What to expect
You'll be collected from your Sydney hotel and driven to Featherdale while most visitors are still asleep, giving you an uncrowded window with the animals. After watching koalas and wallabies, your guide takes you to a private spot for tea and toast before returning to the park to roam at your own pace. The drive into the mountains reveals the Three Sisters formation and valley vistas from various lookouts. Lunch is a proper sit-down affair at a local Leura restaurant with your choice of wine or beer. The day finishes with a gentle walk through mountain bush before heading back to the city.
