Welcome to our ongoing series of introductory walks in the Blue Mountains. The intention of these walks is to provide an opportunity to perhaps take your first steps into trekking, shake the dust off your existing gear, test out new gear or as a training walk for an upcoming trip with one of the World Expeditions Travel Group companies.

The walks take place on a Saturday, once a month, and on each occasion we’ll explore a different trail/s in the Blue Mountains.

Once you have booked online you will be advised of the meet location and start time. We encourage you to meet at the notified location however we can also offer transport from/to the Blue Mountains Adventure Company office in Katoomba. A briefing and the necessary housekeeping such as completion of waivers will be conducted at the meet location before we begin our journey.

You will be led by qualified, experienced and knowledgeable Blue Mountains Adventure Company guides. Other World Expeditions Travel Group staff will also be in attendance to offer support and advice if required.

Included in the day’s activity is a hearty lunch selected from our seasonal menu. When you book online you’ll be prompted to make your selection.

Come and join us, meet the team – and explore the spectacular Blue Mountains on one of these upcoming walks:

SASSAFRAS GULLY AND THE LOST WORLD (Approx. 16km): The lower Blue Mountains are often overlooked despite many beautiful walks and natural environments to explore. On this walk we’ll be enjoying a lush rainforest gully that rivals those found beneath the escarpments of Katoomba and Leura. We’ll be following established routes involving creek crossings, climbs and descents and single track walking. Our high point for the day is Lost World where we’ll enjoy lunch and a hot cuppa.

LINDEMAN PASS (Approx. 14km): This little known and rarely explored trail links The Valley of the Waters in Wentworth Falls with Federal Pass near Leura Forest. It's a historic pass with an interesting history. At times very challenging due to its infrequent use and limited up-keep, this trail is an experience not worth missing. The walk offers spectacular views of the Jamison Valley and explores the bases of waterfalls that are rarely visited. (NOTE: this walk does include exposure to heights).

JAMISON VALLEY CLIFFTOP WALK (Approx 14km): Breaking slightly from our ‘trails less travelled’ intent, on this occasion we will commence our explorations on the popular clifftop walks near Katoomba. The full-days walk will eventually take us away from the heavily visited trails near the Three Sisters on to the lesser-travelled trails through Leura to Wentworth Falls. The walk will spoil us with abundant views of the Jamison Valley. Whilst we spend most of our time high above the Valley we’ll also pass through a few special lush forested pockets where a cool off in the creeks will welcome us if the day is a hot one. There will also be a few occasions of walking the tree-lined back streets of Leura.

WATERFALLS OF LAWSON (Approx. 14km): We return to the often neglected mid-Mountains for this delightful exploration of the many waterfalls that surround the town once known as simply ‘Blue Mountain’. We will visit Adelina Falls, Federal Falls, Cataract Falls and Junction Falls to the south of Lawson; and Dantes Glen, St Michaels Falls, Fairy Falls and Frederica Falls on the Empires Pass Track to the north. This walk will be a loop with no transfers necessary. The meeting location will be situated close to Lawson Railway Station.
