This tour is organised and run by locals who have lived in the Blue Mountains all their life taking you to only the best places that can be fit in in a full day tour. This full day Blue Mountains tour is exactly that, we do not attend non relevant zoos, boats etc. Scenic World has also been removed from our itinerary as it wasn’t well received by our customer base.
This adventure commences early from Sydney with a meet and greet at the pickup point. You then have a bit over an hour to acquaint yourself with the group on the bus ride heading to the outskirts of Sydney.
Once you hit the start of the Blue Mountains there is a quick stop at a local shopping village where you can have a quick toilet/food/drinks stop before heading all the way up to the amazing Three Sisters rock formations. After taking photos of the Three sisters and jaw dropping Jamison Valley we then take you on a bushwalk right up to the three sisters and even onto one of the rock formations.
We then progress further into the mountains to Wentworth Falls where your guide will take the group for a 90 min hike through the bush where you will see local fauna, bird life and see several waterfalls on your hike to the base of the immense Wentworth falls and even have a quick refreshing dip.
All that sightseeing makes people hungry so the group will relocate to a nearby area where we cook an authentic Aussie BBQ with veggies and kangaroo on the side (vegetarian/vegan options).
After lunch we continue the day of fun and head to a local and secluded waterhole where people can go swimming or lay around on the sand in the sun deep within the bush of the Blue Mountains. Then, you head off into the nearby National Park down a long dirt road to say hello to skippy the Kangaroo. This tour has had hundreds of 5 star reviews. We are a small and passionate option!
By now the day is getting on and we head back into Sydney with an approximate arrival time of 6:00pm. We often conclude our day together at the Central Sydney bar.

Coast Warriors is Sydney’s laid-back small group tour operator, owned and operated by Aussie locals. We cater to active travelers aged 17 to around 60, though older participants are welcome if they can handle bushwalking and enjoy our advertised activities.
This tour is one of Sydney’s top-rated experiences for those looking for a relaxed Blue Mountains adventure. Our tours are led by friendly local Aussies and aim to feel more like a day out with a small group of friends rather than a traditional tour.
With years of experience, we ensure you’ll visit only the best and less touristy spots in the Blue Mountains. Expect waterfalls, stunning lookouts, a stop at Glenbrook’s local cafe, the Three Sisters at Katoomba, occasional kangaroo sightings, and frequent bird encounters. This is a full day in the Blue Mountains, generally away from the crowds and mainstream tour bus stops. We also offer Aussie snacks like Tim Tams and Vegemite.

- Please do not print off your booking voucher. Just have it on your phone. No point wasting your time and our paper
- In regards to reviews, a vast majority are actually over on TripAdvisor opposed to the very small amount here
- Update August 2024We have noticed an increase of dingoes (wild dogs) in the area scaring off the kangaroos. We also hope that this will return to normal asap. This has affected all tours mentioning wild kangaroos. Apologies
- We highly recommend travel insurance in Australia as our emergency fees are quite high for non citizens
- To maximise time spent in the Blue Mountains we do not offer hotel pickup or drop off. Sydney’s public transport is very reliable and efficient. Uber too
