About this experience
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.

What you'll see and do
Cattai
Wild Kangaroo Spot near Windsor (Secret Location). Our secret guide spot on the outskirts of Sydney where wild kangaroos roam free in their natural habitat — not a wildlife park, not a zoo, no entry fee. The mob has been visiting this clearing for years and it's one of the highest-rated parts of our tour. You'll watch them from a respectful distance as they graze, rest in the shade, and interact naturally. The same sandstone outcrop bears 8,000-year-old Aboriginal rock engravings, and a 150-year-old colonial farm sits next door.
30 minutes here
Cattai
Ancient Aboriginal Rock Engravings. On the same sandstone where you watched the kangaroos, you'll see ancient rock art carved by the Darug people approximately 8,000 years ago. These engravings depict animals, hunting scenes, and ceremonial figures. Your guide will explain the cultural significance and the deep connection between Aboriginal heritage and this specific landscape.
10 minutes here
Cattai
150-Year-Old Colonial Farm (Working Heritage Farm). A working colonial-era farm that has been in continuous operation since the 1870s. Sandstone buildings, original farming equipment, paddocks with grazing animals — a rare glimpse of rural Australia exactly as it looked in the 19th century. The farm sits adjacent to the Aboriginal engravings site, telling the story of two cultures sharing the same land.
15 minutes here
Old Windsor — Heritage Main Street (Founded 1810) Stroll the heritage main street of Old Windsor, founded in 1810 — one of the oldest European settlements in Australia. Colonial buildings, historic shops, and Thompson Square (Australia's oldest public square). On Sundays, the local Farmers Market sets up here with fresh honey, seasonal fruit, local cheeses and baked goods. Mention "Sunday market" at booking and we'll time the stop accordingly. Built in 1815, the Macquarie Arms Hotel is the oldest surviving pub and hotel in Australia. Walk through the original colonial doorway, see the heritage interior, and have a beer or coffee on the same heritage street where convicts, soldiers and early settlers gathered 200+ years ago. Andrew (your guide) knows the history personally and can show you details most visitors miss.
30 minutes here
Richmond
We drive through Old Richmond, Australia's third-oldest European settlement (founded 1810). Heritage churches, colonial-era homes, and the Hawkesbury countryside spreads out around us. Your guide will share the stories of early settlers, convict labour, and how this region became the food bowl of early Sydney.
Pass by without stopping
Hawkesbury Lookout
Sweeping panoramic views over the Hawkesbury River and the Cumberland Plain. On clear days you can see all the way back to Sydney's CBD on the horizon. A perfect photo stop and an excellent place to understand the geography of greater Sydney before we head up into the Blue Mountains.
20 minutes here
Elysian Rock Lookout
A true hidden gem. We will take you away from the main tourist trails to this secluded vantage point. Enjoy the serenity, listen to the native birds, and take in the sweeping panoramic views of the valley in complete peace, without the usual tourist crowds.
30 minutes here
Leura
Stroll through the picturesque, tree-lined streets of Leura, known as the "Garden Village." We'll make a short stop here so you can stretch your legs, grab a quick artisan coffee, browse boutique shops, or simply admire the charming heritage homes.
15 minutes here
Eagle Hawk Lookout
Escape the massive crowds of Echo Point while still enjoying a phenomenal, unobstructed view of the famous Three Sisters and the vast Jamison Valley. Eagle Hawk Lookout is a fantastic, much quieter vantage point. It allows you to take incredible photos and appreciate the sheer scale of the Blue Mountains in a peaceful atmosphere. A perfect, exclusive short stop on our private itinerary.
10 minutes here
Katoomba
The historic heart of the Blue Mountains. We usually stop here for lunch. Since this is your private day, the choice is yours: from a quick bite at a local cafe to a relaxing meal with a view. Your guide will provide excellent local recommendations tailored to your taste.
60 minutes here
Katoomba Falls
Take a refreshing, short walk through a lush, ancient rainforest to witness the beautiful Katoomba Falls cascading down the dramatic sandstone cliffs into the Jamison Valley. This serene spot offers a wonderful contrast to the expansive lookouts. It allows you to immerse yourself in the rich greenery, listen to the native birdsong, and enjoy the cool, fresh mountain air away from the heavy tourist traffic.
30 minutes here
Scenic World Blue Mountains
(Optional stop). Experience the thrill of the world’s steepest passenger railway, glide across the valley on the Skyway with its glass floor, and descend into the ancient Jurassic rainforest. If you choose to visit, your guide will help you navigate the attractions efficiently. (Tickets are at your own expense).
60 minutes here · Admission not included
Cahill's Lookout
A phenomenal viewpoint facing the Megalong Valley. Famous for the "Boar's Head" rock formation, this lookout offers a completely different, rugged perspective of the mountains. It's especially beautiful in the afternoon light and is much quieter than Echo Point.
15 minutes here
The Three Sisters
No trip to the Blue Mountains is complete without seeing the iconic Three Sisters rock formation. We will visit the famous Echo Point to capture classic photos of the sisters and learn about the fascinating Aboriginal legends surrounding them.

