  • Complete circle loop of the Blue Mountains
  • Visit remote regions with stunning views

The Blue Mountains National Park is one of seven national parks that make up the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area. This wonderland of sandstone outcrops, deep ravines and hazy blue eucalypt forests boasts luxury retreats and stunning views. Today your guide will take you off the beaten track to visit remote lookout locations and discuss the history, flora and fauna of this magnificent region.

7.30AM Depart from the hotel with AEA Luxury Tours. Our first stop of the day is at Calmsley Hill, a working farm also home to Kangaroo, Emu, Wombat and Koala. Enjoy morning tea and time to wander at leisure.

From Calmsley Hill we continue to ascend the Blue Mountains via the highway. We will visit one of a range of stunning outlooks of the Jamison Valley seeing beautiful vistas. Where possible this will be away from the crowds of tours that visit the mountains each day with other operators, thus our guests will enjoy a stress and hurry free environment taking in the views and information imparted by their guide.

Continuing, we arrive at Eaglehawk Lookout, a remote lookout away from the crowds for views of the famous 3 Sisters. Whilst the Blue Mountains features so much more than this natural attraction you can’t help but admire the unquestionable beauty of this amazing rock formation. The character of the Three Sisters changes throughout the day and throughout the seasons as the sunlight brings out the magnificent colours. Here your guide will discuss the legends behind this famous rock formation and time available for you to take some great photos.

We then make our way around the mountain towards the village of Blackheath and our lunch venue the Hydro Majestic. Here in this relaxed venue with stunning views. We enjoy a 2-course lunch, food only. All diets are catered for (excluding Kosher Meals). Beverages can be purchased at your own expense from the Bar

The afternoon is spent visiting a selection of lookouts. Once you clap your eyes on the view from Govetts Leap you’ll know why it’s one of the most famous lookouts in Australia. The magnificent waterfall drops a whopping 180m to the base of the cliff. If you’re not mesmerized by the dancing waves of water spray, you’ll be transfixed by the sweeping views down the valley to the Grose Wilderness. We then stop briefly to enjoy a glass of sparkling wine or orange juice at the delightful Mt Tomah Botanic Gardens our last stop, where we enjoy the sweeping views across to Sydney before travelling down the Bells Line of Road to arrive back at your hotel approximately 4.30 – 5.00pm.

About the 3 Sisters

The iconic 3 Sisters is a majestic rock formation that stands as a testament to the timeless beauty of the Australian landscape. The region in Point Katoomba has long been a favourite scenic destination, captivating visitors from around the world with its sheer grandeur and awe-inspiring vistas.

The Three Sisters is a unique rock formation representing three sisters who were turned to stone according to Aboriginal legend. The story varies among Aboriginal groups, but a common version is that the sisters, Meehni, Wimlah, and Gunnedoo, belonged to the Katoomba tribe and fell in love with three brothers from a rival tribe, the Nepean tribe. However, tribal law forbade their marriage.

The brothers decided to capture the sisters, leading to a tribal battle. To protect the sisters during the conflict, a witch doctor from the Katoomba tribe turned them into stone. He intended to reverse the spell after the battle but was killed, leaving the sisters in their current form as an eternal reminder of the fight.

As a natural formation, the Three Sisters are an impressive sight, standing tall and overlooking the Jamison Valley. Their story is a significant part of the cultural landscape and an example of how natural features can be woven into the rich tapestry of local mythology and legend.

 

About Govetts Leap

Get ready to be mesmerised by the stunning vista as you stand at Govetts Leap, a charming overlook that has established itself as one of Australia’s most recognisable vantage points. This remarkable location, which is tucked away in the gorgeous Blue Mountains, will astound you with its unmatched natural beauty.

Your gaze will be pulled to the majestic Bridal Veil waterfall as you stand at the edge of the cliff, where it delicately cascades 180 metres down the rock face. The sheer power and ethereal beauty of the dancing water spray will mesmerise your senses, creating a scene that seems straight out of a fairy tale.

The wonders of Govetts Leap extend far beyond the waterfall. Cast your gaze across the sweeping valley, and you’ll be greeted by the awe-inspiring panorama of the Grose Wilderness. Stretching as far as the eye can see, this untamed landscape is a testament to the raw and untouched beauty of the Australian wilderness.

From the delicate petals of exotic orchids to the bold bursts of colour from native wildflowers, every step you take reveals a new masterpiece painted by Mother Nature herself.

Your senses will be treated to an orchestra of scents – the delicate perfume of roses, the earthy aroma of ferns, and the invigorating scent of herbs. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and let the fragrant breeze transport you to a world of serenity and calm.
