Blue Mountains school excursions:
classrooms in nature

The Blue Mountains is a significant World Heritage Area

Famous for the challenge it presented in the westward expansion of the fledgling colony, and the resultant first contact with Aboriginal people in the region, in the Blue Mountains students will discover many natural wonders along with first contact and colonial history.

Build your excursion experience

Many of our westbound tours take the opportunity to stop for morning tea or lunch at some of the breathtaking lookouts in the Blue Mountains. We can also tailor an excursion that focuses exclusively on the Blue Mountains area.

Travel

Travelling by coach through the Blue Mountains offers a scenic way to explore the region with our drivers. Enjoy the breathtaking landscapes as you travel to educational destinations within the Mountains or further west.

Experiences

Re-trace part of The Three Explorer’s journey across the Blue Mountains, seeing parts of the original route and hearing of the hardships encountered, the role of convicts, and first contact with Aboriginal people in the region. Experience the thrill of the Scenic Railway, Skyway and Cableway at Scenic World, providing easy access to a boardwalk through temperate rainforest in the Jamison Valley where remains of early coal mining endeavours are still visible. Engage in interactive programs with National Parks and Wildlife Service Discovery Rangers, unravelling the mysteries of rainforests, environmental sustainability, and Aboriginal history. From Echo Point Lookout enjoy views of the iconic geological formation known as The Three Sisters.

There are many more venues and programs available. Through our enquiry process, we will discuss your excursion focus and required outcomes to tailor a proposal to your needs.
