Starting the Adventure from Sydney: The Coast Warriors Blue Mountains adventure commences with some downtown city Sydney pickups near your accommodation or lightrail/train stop. After everyone shuffles on the minibus we have an hour drive through some tunnels, motorways and western Sydney on our way to the Blue Mountains. Spend this hour to connect with your seat neighbours, chill out to the bus playlist or feeling a little tired then grab a bit of sleep. As we enter the lower Blue Mountains we pull of the Great Western Highway and enter the local National Park to head over to a cool lookout where the bush of the lower Blue Mountains meets the suburbs of greater Sydney. In this part of the National Park we have a lovely little drive up and down some steep hills, through thick Eucalyptus bush, drive through a shallow river and sometimes we spot the occasional wallaby or kangaroo from the bus (rare). About 10 minutes later we stop by Glenbrook which is the hometown of one of our awesome local guides who has put together this evolving awesome day trips itinerary. In Glenbrook we’ll stop for a short coffee/smoothie/chai latte, bathrooms, grab some take away brekkie. Glenny shops has lots of options all within a short stroll. Overnight oats, yoghurt cups, bacon & egg rolls, fruit, donut shop, vegetarian/vegan snacks and a small supermarket if you forgot your water or sunblock. After our toilet & snacks stop we head further up the mountains climbing about 700 meters in altitude over a 35 min drive. Be sure to grab a coffee as you are not allowed to sleep anymore. We often play a connecting game on this drive or get the interactive playlist going on the bus. Lincolns Rock lookout is next on the agenda. Lincoln Rock is also known as flat rock on blog sites and is a lookout where you really feel like you are standing on the edge of the world. This stop is a short and easy stroll from the bus, pretty much no hills. We spend enough time here to spread out and get amazing photos overlooking the huge Jamison Valley with Mt Solitary in the distance. This is where you will likely get that new profile picture….we see it lots ha ha. No fence here so please stay 2 meters from all edges. Next we do a short drive over to Wenty Falls (Wentworth Falls) for our guided waterfall nature walk. This walk is amazing and we are so happy to be able to share its beauty with you. This bushwalk is a total of approximately 90 minutes to 2 hours. On this walk we have ongoing views through the gum tree into the vast valley with its distant light blue haze. We see multiple waterfalls and cascades including the big 187 meter waterfall. Keep your head low as we walk the Overcliff-Undercliff track. This walk is mostly moderate-easy however there is a difficult section of about 15 minutes returning up the steep stairs from the bottom of the large waterfall. It is optional to skip this and wait for the groups return (chat with your guide). Be sure to check our photos here or on Insta too coastwarriors Lunch: All that sightseeing, bush walking and waterfalls makes people hungry, so after we walk back up the Stairs Of Doom back to have our picnic lunch overlooking Jamison Valley. We do also cater for veggos, vegans, celiacs etc. You are welcome to bring your own drinks of any kind to have with your lunch. Please be eco friendly and bring a water bottle that you may refill throughout the day. Generally lunch is a cafe made sandwich or chicken wrap. We grab dietary requests in the morning. Noel (bus name) powers further up the mountains to Ktown (Katoomba) home of the famous Three Sisters rock formations at Echo Point - the iconic image of the Blue Mountains. We view the three ladies up close where your guide will inform you of their aboriginal significance. Walk round and take in the amazing locaion and views. There is a small cafe with coffee/tea/smoothie/ice cream/snacks here. Also a local jewellery shop, souvenir shop and toilets. We spend about 30 mins at this location. This is a very busy and touristic location. At a nearby reserve we often get the chance to get up close to wild white cockatoos that move around the upper Blue Mountains area. These Sulphur-crested cockatoos love a good insta photo and will come up close to you and often land on your arm….so many photos. If birds are not your thing feel free to walk over to the nearby waterfall instead (3 min walk). Depending on the time and a check of return traffic we try to add in another lookout, often Cahill lookout over Megalong Valley. This is only on efficient days/groups which can include parking issues, traffic issues, closed tracks, people not listening to the guide re return times etc. Returning Sydney: Tour concludes at 812 George Street Haymarket about 5.30pm depending on traffic. Upon return in Sydney, we often scatter for a warm shower in our accommodation. However we do recommend attending one of the nearby pubs together for a drink or a typical pub classic dinner. Great Southern Hotel is a 60 second walk. The drop off point is only minutes walk from central train/bus station, Chinatown and the beautiful Darling Harbour. The nearby Haymarket Lightrail stop will take you back down the centre of the city through Town Hall, Wynyard to circular key (Opera house & Harbour bridge). Tap on & off with your credit card or Apple/Google pay. This operates about every 5 mins.

Bookings Terms & Conditions

These booking terms and conditions apply to bookings you make with Peterpans Adventure Travel PTY LTD (ACN 673 404 389) trading as Peterpans Travel (whether over the phone or by email) as well as online bookings you make on our website. We will rely on the authority of the person making the booking to act on behalf of any other traveller on the booking and that person will bind all such travellers to these terms and conditions.

