Sydney & the Blue Mountains

On arrival at Sydney Airport you’ll be transferred to your hotel (flights anytime). The rest of the day is at leisure. 

Cross the Sydney Harbour Bridge and stop at Milsons Point for spectacular views of the city skyline. Stop at North Head Lookout for a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean. Enjoy free time at Manly Beach and stroll along The Corso, before heading back to the city. Board your Captain Cook Lunch Cruise for a buffet lunch.

This afternoon you’ll drive through the city and the Domain to Mrs. Macquarie’s Chair. Get your camera ready for close up views of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Stop at the headland known as The Gap before arriving at Bondi Beach, where you can wander along the shoreline before re-boarding your coach to return to the city.

Explore the World Heritage listed Blue Mountains National Park. View the famous Three Sisters rock formation from a perfect vantage point before arriving at Scenic World, where you’ll witness the vastness of the Blue Mountains. You can ride the Scenic Railway, Cableway or Skyway, a great way to see the steep valleys and canyons and follow the boardwalk along the valley floor (own expense). Stop in picturesque Leura where you'll enjoy lunch in a local café. There’s time to explore the village, a delightful blend of quaint shops and groomed gardens.

On your return to Sydney, enjoy an afternoon encounter at a wildlife park. Get up-close to koalas and see kangaroos, wombats, and other native animals.

Your Short Break concludes this morning after breakfast. You’ll be transferred to Sydney Airport for your onward flight (flights anytime).
