The tour to Blue Mountain National Park is such a bliss! The joy and laughter was, especially, attributable to our cheerful tour guide, Ricky. To start off, he is an Italian who enjoys pizza with pineapples. He s really helpful taking beautiful photos and creating laughters throughout the journey. A HIGHLY recommended trip for you all.

Thanks to Kelvin Sung's detailed explanations, I was able to efficiently explore Featherdale Wildlife Park in a short amount of time, understanding the characteristics and routes of various animals. During the Blue Ocean Sunset Tour, his prompt guidance also allowed me to capture great photos with beautiful backdrops. I was initially worried about the weather forecast predicting clouds in the evening, but thanks to our guide, I was able to quickly enjoy a brief stargazing experience at an excellent spot. I'm incredibly grateful to our guide for diligently taking photos of me throughout the tour, even though I was traveling alone, and for always striving to provide the best possible convenience. It was a truly satisfying tour!

The pick up was from our hotel which was super convenient. Our guide Perry is very friendly as he is able to speak Cantonese and English. We enjoyed our trip to blue mountain as we are able to take all 3 scenic rides. We really love it. Not only that, we took a lot photos during this trip. It was very memorable.

We had Phil as our guide and really had a great experience! Unfortunately it was foggy on the day of our tour so we didn't really see much of the views but it was no one's fault. Phil makes it up with how efficient he was especially with the scenic views. We went opposite of the other tours so we didn't really had to line up for any cable rides. This saved up a lot of time so the entire tour wasn't rushed, we had enough time for breakfast, photos, souvenirs, lunch, zoo etc. He also recommended nice places for lunch. Also very knowledgeable and had a lot of trivia during the ride. Overall a good spend and price is worth it! I went on a solo trip and still had a great time!

What to know before visiting Sydney

Quick snapshot of Sydney and what to expect

Sydney’s Klook bookings are led by zoos & aquariums, tours and cruises, with outdoor activities and attraction passes also popular. Demand peaks in February and eases toward October, giving the city a year-round rhythm that mixes busy summer energy with quieter shoulder months.

Best times to visit based on crowds and prices

Klook data shows February as the busiest month and October as the quietest. Prices on Klook are typically highest around July and drift lower through autumn, with November appearing as the month with the lowest typical prices. For lower prices and smaller crowds aim for October–November; for peak-season atmosphere and the liveliest scene, plan for February. Note that prices and demand don’t move in lockstep here: July can be pricey even though it isn’t the absolute peak month for bookings.

Tips for travellers from the United States

Most travellers from the United States book fairly close to travel: typical Klook lead time is about a day, with many bookings made last-minute and a modest window for early planners. That means you can often plan flexibly and still find options, but during February’s busy period consider booking earlier — around a week ahead — for popular tours, cruises and outdoor experiences. Use Klook to lock in tickets and passes when your dates are set to avoid missing sold-out slots.