The ticket(s) (“voucher(s)”) for your travel or experience are booked by us on your behalf with various Service Providers. Each Service Provider may have their own terms and conditions applying to your travel. It is important that you read the relevant and corresponding brochure for each of your bookings in order to understand all applicable terms and conditions. If you require additional information to that contained in the brochure then we recommend that you contact the Service Provider for further clarification.

BOOKING CONFIRMATIONS

Your responsibilities: Open tickets: You must book your travel dates in advance with the individual Service Provider as per the details provided on your voucher.

Tickets with booked dates: It is your responsibility to ensure you redeem your vouchers on the dates booked. If you wish to change these dates you must organise it with the Service Provider directly, with adequate notice. You must reconfirm all booked dates 48 hours prior to travel (minimum guide only) or in the manner stated on your voucher. If applicable, dietary requirements should also be confirmed at this time.

CANCELLATIONS and REFUNDS

Credit card fees, and additional fees paid to us for deposits of accommodation, transport and luggage storage are not transferable or refundable.
Please note that deposits on bookings are also non-refundable but may be used as credit towards future bookings.

Cancellations by service providers

If a service provider cancels your booking for any reason you WILL NOT be charged any cancellation fee and will be entitled to a full refund (other than any amount we are charged on your behalf by the service provider). ALL TRANSPORT AND ACCOMMODATION is NON-REFUNDABLE, in some cases it may be transferable.

Cancellations by you outside of 14 days from the date of travel

Where you provide us with at least 14 days’ notice that you wish to cancel your booking for any reason, you will be charged a 10% cancellation fee and will be entitled to a refund (in addition to any amount we are charged on your behalf by the service provider) or can transfer, with no fee, any balance (in addition to any amount we are charged as a cancellation fee on your behalf by the service provider) to a new booking or credit voucher. ALL TRANSPORT AND ACCOMMODATION is NON-REFUNDABLE, in some cases it may be transferable.

Cancellations by you within 14 days of the date of travel

Where you provide us with less than 14 days notice that you wish to cancel your booking for any reason, you will be charged a 30% cancellation fee and will be entitled to a refund ( in addition to any amount we are charged on your behalf by the service provider) or can transfer, with a $30 per product transfer fee, any balance (in addition to any amount we are charged as a cancellation fee on your behalf by the service provider) to a new booking or credit voucher. ALL TRANSPORT AND ACCOMMODATION is NON REFUNDABLE, in some cases they may be transferable.

In addition, if a Service Provider charges us for the cancelled travel you must also pay us the amount that we are charged on your behalf by the Service Provider. It is, therefore, possible your cancellation fees could be up to 100% of the cost of the booking, regardless of whether travel has commenced (for example cancellations made within 24hrs of travel or certain flight bookings). The Cancellation Fee will apply in all cases where a tour is able to run. For example, if you are unable to reach a tour due to an “act of God” (for example a road is cut off due to flooding) the normal Cancellation Fee will apply if the tour still runs in your absence or would have run but for your absence. If a tour or other travel service is cancelled by the Service Provider, we will refund you in full the amount paid for the tour or other travel service. This full refund is subject to a fully refundable amount being given to our agency from the supplier who is cancelling. We highlight here that all suppliers have different cancellation terms.

All refunds will occur in the local currency and will be refunded to the same card that payment was made with. If your credit card uses a different currency, the amount refunded may be different from the original amount paid due to exchange rate fluctuations. We are not liable for these fluctuations, or any fees your bank charges.

Please note that in the case of natural disasters (e.g. flood, fire, cyclone, etc.), many Service Providers do not offer refunds, and we may therefore be unable to provide a refund to you. We strongly recommend that you take out comprehensive travel insurance to cover this situation.

The 10% or 30% agency cancellation fee does not apply to: Dive Courses where you fail a Dive Medical test; or Skydives cancelled by the Service Provider within 3 days of booking due to weather, in which case a full refund will apply.

Where a refund or other payment applies, you may choose to transfer the full cost of your booking to another tour. However, a transfer fee of $30 may apply. While we aim to process refunds swiftly, high-demand situations (such as natural disasters) may result in delays.

We strongly recommend purchasing a travel insurance policy at the time of booking to protect yourself against unexpected cancellations and changes. Depending on your policy, your insurance provider may cover up to 100% of cancellation fees and other costs incurred. Cancellation fees for tours and bus bookings can be up to 100%, so having appropriate coverage can help minimise financial risk.

Please act responsibly and with respect on your travels. All Service Providers reserve the right to cancel bookings based on recommendation from another provider due to misconduct/misbehaviour during another stage of their trip. We will treat this as any normal cancellation and charge the above-mentioned Cancellation Fee, plus any Service Provider fees.

TRAVEL INSURANCE

We endorse the recommendation of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade that all travellers take out travel insurance. It is your personal responsibility to purchase your own travel insurance to cover any liability which may be incurred to us or a Service Provider and other travel misadventures that you wish to be insured against. We recommend that you source travel insurance with a low excess payment, to make claiming on cancelled tours worthwhile.
