectacular mountain range its name.

Towns & Villages

Travelling through the Blue Mountains you’ll come across a number of quaint villages and towns such as the picturesque village of Leura. You’ll notice many of the region’s villages and landmarks are named after the European explorers Blaxland, Wentworth and Lawson who first crossed the rugged mountain terrain in 1813.

Blue Mountains with Henry - Great day! Went on the AAT Kings Blue Mountains and Wildlife day tour today. Our guide Henry was excellent. Very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Commentary throughout the day was entertaining, personable and insightful. The coach and overall AAT Kings were impeccable and top notch. The tour was well placed and an overall awesome experience. The Blue Mountains are breathtaking. Featherdale Wildlife Reserve was lots of fun as we got to interact with and feed the animals. Recommend the tour and both the Scenic World Rides and Parramatta Cruise add-ons to roundout a must-dp tour.

Just did a Blue Mountain tour with AAT Kings. Opted for the “in style”. Well worth the difference in price. Small group, great lunch and a boat cruise at the end of the tour. Guide Joe was outstanding and very informative.

Blue Mountains Driver/Guide made my day fun! I was so lucky to have Ben as Driver/Guide for my final tour with AAT Kings! He made the trip to the Blue Mountains, out of Sydney, worthwhile. As a person with a disability, I also greatly appreciated Ben's kindness and patience. AAT Kings is very fortunate to have an employee like Ben and I'm grateful to have had him as a guide for my last Australian tour!

Yes, you would get the chance to explore a wide range of wildlife with private tours, including kangaroos and koalas. If you want to meet and pat a koala, you can opt for a private visit package to the Featherdale wildlife park. Opting for the Aussie Animal Encounters at the Featherdale Park can be a great way for an interactive wildlife experience with Koalas and Kangaroos in reserve. However, if you want to see kangaroos in the wild , Euroka campground is the nearest location in the Blue Mountains national park.

What are the must-see lookouts in the Blue Mountains ?

It is entirely subjective to which lookouts are best for you in the Blue Mountains. Yet, the following are three of the best and must-see lookouts you should not miss when in the Blue Mountains:

Echo point : Located on the boundaries of the Blue Mountains national park, the points give you a scenic lookout along the cliff edge.

Do I have to be physically fit to visit the Blue Mountains?

You can do many activities in the Blue Mountains, such as hiking, abseiling, mountain biking, canyoning, and bushwalks. Therefore, if you plan to take such adventures, you need to be physically fit. Otherwise, you can prefer bush walks that are suitable for all fitness levels. On the other hand, many neutral sightseeing activities require absolutely no such fitness ability.