Wild Kangaroos near Sydney - unforgettable experience!
After exploring Sydney with an audio guide, I decided to book this tour to the Blue Mountains, mainly for the chance to see wild kangaroos. I was a bit worried because it was raining, but our guide, Andrew, was absolutely amazing! Despite the bad weather, Andrew went out of his way and successfully found wild kangaroos for us to observe in their natural habitat. He also showed us around the Blue Mountains, and honestly, seeing the mountains wrapped in clouds and mist gave them such a unique, mystical vibe. It was an unforgettable experience. Huge thanks to Andrew for turning a rainy day into a perfect trip. I highly recommend this tour!

What a wonderful day in the Blue Mountains
We booked 2 tours with Andrew and next day we travelled in the Blue Mountains! Andrew took us on a private tour to places that are completely off the usual tourist trail. The canyon was absolutely breathtaking — huge sandstone cliffs, deep gorges, and panoramic views you simply cannot get from the standard lookouts. But the highlight for us was seeing wild kangaroos in their natural environment, only about an hour from Sydney — we did not expect to encounter them so close to the city, just hopping calmly through the open fields. Andrew is an experienced and very professional guide, his van was comfortable for our whole group, and the waterfalls near Windsor added the perfect finishing touch to the day. If you are tired of crowded tourist spots and want to see the real, wild side of the Blue Mountains, book this tour with Andrew — you will not be disappointed!
Response from the operator: Thank you for joining me for a second day and highly recommending our Blue Mountains Private Tour! Taking guests away from the crowded tourist spots to see massive sandstone cliffs, deep gorges, and wild kangaroos in their natural environment is what we love doing most. I am thrilled that you and your group enjoyed the comfortable ride and the peaceful waterfalls near Windsor. Thank you for choosing Sydney Tour Guide for both of your day trips from Sydney. It was a pleasure being your guide! Feel free to discover more of our off-the-usual-trail tours at SydneyTourGuide.com.au. Cheers, Andrew S.

Why this scores 52
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Blue Mountains Hidden Routes: Wild Kangaroos, Windsor & Falls: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sydney.
How much does Blue Mountains Hidden Routes: Wild Kangaroos, Windsor & Falls cost?
+
Prices start at $655 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sydney usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Blue Mountains Hidden Routes: Wild Kangaroos, Windsor & Falls take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sydney is not rushed.
Is Blue Mountains Hidden Routes: Wild Kangaroos, Windsor & Falls worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sydney, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Blue Mountains Hidden Routes: Wild Kangaroos, Windsor & Falls?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Blue Mountains Hidden Routes: Wild Kangaroos, Windsor & Falls suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Blue Mountains Hidden Routes: Wild Kangaroos, Windsor & Falls?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sydney can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sydney and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Blue Mountains Hidden Routes: Wild Kangaroos, Windsor & Falls start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sydney within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sydney?
+
On Outty we rank every Sydney experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include WILD Wombat and Kangaroo Day Tour, All Inclusive, Depart Syd: Blue Mountains Best All Inclusive with Local Guide, Blue Mountain Small Group Tour All Inclusive. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sydney?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sydney?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
