About this tour

What to expect
Depart early from Central Station and travel into the mountains, spending the first half of your day exploring Scenic World's three-way transport network and soaking in the valley views. After wildlife encounters and Leura's village charm, you'll head back to Sydney by afternoon. The second half is entirely self-directed: board the Big Bus at any of 34 stops to see Opera House, Harbour Bridge, and coastal suburbs at your preferred pace. You'll buy lunch in Leura; bring cash or cards for cafés and shops.
Good to know
Start early to maximise daylight in the mountains. Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring sunscreen—exposed lookout areas offer no shade. Your 24-hour bus ticket activates when first used, so time it strategically if you plan evening exploration. Public transport nearby if you prefer independent return journeys.
