Overview
Doing a world heritage listed national park justice by allowing plenty of space and time to explore the breathtaking Great Blue Mountains, the Central Tablelands and the Great Dividing Ranges of NSW is our Blue Mountain overnight safari. As with all Dingo Tours, this personalised two-day adventure is all about wildlife, nature and Aussie authenticity.
No overcrowded coaches, over priced tourist traps or rushed canteen lunches. Instead, join a small group (maximum 8 people) to see wild eastern grey kangaroos, wombats, swamp wallabies, and even a platypus in the wild.
You will see eastern spine bills, white-cheeked honey-eaters, yellow-tailed black cockatoos, superb lyrebirds and crimson rosellas on our trip to and beyond waterfalls, hidden canyons, blue gum forests and quaint country towns. Includes morning tea in the bush, a picnic lunch (day one), a sit-down lunch (day 2), a cooked breakfast (day 2) and 1 night accommodation in the heritage Jenolan Caves House.
