Sydney: Blue Mountains National Park Tour mit Flusskreuzfahrt

Explore the Blue Mountains and the Australian outback on this 4-hour tour from Sydney. Begin with pickup at selected pickup points in the city, then drive to Sydney Zoo on the way to the Blue Mountains. Stop at the zoo and have the option to buy an entry ticket on the day. When you enter the zoo, enjoy a great opportunity to meet Australian wildlife like kangaroos, koalas, dingoes, wombats, Tasmanian devils, echidna, and more. See Asian and African animals such as cheetahs, lions, red pandas, elephants, a Sumatran tiger, and more. From Sydney Zoo, continue to Kings Tableland or Evans Lookout, the best places to view the wilderness of the Blue Mountains away from the large tourist buses. Then, follow your guide on a bushwalk to one of the most spectacular lookout points in the Blue Mountains, Wentworth Falls or Katoomba Falls. Next, spend some free time exploring Leura, a picturesque village known as the “Garden Village.” Browse the shops and take your pick from a range of lunch options (at your own expense) in a popular village Sydney locals love. After the lunch break, move on to Katoomba, the center of the Blue Mountains and the gateway to its two most popular tourist attractions: the Three Sisters rock formation and Scenic World. At Three Sisters, hear the Aboriginal legends about this famous rock formation, then continue to Scenic World. While at Scenic World, enjoy all the features that one of Australia's most visited tourist attractions offers, for additional costs on the day. Ride Skyway, Australia's highest cable car, or Cableway, Australia's biggest cable car. Take the chance to head up the steepest incline passenger-carrying railway in the world on the Scenic World Railway, or stroll across the 2.4-kilometer Walkway inside a temperate rainforest, the longest elevated boardwalk in Australia. With your guide, learn about aboriginal rock engravings and the First Nations people, thought to have arrived in the area many years ago. After Scenic World, drive through Homebush Bay, home of the 2000 Olympic Games. For the last leg of your return trip, escape nasty afternoon traffic and unwind on an afternoon ferry cruise along Parramatta River to Sydney Harbour and Sydney city center, where your tour ends.
