Our take
This is the only tour on our Blue Mountains hiking tours page that walks the Grand Canyon Track, and it gives it three hours, more walking than any group day offers. It is fully private, with your own guide and vehicle, and priced per group, so it makes most sense split between a family or a few friends. It is rated 5.0, from about 11 reviews.
The listing's day starts with coffee in Glenbrook, drives through Leura, then descends the Grand Canyon from eucalypt forest into rainforest with streams and waterfalls. You come out to a view over the Grose Valley, then visit the Three Sisters with a short walk, drive down into the Megalong Valley, and finish at a local winery for a tasting. National park fees, bottled water and transport are included. Lunch is not; the listing puts it at about A$20 a head. Gratuities are also extra. Pickup can be from a hotel, Airbnb, the airport or a cruise terminal, at a time that suits you. The listing asks for moderate fitness.
Good for
- Fit walkers who want the Grand Canyon Track
- Families or friends sharing the cost of a private day
Think twice if
- You are travelling alone on a budget
- You want Scenic World or a wildlife park
