Guided by a passionate hiker and photographer who has spent a lifetime in the Blue Mountains, this small-group day tour from Sydney goes where the tour buses don't. In a group of no more than 10, walk into the bush and find wild kangaroos grazing in Megalong Valley, then take real trails to lookouts most tours never reach. Want to push further on a longer, steeper stretch? You can. Want the shorter, easier path to the same view? You can do that too, and the group meets back up on the other side. Lunch is a proper Aussie pie with salad from Mountain High Pies, an award-winning Blue Mountains bakery, with around 20 varieties including vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free. As dusk falls at Echo Point, enjoy a twilight spread of Shiraz, Brie and Danish Blue cheese, crackers, hummus and Australian sweets while Sulphur-Crested Cockatoos dive off the escarpment to roost. Included, not an upsell. Roughly 10 hours door to door, this is a tour for those seeking some soft adventure in nature.

Beautiful views with a very knowledgeable guide! Great lunch, snacks & small enough group to get to know each other. Had a wonderful day!

Best Tour Ever!
Craig was a wonderful guide and, as promised, took us to remote areas so we could enjoy the scenery without big crowds. There were only five of us total. My party of three had a great time.
Response from the operator: It was lovely having you and your group along, Patricia. With only five of us that day, we could keep things really relaxed and make the most of those quieter places. Thanks for choosing to explore the Blue Mountains with me!
via Viator
Awesome tour
A great day spent off the beaten track. Craig was an excellent host, very knowledgeable and personable. Will highly recommend this tour.
Response from the operator: Thanks for the kind words!

Sydney trip highlight
This was the highlight of my one-week trip to Sydney! Craig took our small group to off-the-beaten paths where no other tourists go so we had the places to ourselves. He’s also a wealth of information as far as Australia’s history. Seeing kangaroos in the wild was pretty awesome and the wine and snacks at dusk were the perfect way to cap off the day. Highly recommended to adventure-seeking folks!
Response from the operator: Thank you Joyce. I’m so pleased the tour was such a memorable part of your week in Sydney. I really appreciate your kind words and wonderful recommendation!
via Viator
Perfect trip for us
Craig knows this area so well, a fantastic guide. The perfect trip for us, nice group too mixed ages. It was great to see views from the path less trodden. I managed his most "challenging paths " and I'm no spring chicken. Fantastic pies for lunch,and I even had a choice of vegetarian options . There are options to buy anyt else cakes, snacks coffee juice at this cafe. Thrilled to see some wild kangaroo at the end of our tour, nice range of snacks and glass of wine , Ladies incase you wonder there are several decent loo options so very civilised.
Response from the operator: “No spring chicken” but you still conquered the challenging paths! 😄 I love it. Thanks for such a wonderfully detailed review — from the quiet trails and wild kangaroos right down to the all-important loo situation! Really glad the day suited you so well.

Why this scores 87
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Blue Mountains Wild Kangaroos & Sunset from Sydney - w/Sparkling: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sydney.
How much does Blue Mountains Wild Kangaroos & Sunset from Sydney - w/Sparkling cost?
+
Prices start at $153 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 Wild Kangaroos & Sunset from Sydney - w/Sparkling 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 Wild Kangaroos & Sunset from Sydney - w/Sparkling worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 258 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Sydney, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Blue Mountains Wild Kangaroos & Sunset from Sydney - w/Sparkling?
+
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 Wild Kangaroos & Sunset from Sydney - w/Sparkling 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 Wild Kangaroos & Sunset from Sydney - w/Sparkling?
+
Around 90 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 Wild Kangaroos & Sunset from Sydney - w/Sparkling 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, Chef-Led Hunter Valley Gourmet Food and Wine Day Tour from Sydney, Ultimate Sydney Walking Tour (Small-Group, Drink Included). 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.
