Read MoreHop off at Scenic World for unique views of the Blue Mountains wilderness.
Start with a return trip on the Skyway for a bird’s eye view of the Three Sisters, Katoomba Falls and the rugged Jamison Valley, then take your seat on the Scenic Railway – the steepest railway in the world. While the Indiana Jones music plays, you drop down smoothly through a natural tunnel in the rock and shoot out amid rainforest in the bottom of the valley.
Explore the forest on foot via the Scenic Walkway, before a treetop-skimming ride on the Scenic Cableway to complete your lap of Scenic World
Meet the Explorer Bus at Scenic World and get your breath back as we take you on a beautiful drive around past Eagle Hawk Lookout. Here is our chance to give you a little detail about the history and geology of the region. Then we pull up at Narrow Neck Lookout where you have views over both the Jamison & Megalong Valleys. Narrow Neck Lookout is a great spot for photos of the nearby massive sandstone cliffs, the green pastures & farms of the Megalong Valley, and the distant mountain ridges of The Great Dividing Range as they disappear into the blue eucalyptus haze.
Then, as you head back toward the Three Sisters, hear your driver tell the story of three girls called Meehni, Wimlah and Gunnedoo … and how they came to be turned to stone!

Read MoreHop off the bus at Stop 15 and cross the road to Honeymoon Lookout – the starting point of our favourite short walks in the Blue Mountains. Wander through the shade of the towering eucalyptus trees to a soundtrack of constant birdsong, and see if you can spot the colourful parrots, bower birds and lyrebirds that make their home in this forest as you walk past several stunning lookouts towards the Three Sisters.
Turn left at the stairway that leads down to Honeymoon Bridge, and walk across to stand on the base of the first of the Three Sisters. To reach Echo Point you then follow the wide track that curves gently uphill to Queen Elizabeth Lookout and the world famous view of the Three Sisters.

Read MoreLookout at Echo Point is a convenient place to grab a snack with great views from the terrace. Alternatively, pack a picnic and eat al fresco on the grassy lawns at your next stop, the lovely Leura Cascades.
Now you’re full of energy again, it’s time for another great (and easy) bushwalk, this time down alongside the bubbling stream that tumbles down the whitewater staircase of Leura Cascades. We suggest you give yourself an hour to enjoy this beautiful and popular spot.

Read MoreHop off at Stop 18 and put your walking shoes on to discover one of the hidden treasures of the Blue Mountains. The Pool of Siloam is an absolutely enchanting spot – a secluded pool set in thick forest, with a big sandy beach and a 7-metre waterfall (which you can cool yourself under on a hot day). It’s a wonderfully cool and shady spot to spend a hot afternoon, and the beauty of the place more than repays the effort of walking down the stairs to get here.
You can avoid walking back up by walking upstream along the creek through Lyrebird Dell.
