About this tour
An 11-hour expedition through Australia's Blue Mountains National Park timed to catch sunset over the escarpment. Travel beyond the usual tourist routes to spot wallabies and kangaroos grazing in bushland at dusk, when wildlife is most active. Afternoon tea of seasonal fruit, cheese and crackers arrives as golden light floods the valleys. Stop in the heritage village of Leura for lunch at one of its many cafes, then push into the park for the main event.

What to expect
You'll start in the foothills and gradually climb toward the Blue Mountains National Park, stopping in Leura mid-morning for lunch—grab something at a local cafe suited to your tastes. From there, the route heads into quieter sections of the park where kangaroos and wallabies actually roam rather than hide. As light softens late afternoon, you'll settle at a vantage point overlooking the escarpment. Here, afternoon tea arrives: fresh fruit, cheese, biscuits. Watch animals move across the grassland as the sun drops and the valleys turn purple and gold. The return journey is gentler, with time to absorb the day.
