Blue Mountains Wild Kangaroos & Sunset from Sydney - Late Start

Guided by a passionate hiker and photographer who has spent a lifetime in the Blue Mountains, this small-group day tour from Sydney goes where the tour buses don't. In a group of no more than 10, walk into the bush and find wild kangaroos grazing in Megalong Valley, then take real trails to lookouts most tours never reach. Want to push further on a longer, steeper stretch? You can. Want the shorter, easier path to the same view? You can do that too, and the group meets back up on the other side. Lunch is a proper Aussie pie with salad from Mountain High Pies, an award-winning Blue Mountains bakery, with around 20 varieties including vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free. As dusk falls at Echo Point, enjoy a twilight spread of Shiraz, Brie and Danish Blue cheese, crackers, hummus and Australian sweets while Sulphur-Crested Cockatoos dive off the escarpment to roost. Included, not an upsell. Roughly 10 hours door to door, this is a tour for those seeking some soft adventure in nature.

Know Before You Go

• Public transportation options are available nearby

• We don't follow a rigid itinerary. We respond to conditions on the day, including weather and avoiding crowds. Most destinations above are visited every tour, but occasionally one is swapped for another to give the best experience.
• Meeting point: the Sydney Harbour Marriott Hotel near Circular Quay, one of the best connected areas of Sydney by public transport or a short walk from many of the city's hotels; your guide will hold a sign reading "FeelGood! Nature Tours"
