This Blue Mountains day packs in the two things most visitors want from the trip west of Sydney: close encounters with Aussie animals, and the full Scenic World ride from cliff top to valley floor. You travel in a Mercedes with no more than 15 guests, so stops feel relaxed rather than rushed.First up is Featherdale Wildlife Park, about 40 minutes from the city, where you can hand feed kangaroos and meet koalas, wombats, quokkas and Tasmanian devils. If they become your favourites, our guides to where to see quokkas and where to see wombats show where to find them in the wild.At Scenic World in the Jamison Valley, you drop down on the Scenic Railway, wander the rainforest boardwalk, ride the Scenic Cableway back up and finish on the glass floored Scenic Skyway.After free time for lunch in Leura village, you take in the Three Sisters from Echo Point in the afternoon light, then stop at Cahills Lookout and Boars Head Lookout over the Megalong Valley before the drive back to Darling Harbour, Central or The Rocks.Explore the itinerary, check availability for your date, then book your seat for a full day in the mountains.
