Good tour. However be...
Good tour. However be prepared to have sore legs after the hike to water fall. Wear good shoes and prepare for wet weather.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the tour. Your tips about wearing good shoes and being prepared for wet weather are really helpful for future visitors. And yes, the waterfall hike can be quite the workout-sore legs are a badge of a great adventure! We appreciate your insights and hope to see you again soon!

Recommended for short stays.
Excellent guide, great service, relaxing and intense at the same time. Did this in wintertime, so no wildlife, but nice views and good hike. I combined this with an early walk from the opera house across the city to the pickup point. Ideal if you have 1 day available in Sydney.
Response from the operator: We’re so glad you had a relaxing yet adventurous experience. Winter brings crisp views, and we’re happy the hike made it special.

Perfect day with the perfect guide
It was a wonderful day with breathtaking views and Greg was the perfect guide. He took great care of us, and was funny and informative all day long. It was a lot of walking with a lot of steep steps back up from the waterfalls but so worth it. We believe June or July, with lower temperatures, are better than summer. Would recommend both Greg and the Blue mountains every day of the week.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing such a wonderful review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the day with breathtaking views and that Greg made the experience special with his care, humor, and knowledge. It’s great to know that the walking and steep steps were worth it - the waterfalls are truly stunning. Your tip about visiting in June or July for cooler temperatures is very helpful, and we agree that those months can offer a more comfortable experience. We truly appreciate your high recommendation of Greg and the Blue Mountains - it means a lot to us. We hope to see you again soon for more adventures!

Why this scores 79
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Blue Mountains Sunset Nature-based & Waterfall Tour from Sydney: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sydney.
How much does Blue Mountains Sunset Nature-based & Waterfall Tour from Sydney cost?
+
Prices start at $162 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 Sunset Nature-based & Waterfall Tour from Sydney take?
+
Plan for about 10.5 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 Sunset Nature-based & Waterfall Tour from Sydney worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 172 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 Sunset Nature-based & Waterfall Tour from Sydney?
+
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 Sunset Nature-based & Waterfall Tour from Sydney suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Blue Mountains Sunset Nature-based & Waterfall Tour from Sydney?
+
Around 60 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 10.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Blue Mountains Sunset Nature-based & Waterfall Tour from Sydney 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.
