Overview

Coast Warriors is Sydney’s chilled out small group tour operator own and run by Aussie locals. We target the fitter 14 to 70ish years of age travellers though older is fine if you can bushwalk and like what you see advertised :)

This tour offers one of Sydney's highest reviewed experiences for those seeking a relaxed Blue Mountains option. Our tours are run by fun local Aussies with the aim of being less of a tour and more of a feeling of a small group of mates on a day trip.

We have now been running this adventure for many years so you can put trust that we will take you to only the best and less touristy places within the Blue Mountains. Waterfalls, amazing lookouts, Glenbrook cafe stop (locals cafe), the Three Sisters at Katoomba, occasionally a kangaroo and often birds. This is a full day in the Blue Mountains generally away from all the tourists and other mainstream tour bus locations. Aussie snacks like Tim Tams & Vegemite are on offer too.

What's Included

  • Small group tour usually 22 to 27 happy souls :)
  • Fresh continental roll (meat/vegetarian/vegan/coeliac/allergy options). Byo refillable water bottle
  • Birdlife such as cockatoos, kookaburras, rosellas, lorikeets and lyrebirds (keep an eye out)
  • Drinks. Although lunch is supplied drinks are not- water taps at most stops. Bring a bottle #healthy
  • Hotel/Airbnb pickup & drop off (unless a large group). We have designated pickups & a city drop off.
  • Scenic World, Zoo, driving around Sydney hotels. We spend more time in the Mountains exploring
