Fantastic 5.0
our tour guide Mr.Lee is very nice, knowledgeable, caring. it was a bad weather day for the tour but he still took us through all the locations and be our great photographer. he very very knowledgeable of the places but it was so foggy that we couldn’t see anything. he also has umbrella and raincoat for us. in the end we just went back to the city early and he took us to 2 views point instead , it was still pretty bad we didn’t have to walk to the view points.

difficulty of the hike: sheeesh, those stairs of doom (an optional part) will really tire you out! so just a FYI to go at your own pace and be mindful of this. other than the stairs of doom, everything else is super beautiful and it was a great experience!

Great 4.0
This is suitable for first-time to Sydney and has never been to Blue Mountain. I have been to Blue Mountain many times but have never been to Wethworth Falls, it just so happens that there is this tour visiting Wethworth Falls, so I tried to join this tour. The tour guide and driver explained in detail from the Anzac bridge to the rocks on the blue mountain. Actually, the sunset at Blue Mountain seems ordinary. I recommend seeing the sunset at Twelve Apostles on Melbourne's Great Ocean Road.

It was absolutely worth it! Getting to experience the Skyway, Cableway, and the steep Railway all in one go was such a blast. The railway incline is a bit of a thrill, and the views are just unbeatable. I especially loved walking along the rainforest Walkway—the air was so fresh and peaceful. If you’re lucky with the weather, seeing the Three Sisters and the entire valley from the cable car is truly breathtaking. I’d recommend you to stay at the Echo Point Lookout for the sunset! It’s a must-do if you're in the area and definitely a highlight of my trip!

Today was a truly fulfilling day, from the sunset tour to Featherdale Wildlife Park, the Blue Mountains, and finally, the stargazing tour! 😊 The star photos taken by guide Cha Kyung-seop at night turned out so beautifully that they will surely be one of the most memorable moments of my trip. He took the time to carefully photograph each person and provided excellent explanations, making the tour comfortable and enjoyable. It was a truly satisfying tour, allowing me to experience the magnificent scenery of the Blue Mountains, a beautiful sunset, and finally, the starlit sky, all in one day. Thank you, guide Cha Kyung-seop, for leaving us with wonderful memories and beautiful photos! ✨

Had an incredible Blue Mountains day tour with Tom as our guide and driver. He was friendly, organised, and genuinely passionate about the area, which made every stop more meaningful. The views were stunning, the pacing was perfect, and Tom made the whole experience smooth and stress‑free — highly recommended.

Our minibus driver/tour guide was very accommodating and shared a lot of insights and fun facts about Sydney. The schedule was flexible and he moved the Three Sister to the afternoon because it was foggy in the morning. The package included tickets to the 3 main rides in Scenic World which was fun. We had enough time to go around, rest and relax. Pick-up and drop-off at the meeting point was hassle-free. Would definitely recommend this tour!

We had a wonderful experience with Jimmy as our guide. He was exceptionally organised, funny and highly informative throughout the tour. We visited 4 places and they were interesting and beuatiful.His explanations were detailed and engaging, helping us appreciate the history and significance of the places we visited. Although we did not understand Korean, we were able to follow along easily using a translation app. The Blue Mountains were absolutely stunning, with breathtaking scenery at every turn. Thanks to Jimmy's excellent guidance, the trip was both enjoyable and memorable. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would highly recommend him to anyone visiting the area.

Had an amazing experience with Klook! The entire trip was very well organized, and our guide was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and explained everything really well. I was traveling solo, but I never felt bored for a moment. It turned out to be an unforgettable experience. Thank you, Klook, for making my trip so enjoyable. Highly recommended!

What to know before visiting Blue Mountains

Quick snapshot of Katoomba and what visitors book

Katoomba draws most bookings for tours, cable car rides and outdoor activities, and demand on Klook has a clear seasonal rhythm through the year. Peak demand arrives in April while late spring to early summer shows steady interest, and quieter months appear toward the end of the year.

When to visit and how prices behave

According to Klook booking data, April is the busiest month and November is the quietest. Prices climb toward the end of the year: December is typically the priciest month on Klook, while March is usually the cheapest. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for March or the quieter late‑year months; for the peak atmosphere and the busiest activity schedules, plan for April. Note that demand and prices diverge around year‑end — demand falls but prices jump into December.

Tips for travellers from the United States

Most visitors from the United States book around six days ahead on average, with last‑minute options available about a day out and earlier bookings common around two weeks. If you have a short itinerary you can be flexible and still find activities close to your travel dates, but for popular dates in April consider locking in tours and cable car experiences a week or two ahead. Use Klook to compare availability and secure bookings once your travel days are set.
