Outside Sydney – Visiting the Blue Mountains

Forget your troubles, come on be Australian…

Sydney holidays in the Blue Mountains have a huge range of experiences to offer as such a visit to the Blueys cater well for families, groups of friends and romantic getaways too. Sydney flights are available with a number of companies and there are plenty of Sydney hotels to stay in if you are looking to visit the mountains just for the day as well.
If you organise your Sydney car hire to be ready for you at the airport when you land, you can drive straight out and arrange accommodation within the mountains themselves for an all-encompassing experience if that’s what you’re looking for.
One thing is for certain… a visit to the Blue Mountains is the perfect way to chill out and forget all your troubles in an instant.

Tours, Horse Riding and Guided Walks

The Wonderbus Blue Mountains Tour is a one-day introduction into the best of the Blue Mountains, wineries, harbour life and Aboriginal culture.
4WD tours are organised in such a way that they are ecologically friendly. Wander through the bush and enjoy what the National Parks have to offer alongside trained professionals.
For the brave-hearted there are fantastic water sports tours available and safari tours that finish with dinner in the bush at sunset. However, if you have a particular love for horse riding, you should book a tour on horseback. Tours exist for both experienced riders and complete beginners.

Pamper Yourself

If you have a lot more time to devote to the mountains, but you don’t really want to get out into the wilderness and get sweaty as you climb to dizzy heights, try booking yourself into one of the spectacular spa hotels for a few days and take advantage of all the fresh, herbal products available.
Most spas also offer day passes. The Aarons Hotel, the Travelodge hotel and the Sir Stamford hotel are places to stay in the heart of Sydney to make these pampering Blue Mountains day visits possible.

Things for the Kids

The Misty Ridge Cuddly Animal Farm is a wonderful place to take the children. Goats, rabbits, chickens and ducks abound making this farm a great place for children to learn about farm life in action.
If not, Scenic World allows you to see the Blue Mountains from above in the safe haven of various gondola rides that will carry you and your tiny ones around the entire expanse of Australia’s awesome natural structures.
