My experience with the Blue Mountain tour guided by Terry was nothing short of excellent. The VIP access to the koalas was a beautiful and memorable experience, allowing us to get up close and personal with these adorable creatures. Learning about kangaroos and wallabies added an educational touch to the tour, making it both fun and informative. Driving through the Blue Mountains was a breathtaking journey, and Terry's choice of specific spots with fewer tourists made the experience even more special. The tranquility and beauty of these locations were truly fantastic. The selection of restaurants for lunch and dinner was impressive, offering a variety of delicious options. One of the highlights was getting to enjoy an authentic Australian meat pie, which was a delightful culinary treat. Overall, this tour was a perfect blend of adventure, education, and relaxation.

Full description

Explore the beauty, lookouts and valleys of this remarkable region with a local guide. See the very best locations and amazing views on a unique tour crafted to avoid the crowds. Sleep in, avoid the Sydney traffic peak and all the big tour groups.
Join us in an epic journey that will showcase the natural beauty of this world heritage listed region. It is filled with dramatic cliffs, eucalypt forests and waterflows so we don’t have time for theme parks or trendy café spots. Understand its history and grandeur to see waterflows and spectacular cliff edge valley views from scenic lookouts. Listen or spot our birdlife as we enjoy a bush picnic lunch and see the Three Sisters at the very best time as the sandstone rocks glow in the late afternoon sun. We start later than most tours to avoid the crowds and avoid tourist traps. Stop at a working farm to pat the kangaroos, wallabies or see a joey. Our VIP backstage pass with a koala is an extended private session up close with the koala and special photo moments. Dinner included at a local restaurant to complete a memorable day. Travel in a small group with a keen photographer guide so you will have picture perfect memories.

Terry is a fantastic guide. We appreciated his photography skills while we hiked. The van was very comfortable and the small sized group suited us best. Seeing a baby wombat and patting a koala were icing on the cake! This trip rated as our most favorite tour we've taken in 5 weeks.

Hey Laura and loved your passion for animals, great and small! Your review makes me both proud and happy for what I try to do. Enjoy the photos and may they become lifelong memories of our day in the Blue Mountains, thanks
