Overview

Thrive in the UNESCO‑listed Blue Mountains National Park, wandering along dramatic cliff‑edge trails and uncovering majestic canyons, sheer sandstone walls, and picturesque hidden waterfalls.

Enjoy a private, crowd‑free experience on quieter trails where serene cascades and breathtaking vistas feel like they belong entirely to you.

Discover Australia’s native wildflowers and towering tree ferns, with the chance to encounter our curious water dragons, brush turkeys, cockatoos, kookaburras, and the wonderfully tuneful superb lyrebird.

Your itinerary is fully flexible — choose a gentle, slower‑paced day or an adventure packed with multiple trails and viewpoints, tailored to your interests, time, and fitness level for a heart‑stirring experience accessible to all.

You may also opt to visit cute, fluffy koalas and hand‑feed kangaroos at a wildlife sanctuary and/or explore Scenic World, riding the world’s steepest train and soaring gondolas above the canyon.

Wentworth Falls Lookout

Incredible canyon views, waterfall pictures and cliff edge hikes. There are a few walks to choose from that go down to or overlook the Wentworth Falls or Empress Falls at the Valley of the Waters which is a harder walk. Depending on our time and fitness levels I will recommend this walk or some easier walks in the surrounding area.

Activity name

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
