Blue Mountains Discovery

Your experience begins as you join a small group tour from Sydney to the Blue Mountains via some of New South Wales' most picturesque scenery. On your journey to the heart of this World Heritage region, you'll stop at Calmsley Hill for morning tea with time to explore the working farm and see its population of kangaroos, emus, wombats and koalas. You'll also stop at a lookout point for a spectacular photo opportunity before arriving at your hotel accommodation with the rest of the day to explore at your own pace. With stunning views across the Blue Mountains, Lilianfels Blue Mountains Resort and Spa is an exclusive retreat offering boutique rooms, spa facilities, two heated pools, and multi-award winning restaurants and bars.

Today you'll have the day to yourself, and there are plenty of ways to spend your time in this breathtaking corner of the world. Onsite, the resort boasts tennis courts among the pine forests, complimentary mountain bike hire and a 13-metre heated outdoor infinity pool overlooking the Jamison Valley. If you're keen to get out and explore, a range of tours are available, from the world's steepest passenger railway – the Scenic Railway – to a Segway tour of the forested mountains. Back at the hotel, try afternoon tea in The Lounge, enjoy a massage in the indulgent Lilianfels Spa or relax as you sample some world-class regional wines.

Make the most of the fresh mountain air this morning with some time in the resort before being collected at around 11.45am to re-join your small-group tour for a scenic return to Sydney. You'll head first towards Blackheath village for an included lunch at the Boiler House Café, complete with panoramic mountain views. Then, stop at Govetts Leap, a lookout with views across the countryside, and the Mt Tomah Botanic Gardens, where you'll enjoy a delicious glass of sparkling wine before heading back to the city.
