What a terrible driver have you hired ? Bruno! He has no time management, was late, annoying as hell on mic, you better think of hiring an Australian not someone half way across the world, who passes comments about other nationality over mic and local Australian colonialism. I can vouch this person has not enough experience as a tour bus operator. What an awful and annoying trip it was…

We had a great day in the company of our tour guide/driver Les, and our other fellow travellers. The blue mountains were stunning plenty of amazing views. It was great getting into the zoo early before the crowds and the scenic world attraction was great fun. Les made the day so special he was so knowledgeable, fun and friendly. We learnt so much and enjoyed a laugh. The ferry back was a bonus and a great end to a perfect day. Recommend this great trip.

Very informative but didn't know that the Sydney Harbour Bridge was modelled on a bridge near our home in the UK. It is the Tyne bridge at Newcastle. He is welcome to use it in the future when addressing his passengers.

He chatted along the way with history and fun facts and few jokes. Sharing Tim tams was a nice surprise. 5 out 5 stars for Aaron! The blue mountains was a n awesome day. Scenic world had some of the nicest views. I would highly recommend.

We stopped in numerous lookouts including Echo Point to see the 3 sisters rock foundation, Scenic world(using 3 rides and a walkway), Cahills lookout over the Megalong Valley, Leura,Lincoln's Rest abd visited Featherdale Wildlife Park where we actually fed kangaroos(one with a Joey).

Then to finish off the day we were taken to the Sydney Olympic Park jetty to catch our ferry to Barangaroo along the Parramatta River. An amazing day from start to finish with perfect weather.

We had a great experience, started by being picked up on time. With Our guides indigenous background knowledge of the city and surrounding area Karen kept us movin and entertained. The sites were gorgeous and interactions with the animals at the zoo were awesome,. A note about our guide Karen, from pointing out great coffee shops to awesome lunch eateries, bringing bird food to feed wild cockatoos at one stop, all that and a sense of humor! Awesome excursion!

After reading a few good reviews, I finally decided to book the Ocean Road trip with Wine Hop and Coastal Tours. The scheduled time was 7:00am on Sep 8, 2024. I got a message on Sep 6 that our pick up time has been changed to 6:35am at a slightly different location. As there was no scope to change the trip at such a short notice, inspite of the inconvenient timing, we decided to stick to the tour. As there was an elderly couple travelling with me with one of them having knee issue, I rushed and reached the venue at 6:38am, whereas the other members arrived at 6:44 am, which were delays of 3 minutes and 9 minutes respectively. As I was expecting a slight delay, I messaged on their number which I believed was the tour guide’s number at 6:31am (Melbourne Time) while we were walking towards the location. What followed post that was derogatory and humiliating to say the least. Warren got down from the bus instead of offering us seats and in full view of everyone, he gave an earful regarding being late. Almost all his comments began with the statement, “Don’t know about your country but here in Australia you have to play by the rules”, clearly asserting some form of dominance and bullying. He also threatened to leave us out in the cold if we got late later on during the day. He singlehandedly completely ruined the experience right from the start to the extent that one of my co-travellers was traumatized and found it very hard to participate in the activities later on in the day. Warren has a perfectly disguised two-pronged approach. He can be “nice” to someone with a smile one moment and then turn passive aggressive the next to another person. During the stop at Melba Gully rainforest, my friend approached him looking to clarify things and asked him to apologize for the treatment meted out to her parents to which he tried to shut us down, mocked us with hand gestures and later on got up on the bus and said “Don’t participate in a yelling match with me cause you guys won’t win.”, whereas all that was pointed to him was he had no right to humiliate women. He also further added, “I am expecting a review from you guys.” Warren has an extremely racial way of functioning and his behaviour is different for different sets of people (which kind of justifies some of the decent reviews he received). He also added statements in the end, “it doesnt matter what reviews come, good or bad, I get paid the same.” and “Me and my boss read reviews together and laugh.” I have used Get Your Guide for multiple tours in the past and I met amazingly kind tour guides. We had amazing experiences in Sydney, Melbourne and Tasmania over a 2-week period. However, this hands down was the worst experience and straight up derogatory, all thanks to Warren. Even though there has been a delay of approximately 7-8 minutes, the same could have been conveyed politely instead of racial threats and intimidation considering the delay was miniscule with respect to the whole trip being of duration 12-13 hours. Additionally, once I returned to India, Warren called up threatening to remove the Google review which shows how the company operates.

The day was incredible. Both K and Mehmet were amazing hosts. Loved all the commentary and suggestions. They did an awesome job managing all 48 people on the tour. The Bathing boxes were neat and Moonlit Sanctuary was fun. Phillips Island was incredible!

