Join me on this stunning and gorgeous half-day hike through the National Pass in the Blue Mountains National Park, near Sydney, and we will be exposed to and explore the many natural wonders of the area, from the mesmerizing and tranquil waterfalls and waterways, to the vast tracts of pristine native Aussie bushland, to the myriad of ancient rock formations and cliff faces.
The Blue Mountains National Park is an Australian UNESCO World Heritage Area located 50km West of the centre of the New South Wales state capital city of Sydney, and is famous for its masses of flora and fauna, as we as its rock formations, including the renowned Three Sisters. It is a very popular spot for outdoor activities owing to its wide-open spaces and proximity to Sydney.
Our hike begins at the Wentworth Falls picnic area, and from there we head to the awe-inspiring Jamison lookout, featuring sweeping panoramic views out over the tranquil, idyllic landscape.
From here we then tackle the historic Grand Stairway, a whopping 998 steps that leads us down to the peaceful Valley of the Waters, aptly named due to it housing the truly beguiling and alluring Empress, Silvia and Lodore falls.
During the course of the hike there will be ample time to take in and admire the absolutely amazing views of the landscape, scenery and terrain around us, with the masses of eucalyptus trees, rare and exotic plants and flowers, and native animals such as koalas and kangaroos providing an unforgettable setting. Make sure you bring your camera!
We finish the hike up at the conservation centre, hopefully having made you fall for this gorgeous part of Australia and encouraged you to check more of it out!
Book now to experience the best natural beauty Australia has to offer, just a short drive from Sydney!

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.
