This awe-inspiring NSW day trip was just voted the best experience in all of Australia
When you think of top experiences in Australia, you tend to think of something around our photogenic harbour, like the Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb. But another New South Wales’ activity has topped Australia’s ‘Top Experiences’ list in Tripadvisor’s 2024 Travellers’ Choice Awards. The Small Group Blue Mountains Day Trip has been crowned the Top Experience in all of Australia. The tour visits Scenic World, but it's run independently by family business Anderson’s Tours.
Scenic World, at the Three Sisters in Katoomba, is the Blue Mountains’ main hub of mountainy attractions, and it's one of the attractions you'll visit as part of this small-group day trip from Sydney. As part of the 10-hour round trip, you’ll go on the Scenic Railway (the world’s steepest rail trip), ride the glass-bottom Scenic Skyway cable car, walk through the valley, get up close and personal with animals like kangaroos and wallabies at Featherdale Sydney Wildlife Park, and cap off the day with a relaxing river cruise and meal. Not a bad day out at all.
The experience topped the pops because it’s so highly rated on Tripadvisor – it has a perfect five-star score, with a total of 3,307 reviews.

FROM OUR GUESTS
Our Animals come first
We're proud to be custodians of over 260 species of Native Australian animals
Featherdale Sydney Wildlife Park is dedicated to the future of all Australian native animals and takes pride in its role as custodians of the world's largest collection of Australian native animals - with over 2000 native animals in our care. Our Featherdale animals are like family to us, and are exceptional ambassadors for their species.
SOUTHERN HAIRY-NOSED WOMBAT
Affectionately known as ‘bulldozers of the bush’, wombats create remarkably large burrow. These underground homes offer perfect protection from extreme climates and predators, ensuring their safety year-round.
Kookaburra
Laughing Kookaburras are very territorial and sedentary, usually living in small family groups which co-operate in raising young and protecting territory
Tasmanian Devil
Tasmanian Devils are primarily solitary animals, living in territories that may intersect other individual’s territories. Each territory will have 3-4 dens, which can be utilised for years, especially by females with young.
Dingo
Dingoes do not bark as is the case with domestic dogs. The alpha male and female will usually be the only breeding pair in the pack, with other subordinate members assisting in the rearing of pups.
Cassowary
Southern Cassowaries are solitary birds, coming together only during breeding season from July-September
Penguin
Little Penguins live in colonies that can have hundreds of members ashore at one time. From June-August, males will come ashore and renovate old burrows or dig new ones.
Echidna
Short-beaked Echidnas belong to a unique group of mammals called Monotremes. Apart from echidnas, the only other animal in the world that belongs to this group is the Platypus.
Kangaroo Island Kangaroo
Like other Kangaroo species, Kangaroo Island Kangaroos live in mobs consisting of a dominant male, several adult females and subordinate males, and joeys.
Yellow Footed Rock Wallaby
Yellow-footed Rock-wallabies live in colonies of up to 100 individuals, consisting of smaller groups with a dominant male, females and sub-dominant males.
WOODSWALLOW
Extremely social birds, woodswallows are uniquely known for perching closely together as a flock. This behaviour not only strengthens social bonds but also conserves energy and retains warmth through the night.
Lorikeet
Calling all bird lovers to our walk through Lorikeet enclosure. Enjoy our stunning Lorikeets flying around and possibly even landing on you!
EMU
Emus are the world’s second tallest bird, and third heaviest. They are a flightless species- however they do have small wings which they use to cool themselves.
Quokka
Often called “the happiest animal in the world”, Quokkas are a small marsupial related to Kangaroos
GLOSSY BLACK COCKATOO
Glossy black cockatoos are among Australia’s rarest. When a chick emerges from its tree hollow, it’s a significant moment not just for the proud parents but for the entire species
Wombat
Common Wombats are a short, robust marsupial native to south-east Australia and Tasmania
KOALA
Koalas are not a bear, but are in fact a marsupial. Koalas have thick fur that ranges from very light to very dark grey on the head and body, with white patching on the bottom, chest and ears.