Exceptional tour, transfers to and from CBD and lots packed into a small amount of time! Great to do huffing Billy as well as Philip island, one of the only tours that does both so definitely worth booking. Our guide, Ben, was super friendly, enthusiastic and had exceptional knowledge, so really made the experience for our group.

Why experience the Scenic World?
A unique cliffside attraction
Perched right on the Katoomba escarpment, the place gives you eye-level views of the Three Sisters and the entire sweep of the Jamison Valley. It’s dramatic, yes, but also surprisingly accessible because you don’t need hiking boots to feel like you’ve stepped into the wilderness.
What does the Scenic World offer?
Scenic Railway
The Scenic Railway is the main attraction that connects Jamison Valley to Eaglehawk Lookout. It descends into the valley on a 52° angle, which feels a bit like being dropped into a rainforest via rollercoaster. You can adjust the tilt of your seat and the tunnel you plunge through gives it a cinematic start. Kids love it. Adults either film the whole thing or white-knuckle their way down.
Scenic Skyway
Then there’s the Scenic Skyway, which glides between cliffs 270 meters above the valley floor connecting the East Station to Eaglehawk Lookout. This route is an alternative to the Prince Henry Cliff walk. The floor is glass, which looks impressive in photos but can make you pause mid-step if heights aren’t your thing. Still, the views of Katoomba Falls and Mount Solitary from that height are genuinely amazing. It’s one of the best perspectives in the entire region.
Scenic Cableway
The Scenic Cableway is the more relaxed option. Fully enclosed and smooth, it’s how most people get from the main Scenic World building at the top down to the Jamison Valley floor, where the Rainforest Boardwalk begins. It also connects back to Eaglehawk Lookout. It’s a scenic, no-effort descent that bypasses the Giant Stairway and hiking trails, making it perfect for families with strollers, older visitors, or anyone who wants that rainforest experience without the physical strain. You get great views of Orphan Rock, Katoomba Falls, and the Three Sisters along the way.
Rainforest Boardwalk
At the base, the Rainforest Boardwalk winds through towering ferns and old-growth forest. It’s quiet, shady, and full of interpretive signs that explain how the area transitioned from a coal site into a protected World Heritage zone. There’s even a quirky little “Dinosaur Valley” here.

Insider tips
Opening hours: Monday to Tuesday from 10am to 4pm. Saturday/Sunday from 9am to 5pm.
Best time to visit: Arrive before 11am to skip the group tours and school holiday crowds.
Seasonal notes: Winter mornings are clearer, but rides may pause during heavy wind or storms.
- From Sydney by train: Catch a direct train from Sydney Central to Katoomba Station (~2 hrs). Then take the Blue Mountains Explorer Bus, taxi, or walk (~30 mins uphill).
- By car: About a 90-minute drive from Sydney CBD. On-site parking is available, but it fills fast during weekends and school holidays.
- By tour: Many full-day Blue Mountains tours include round-trip transport from Sydney and Scenic World tickets.
- Start with the Cableway → Boardwalk → Railway loop. It’s the best directional flow and less crowded in the first hour.
- Buy tickets online. It’s cheaper, faster, and lets you skip the entry queue, especially on weekends.
- The east side Skyway platform has a lesser-known angle of the Three Sisters and fewer people than Echo Point.
- Bring a windbreaker or light jacket. It gets cold in the valley, even in summer, especially on the boardwalk.
- Use the Scenic World app or QR code map for navigation, ride times, and live alerts on closures.
- If it’s foggy, do the boardwalk first. Visibility often improves within 1–2 hours, so save sky-based rides for later.
Frequently asked questions on the Scenic World tour
What rides are included in the Scenic World ticket?
Your ticket gives you unlimited access to all four attractions: Scenic Railway, Scenic Skyway, Scenic Cableway and Rainforest Boardwalk.

Usually yes, but with some conditions. Rides may pause during extreme wind or lightning for safety.
Is Scenic World wheelchair accessible?

The boardwalk has gentle gradients and handrails, and there are elevators and accessible restrooms on-site to ensure a comfortable visit for all guests.
Will my tour include a guide inside Scenic World?
While many tours include a professional guide throughout the day, the Scenic World portion is often self-guided. Guides usually offer orientation, tips, and timing recommendations before you explore the rides and rainforest boardwalk at your own pace.
How much time do I get at Scenic World during a day tour?
Tours typically allocate 1.5 to 2.5 hours at Scenic World, giving you enough time to enjoy all the rides and the rainforest walk. Some tours offer early entry before general crowds, maximizing your experience with fewer queues and better photo ops.
