Why We Offer Two Different Blue Mountains Tours

The Blue Mountains is one of Australia’s most spectacular natural wonders — and a must-visit destination on any trip to Sydney. With dramatic sandstone cliffs, lush eucalyptus forests, cascading waterfalls, and charming mountain villages, it’s no surprise this UNESCO World Heritage–listed region draws millions of visitors each year.

At Colourful Collective Travel, we absolutely love the Blue Mountains. But we also know that it can get busy — especially during peak season. Many tour operators follow the same routes, stopping at the same viewpoints and attractions.

That’s why instead of turning away from the region, we decided to do something different:
👉 We created two unique Blue Mountains day tours, designed for different styles of travellers. Whether you want to tick off the iconic sights in comfort or escape the crowds to discover hidden rainforest trails, we’ve got you covered.

🦘 A Special Stop: Featherdale Wildlife Park

Before we even reach the mountains, both of our tours make a stop at Featherdale Wildlife Park — one of Sydney’s most beloved wildlife experiences.

Located on the way to the Blue Mountains, Featherdale is home to an incredible range of native Australian animals, including kangaroos, wallabies, wombats, emus, dingoes and even the elusive quokka. Visitors also have the chance to see Australia’s famous koalas up close.

But Featherdale is more than just a fun photo stop — it’s known for its strong conservation and education efforts. The park plays an important role in protecting and rehabilitating native species, while educating visitors about Australia’s unique wildlife and ecosystems.

Stopping here gives travellers a chance to learn about native animals in a responsible, ethical way and often ends up being one of the most memorable parts of the day.
