Join us in an epic journey that will showcase the natural beauty of this world heritage listed region. It is filled with dramatic cliffs, eucalypt forests and waterflows so we don’t have time for theme parks or trendy café spots. Understand its history and grandeur with visits to the Jamieson, Megalong and Grose Vallay. Listen or spot our birdlife and a unique Aussie lunch. See the Three Sisters at the very best time as the sandstone rocks glow in the late afternoon sun. We start later than most tours to avoid the crowds and avoid tourist traps.

Dinner included at a local restaurant to complete a memorable day. Travel in a small group with a keen photographer guide so you will have picture perfect memories.
