Private Blue Mountains Mercedes Escape Tour

8AM start only as optional - This can be discussed prior to or on the day of your tour as we recommend visiting this park in the morning on route to the Blue Mountains. This is your chance to get to know up close and personal native Australian Wildlife including, Kangaroos, Pademelons, Wallaby, Koalas, Dingoes, plus many more. Take your time or make it quick, it's up to you as the day is yours to remember at your leisure and pace. Not recommended on late start tour due to timing. Full day option only. This is an optional stop not included in the price of the tour please advise if you’d like to visit this park.

Our first stop is an optional visit into The Lower blue Mountains National Park where very few others venture to. You'll be surrounded by lush bushland and listen to nothing but the birds and wildlife including Kookaburras, Cockatoos, Magpies even cicadas during summer. Enjoy the sounds of the Australian Bush here in the lower mountains national park. This is a real Escape from the Crowds. We may consider a quick coffee here or make a dash for the upper mountains. Depending on your choices, this may/may not be included. As this venue is only accessible crossing a water causeway, this may not be available following heavy rain. Optional town visit showcasing the diversity of the charming villages. Full day option only.

This is the most spectacular waterfall in the mountains and a must-see when visiting this region. Get photography tips using your iPhone with long exposure waterfall photography then we'll take a walk to look over the falls with an optional extension to the bottom. These views are spectacular! How far we go here is up to you.. Depending on your level of fitness this may or may/not be included in the tour for passengers looking for more of a driving tour with less walking. Fancy a swim in the warmer months? Bring your swimmers for a dip in the pool under the waterfall, it'll be a moment you'll never forget.

optional stop: This mountain village is a popular destination for village shopping and lunch. With an eclectic number of village-style shops you'll immerse yourself in the local mountains atmosphere. There are a number of cafe's offering a great range of quality gourmet foods. It can be popular here but well worth a visit as you can spend as much or as little time here as you like. We find Katoomba offers a greater range for lunch, and quick too, we will discuss on the day.

We spend most of our time within the Blue Mountains exploring lush rainforest areas and lookouts. Check out remote lookouts which are perfect for capture using your own equipment such as aerial drone photography & videography.

Photographing the Three Sisters must be considered as a highlight of the day and time it so the Three sisters are displayed at their best, in the afternoon light from the west. Although hard to avoid groups at this stop, we find the best time to visit is late-afternoon when the bulk of passengers have moved on. We save the best for last.

Take in the views of the sisters in the afternoon with wonderful golden light from the west.

Time permitting we may head out to Govetts Leap for views of the Grose Valley. Typically there are far fewer guests here offering a low key environment to take in the fresh mountain air while enjoying spectacular views of the valley.

The mountains largest township and one of the earliest established tourist regions, you'll enjoy the diversity of this town. There are many options for a quick lunch, stop at a brewery, pub lunch at extra cost or simply stroll through the numerous eclectic shops at your own pace. We recommend this township for a stroll and lunch.

Although not part of our regular itinerary, we can facilitate a drop at Scenic world for guests. Due to the lengthy queues of 2 hours+ during busy periods we do not recommend this stop.
