For nature lovers, the Blue Mountains Day Tour offers an incredible combination of stunning landscapes and unique Australian wildlife. Beyond breathtaking views, Picture Me Sydney’s Blue Mountains Day Tour lets you experience some of Australia’s most beloved animals. Here’s your guide to the best wildlife experiences on the tour.
1. Meet the Koalas
A highlight of the wildlife encounters, the opportunity to meet a koala is something few tourists experience up close. At the animal farm, you’ll have VIP access to pat (not cuddle) a koala and take photos. These iconic marsupials are often found dozing in trees, and you’ll get a unique opportunity to observe them in an intimate setting.
2. Kangaroos, Wombats, and Wallabies
Australia is home to 55 million wild kangaroos, as well as adorable wombats and wallabies. On our tour, you’ll have a chance to see these magnificent creatures in natural habitats, particularly in the forested farmlands. While kangaroos are less frequently seen in the wild here unless it’s rainy, wallabies and wombats are more common, and joeys can be spotted year-round. Your guide will share interesting facts about these marsupials.
3. Deep Canyons, Tall Waterfalls, and Sandstone Cliffs
The UNESCO-listed Blue Mountains region is a sandstone plateau filled with eucalypt forests, tall waterfalls, and spectacular sandstone cliffs. Located on a 470-million-year-old quartzite formation, this area offers endless natural beauty, temperate rainforests, small rivers, and a variety of native birdlife. Explore these wonders on our guided walking trails for an unforgettable experience.
4. Bird Watching in the Blue Mountains
For bird enthusiasts, the Blue Mountains are a treasure trove of avian life, home to over 400 bird species. During the tour, you’ll have the chance to spot colorful parrots, the elusive lyrebird, and even the majestic peregrine falcon. Your guide will share insights into the unique bird species that call the Blue Mountains home.
5. Reptiles and Amphibians
While less commonly seen, the Blue Mountains also host a range of reptiles and amphibians. With your guide’s expert knowledge, you might catch sight of a blue-tongue lizard, native snakes, or frogs. The region’s wetlands and rainforests create the perfect habitat for these fascinating creatures.
