Plan your visit
Get to know the places behind the itinerary: the viewpoints, rides, waterfalls, village stops and after-dark experiences that make different mountain days.
The iconic lookout
The classic Blue Mountains view: three sandstone formations above the forested Jamison Valley. Echo Point is the place to start if you want the panorama without committing to a long bushwalk.

Rides above and below the canopy
Scenic World brings together the Railway, Skyway, Cableway and a rainforest boardwalk. It suits visitors who want several perspectives on the valley without making a long waterfall hike the centre of the day.

Waterfalls & walking choices
Wentworth Falls is both a mountain town and a waterfall area with several different walks. The route matters more than the name: a viewpoint stop, a short stair-heavy walk and a longer descent are very different days.

Cascades, valley views & evening light
Katoomba Falls, Katoomba Cascades and the Night-lit Walk are connected by the local landscape, but they are not interchangeable itinerary promises. Check whether your tour offers a cascade stop, an elevated view or time on foot.

A pause in the mountain villages
Leura provides a change of pace between lookouts and forest walks. Its cafes and shops make it a useful lunch stop, but the time available depends on the tour: a village break is not a full afternoon exploring the surrounding attractions.

The mountains after dark
Glow-worm viewing is a quiet, low-light experience rather than a brightly lit attraction. The guided night tour in this collection visits a cave described by its operator; it should not be confused with every glow-worm site in the wider region.
Read the guide →The classic day out
First-time visitors who want rides, wildlife and a river return in one day.
