About this activity

Escape the crowded Blue Mountains circuit on a curated 8.5-hour private tour that combines genuine wildlife encounters with colonial history. See wild kangaroos in their natural habitat at a secret guide-only location near Windsor, explore 8,000-year-old Aboriginal rock art, and visit Australia's oldest surviving pub—all on quiet backroads away from coach tours.

The only Blue Mountains private tour that takes you off the beaten track to see WILD kangaroos in their natural habitat — not in a wildlife park, no entry fee, no fences. We visit a secret guide spot near Windsor where the mob has been visiting for years, with 8,000-year-old Aboriginal rock engravings on the same sandstone outcrop and a 150-year-old colonial farm next door.

Then explore Old Windsor (founded 1810) and the Macquarie Arms Hotel — the oldest surviving pub and hotel in Australia (built 1815). Plus the iconic Three Sisters from a quieter lookout away from coach-tour crowds.

290 km of hidden Blue Mountains routes. Two variants: 8 hours with optional Scenic World, or 9 hours with a 3 km Wentworth Falls clifftop hike. Created by Andrew Sorokin, licensed Sydney guide since 2006.

Insider tips
