ULTIMATE BLUE MOUNTAIN SYDNEY Day Trip Travel Guide - How to Travel Blue Mountains Australia

Tucked 2 hours away from Sydney is the world heritage Blue Mountains. In this episode we are sharing some of the best things to do in Sydney’s Blue Mountains, whether a Blue Mountain Day Trip from Sydney or a weekend up there, Blue Mountains has one of the most breath taking picturesque scenes you’ll ever see around Sydney, Australia
To start your journey take the train from Central Station Grand Concourse towards Katoomba Station, where you’ll take the Loop bus at Bathurst Road that takes you to Echo Point Lookout, Scenic world and back.
For Discounted Scenic Railway Pass get them from Klook:
www.klook.com/en-AU/activity/...
If you are taking the Train and using the Opal Card it will only set you back $2.80 if you are visiting the blue mountains on a Sunday.
On the way back head down to Leura for its vintage offering and nice cafes, perfect stop before heading back to Sydney.

[@champorad0]

You are the only youtube channel to actually do a detailed vlog about Sydney. It is super helpful. I've been trying to find useful and informative vlogs about Australia and yours is the only one that really helps. I hope you keep this up! There are so many beautiful places in Australia but it lacks vlogs for people who wants to visit. 🤩

[@nickandhelmi]

aww that is so nice for you to say! - we are so happy that you enjoyed our detailed guide :D - yes we hope to make more for sydney and our upcoming taipei and korea trip :D hehe.!

[@champorad0]

[@FoodandFootprints]

Nick and Helmi 🤣🤣

[@jimcrawford5039]

Native Australian gum trees, no autumn colours in these! They are evergreen.

[@princesspeacock]

Visiting Sydney for the first time this October and your videos has been extremely helpful in planning for the trip! Definitely gonna check out Blue Mountains on a Sunday (just gotta brave the crowd and queues!) 😉

[@nickandhelmi]

Thanks so much yvonne, so happy to know this is so useful for first time traveller like yourselves🙏 We also made 10 tips to know before coming down and cheap eats (top 15 food under $10 in sydney cbd), hopefully it will be useful for your planning.

[@CanberraDiaries]

Wow that shots...looks so professional. Amazing vlogs... Keep going.

[@nickandhelmi]

Thank you so much 🙌🏻

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Great video for tourists who want to do it on their own 👍🏻 Lol $2.8 is so cheap, but the drawback is you have to fight w other tourits to get to the bus yeah 😆 We went once with a bus tour company a few years ago, I think only cost less than $100 includes Cableway and Skyway, plus full day of guided tour. We prefer this way so we get all the information from the local guided tour, and the trip became more meaningful. The guide even explained about all different flora and fauna in the park. So for us it’s a value for money 👍🏻

[@nickandhelmi]

Guided bus tour is good option too, especially to know the history and knowledge in depth🙂 Yeah a lot of overseas and local tourists like us on sunday haha

[@nazfromqueens]

Great tip on the pass. I dont like heights but since Naz always makes me go to high places I am getting better. We could handle this!

[@nickandhelmi]

Daniel&Naz haha im like you - im afraid of heights haha 🤣, its called retake you wont see it on the vlog haha

[@XavierLeong]

This is fantastic, so glad to have found your channel! Have always wanted to visit Australia, it is near the top of my bucket list!

[@nickandhelmi]

Xavier's Leong Way From Home sup xav - you found us long time ago lol.. so did i.. 🤣 but you just stopped watching.

Wow, what an awesome place the Blue Mountains are, we can see why you did such a details and fun vlog...so much to do and see! You need a good head for heights too on some of those cable cars😮😮😮Thanks so much for sharing👍👍👍

[@nickandhelmi]

agree let's take it as exercise haha.. thanks yvonne 😄

[@HangryByNature]

That is AWESOME.. I didn't know that you could take so many rides at the Blue Mountains. I thought it was just hiking around and I was like.. gosh, that's too much effort, I'm too unfit for this haha. I'm loving your narration at the start of your vids.. really sets the scene nicely.

[@nickandhelmi]

Hangry By Nature except for the three sister - its a like blue mountains w kids guide huahah 😅 i just need to pop the lil ones hahah

[@nickandhelmi]

hahaha do you usually hike vic? 😝😀

[@NinoNiemanThe1st]

Thanks for the very informative video about a day trip to Australia's Blue Mountains just outside Sydney. Lots of good info in there, but funny that the tourist buses make the place look like downtown Shanghai, and also that @10:27, most of the products the 'Marahani Boutique' you're flogging came from China in the first place!

[@wendykoh9746]

Nice video

[@sidg3844]

I’m thinking for doing this ❤️

[@nickandhelmi]

Enjoyy☺

[@FoodandFootprints]

World’s Steepest Railway? Very cool! And you can choose your ride steepness too?

[@nickandhelmi]

Food and Footprints we went cliffhanger mode 🤔 i think haha! Which was like 64 degrees lol 😂

[@ALxdCr4ftPlays]

Nice video and good tips for visitors. I'm from New Zealand and have booked 11 Nights accomodation at end of this year. There are tour groups (crowded or expensive), hire a car, or yes train. Sydney needs more double decker buses like NZ has, but its an awesome place to visit.

