It travels to the best sights and sites of Sydney’s stunning Blue Mountains, offering (safe!) edge-of-the-cliff thrills, and now the double decker big red Blue Mountains Explorer Bus has added eight more stops AND kids can ride free during these upcoming July school holidays.
Operating every 45 minutes between 9.15am and 5.30pm, Blue Mountains Explorer Bus is the only hop-on/hop-off double decker bus in the world in a national park, and the only one that doesn’t live in a city.
Operated by the family-owned Fantastic Aussie Tours, which was established in 1974 and was the first tour operator in Australia to be 100 per cent carbon neutral certified, the bus now operates on an expanded route – from 29 to 37 stops.
A highlight of the 45-minute Katoomba-Leura trip is the jaw-dropping vista of Cahill’s Lookout, over the Megalong Valley and Narrow Neck peninsula, with plenty of room for little legs to run around.
Hop off the bus at Everglades House & Gardens, where children can work through the activity book; and explore Australia’s most accessible wilderness along one of the 12 bushwalking tracks on the Explorer Bus route.
After walking up an appetite, recharge in a café or restaurant in upmarket Leura Mall or the eclectic shopping strip of Katoomba.
Every bus is cleaned and sanitised regularly throughout each day, hand sanitiser is provided aboard and social distance seating measures are in place.
Blue Mountains Explorer Bus will operate every day of the school holidays until 20 July 2020.
Guests of the Fairmont Resort can use the Explorer Bus shuttle service to Leura Village for just $5.
