Description

Come along with us on a one-day hike in the Blue Mountains. Even though they’re just an hour and a half drive from Sydney, you’ll feel as though you’re worlds away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

From rugged cliffs to waterfalls and more, the scenery in the Blue Mountains is dramatic, and you’ll get amazing views at almost every turn you take.

Our hike will take around six hours in total and we’ll cover around 14 km. That will give us the opportunity to explore a few different trails in the Blue Mountain National Park and take in the diverse scenery.

We’ll start by taking the Charles Darwin Path to the Wentworth Falls. We’ll then descend the Giant Stairway (that’s 862 steps!) to Jamison Valley. This stairway is actually the tallest natural stairway in Australia. This part of the hike can be dizzying but we’ll take our time and enjoy it. After that, we’ll enjoy a local lunch before we begin our hike back.

You do not want to miss this opportunity to go hiking near Sydney. Book now and secure your spot.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