[@nickandhelmi]

yep we don't have many double decker buses for daytrips etc, they are more for just from city & suburb. hopefully you are enjoying sydney & surroundings :) Port Stephens is a great place to visit too.

[@socielledstance]

Thank you guys for this. I'm going to Blue Mountains (and Sydney) for the first time in September and this video basically explains how to get from Katoomba to Echo Points and Scenic World in the best way. I know that Sunday is probably good to go because of the cheap fare but what about the crowd? What day is the best to go with less crowd or it's just the same throughout the week? And I wonder how will the weather be in Sydney by then? Thanks a lot guys!

[@nickandhelmi]

fareed_ hi Fareed ! Hey 😬🙌, yes agreed its cheaper on klook for the experiences- however for transport if you are going by train sunday is the cheapest at 2.80 But yes if you want less crowd your best bet is weekdays 🤣. September weather is nicer here because it’s spring- not as cold and not as hot . In summer this place can be ridiculously hot haha. Hope that helps! :) and hope you enjoy sydney

[@NinisCooking]

Damn that place is amazing... without the crowd, it must be magical !

[@nickandhelmi]

Nin is Cooking haha unless im there at 6am! Haha hard to avoid the crowd

[@NinisCooking]

@@nickandhelmi So you know what to do next time... wake up earlier !

[@nickandhelmi]

[@JamesyboyExperiment]

Ah, Blue Mountains!!! Bucket list time👍 Can you actually drive into the area itself or is it protected? Stunning views guys!!!!!😜

[@nickandhelmi]

yess blue mountains!! only can drive & park near the tourist location then walk (lots of walking) around 😀

[@JaniceFung]

mmm manuka honey - i always buy it for my grandma when i go to hong kong haha

[@nickandhelmi]

lol yeah it's like souvenir from AU haha

[@luckypaper1504]

Nice video^_^

[@nickandhelmi]

thank you so much :D

[@jimbojhonson4121]

there is a better bus to catch. The explorer bus is cheaper and is a double decker so you see the great views. the bus you catched was just the local bus which tends to get ridiculously crowded. If your going to the blue mountains I recommend you get the explorer bus

[@nickandhelmi]

Thanks Jimbo! :D never knew that one!

[@123leoraman]

Hey mate nice informative video but can you pls share the timings of your visit and when did you start your day in the morning from Sydney central to Kantoomba. Any tip to cover all the three ways-railways view, cable view, sky way?

[@onlyinaustralia7641]

We love Blue Mountains The view is really breathtaking out there That's cool you guys went down there at the echo point We didn't do the skyway We'd really like to try the scenic railway. Yes it is the steepest in the world The cable way is nice 👍 Australia has lots of little towns Leura looks nice and Maharani has got some cool stuffs That's a bargain travelling to Blue Mountains on Sunday from Sydney Ps:Trust me you look more prepared for winter than how I dress in winter time 🤣

[@nickandhelmi]

Only In Australia haha thanks guys! Maybe you are more used to the winter over me haha 🥶

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

That funicular and the Steepest railway... So cool. We would be all over that honey too. Good price on Sunday, nice.

[@nickandhelmi]

yep steepest railway lol

[@PuriandSue]

There Nick, some exercise using the stairs :P The view is amazing, but I'm worried of the height hahaha!!

[@nickandhelmi]

Puri and Sue oh yes it was scary - the wind part mainly ! Very windy - you hear that wind noise! Through the deadcat 😅

Hi...Superb video....I am visiting in October...Will it be very hot in October end .. I am with my parents... They r in 70s....Will it be difficult for them?

[@AnSEpisodes]

This is one of our destination to bring our family/ friends from overseas...and question we got "Why's not blue this mountain???" haha and that "I love my job" sock is hilarious..:D

[@nickandhelmi]

hahaa oh yesss i think people will wonder why is it called blue mountain 😅😂

[@jaydanjm9589]

Welllll, some days it will look blue, especially on camera. If you take a photo and enhance the colour you will see it become blue. This is because of the eucalyptus trees (But not the mountains them self, just the area around them)

[@bearsandbutters]

Hey Nick & Helmi!! So great to see you and we hope that you're feeling better!! This was so beautiful to see the Blue Mountains and your entire adventure getting there, exploring and coming back! That's awesome you can take the train there for $2.80 on Sundays!! Seems like a really great price!! The Echo Point lookout was so beautiful, and that sky tram was too cool.. We would love to ride on that!! Sorry to hear that it was really cold there, but at least it was sunny!! The 3 sisters were so beautiful and awesome to see you take a steep trail down there!! Butters was lucky enough to have friends who had a pilots license, and got to fly over them in an Ultralight plane back in 2000!!! It was definitely a beautiful experience to see the Bluey's from that vantage point!! Great video and we hope you have an awesome rest of your week!! Lots of love to you both!

[@nickandhelmi]

Hey bears & butters, glad you enjoy the video 😄 oh woww it must've been once in a lifetime experience to fly over it!!😍 manuka honey is so good, it is our medicine for cold & flu hehe..

[@fourthcortes2284]

Looks great! What month did you go there?
