Blue
Mountains, Jenolan Caves Day Tour
Like to take a bus tour from Sydney to see the famous 3 Sisters rock formations, great mountain scenery
and the best limestone caves in Australia? Then the Sydney Blue Mountains Jenolan
Caves tour is ideal for you.
You will travel from Sydney into the Blue Mountains west of Sydney
and stop at the Katoomba
Scenic World where you can take a ride on the steepest rail cable
car in Australia, down to the floor of Jamieson Valley or take a ride
across the valley on the skyway gondola. Both give fantastic views of
the 3 sisters, plus you get panoramic views of Katoomba Falls and the
Jamieson Valley.
After enjoying the fabulous views at Scenic World, learning the 2 stories
as to how the three sisters were formed and taking many photographs
at Katoomba, reboard the bus for the trip through the Megalong Valley
to Jenolan Caves. Be prepared for something extra special as Jenolan
Caves are the best examples of underground limestone formations in Australia.
As
you near the caves you will be absolutely astounded by the natural beauty
of the Grand Entrance to Jenolan
Caves area and you haven't even gone underground yet. The entrance
is a huge natural cavern through the mountain and there is just enough
room for the bus driver to squeeze the luxury coach through, with only
inches to spare either side. A really spectacular entrance.
Have lunch at the quaint cottage inside the grand entrance and then
join the guided tour through the caves to see the most impressive array
of stalactites,
stalagmites and other limestone formations built over many thousands
of years. Make sure you have your camera ready as there are just so
many photo opportunities on this whole trip.
"This is one of those trips that you are sad to finish. I personally
rate this tour equal with the Great Ocean Road bus tour as being the
best I have ever taken anywhere in the world. The Jenolan Caves are
fascinating and beautiful, leaving you with a sense of awe that there
is such beauty in nature."
