Craving raw, rugged adventure? This 3-hour guided tour is your chance to explore the Blue Mountains' majestic scenery from an ex-military vehicle.

Highlights

Explore Australia's Blue Mountains – peaks, plateaus, and all – on a 3-hour adventure in a one-of-a-kind ex-army truck.
With an expert guide by your side, explore the UNESCO World Heritage scenery in this open-air Wombat with elevated seating.
Marvel at the Jamison Valley waterfalls, eucalyptus trees of Megalong Valley, and cliffs of Grose Valley, as you hop off your vehicle for short walks.
Those blue shades on the mountains? That’s eucalyptus magic. The trees’ oil mists up and turns the mountains a dreamy blue.
Fun fact: The Blue Mountains are about 300 million years old, but it’s said the rocks under the mountains are about 470 million years old. That’s about 10 times older than the Grand Canyon!

Your experience

Journey into the wilderness

Brace yourself for an exhilarating 3-hour Blue Mountains army truck adventure. You'll be in for an adrenaline boost as you board the robust ex-military truck, your chariot for this adventure. Your experienced guide will navigate the challenging terrain while sharing fascinating tales about the region's history, flora, and fauna. Traverse valleys, plateaus, and peaks to experience the rugged beauty that earned the Blue Mountains their UNESCO World Heritage status.

Blue haze secrets

As you embark on short walks, see the 3 most popular valleys of the Blue Mountains. With views of the steep ridges that mark the valley and vast eucalypt forests, the blue haze veiling the Megalong Valley will leave you stunned. Fed by the Grose River, the Grose Valley has developed gorges, canyons, and the steepest cliffs of the Blue Mountains. The Coxs River created the Jamison Valley over millions of years, where you can visit waterfalls like Wentworth, Gordon, Leura, and Katoomba Falls. This is your chance to immerse yourself in the unique charm of the blue plateaus and gorges, making this an unforgettable experience.
