I am by no means an adrenaline junkie, but after this experience, i get it. My jaw was sore from smiling too much. While we were riding, to the left of me was the beautiful ocean and blue skies. To the right of me, were dark clouds. The views were absolutely stunning. By the end of the trip, it was thundering, lightning, and raining so hard. This was one of the most amazing activities I've ever done. When it started raining, it hurt so hard to be slapped by the sand (I really thought we weren't gonna make it!), but thankfully we were almost back to where we started. This is a must-try for everyone. Call them up now!

An adventurous ride and if you have a GoPro camera or a waterproof camera, bring it. For starters, the ticket is quite pricey at $75 for an adult and $45 for a child under 16. However, they do offer discounts for larger groups and you can always purchase the iventure card and it will be one of the attractions/activities that you can choose to do. So glad I did. Once you arrive at the Circular Quay, where you'll set off, you will have to leave all your belongings in a trunk they lock up and put on a parka that is honestly quite useless because it soaks up about 90% the water. Shoes also must be taken off. Luckily, I brought along a plastic poncho to wear underneath. Always be prepared:p Before the ride commences, the driver will teach you a few hand signals to indicate "ok" or "spin" so that you can be prepared for a spin. They'll also remind you of a few safety precautions. Just in case. Then you set off circling the entire Port Jackson! The driver will speed up and slow down to catch you off guard and make the ride more entertaining! Make sure to go on a sunny day and bring a waterproof camera if you can! They offer purchase of pictures and a video afterwards, but it'll set you back another $35:(

There are two main private trolley companies in Katoomba that will take guests to various points in…read morethe Blue Mountains area beyond the point where the public transit system ends at Echo Point. This was the only one offering a one-day pass vs. a minimum of 3 days with the other company. The cost at $25 per person ASD seemed a little steep, but we didn't have enough time to walk between all of the points we wanted to see, and so bought tickets. The buses run on time, and the drivers are friendly and give good information about the area. The only downside is that the majority of the stops are at resorts and stores rather than natural points of interest. This is fully disclosed in their brochure and on their website, so it was not a surprise! There are discounts at some local businesses that come with the trolley pass, and you can also combine the trolley with other activities such as the a gondola ride; so it is definitely possible to make this a good deal! In the end, we were pleased with being able to get to Leura Cascades without a long walk - but the $75 price tag for the three of us was a bit high given that was all we were doing beyond public transit. My suggestion would be to allow 2 days to explore the park and use public transit for one day to explore Echo Point and the surrounding area, and then use the trolley the second day to get to a few other points beyond the public transit area, and perhaps take advantage of some of the discounts!

I booked a Return Coach Travel to Jenolan Caves + Admission To Lucas Cave through Trolley Tours and…read moresince I've read so many warnings of booking ahead to avoid the queue (or else you may miss the scheduled tour[s]), I booked it online ahead of time. When I got there, there was a queue, but they were mostly for the Blue Mountains tour so I was lucky to have noticed Darrell (sp?) was inquiring if anyone had booked a Cave tour before he was about to head out the door. Darrell was the bus driver and turns out there were only 5 of us (in a bus capacity of 30+ people) who were going. =) [I am keeping my review focused on Blue Mountains Trolley Tours service, who provided us the transport and tickets. The Jenolan Cave tour itself was led by another entity and so I will withhold that review from here.] Darrell was great. I'm not much of a talker, but the banter he kept going with the 2 couples up front kept the ride to the caves easy-going, laid back and at times, quite funny. He did provide "Informative commentary and scenic stop at Govetts Leap Lookout, Blackheath" as the description read, and he got us to the caves in good time. After he retrieved our tickets for us, he gave us the down-low on how we should approach our day there (since not all of us were going on the same tour) and told us we'd need to be going back approx 3:10pm. With a few backpackers in tow, we were out of there by 3:15pm and, despite having to pull over for a random but mandatory sobriety test on the way, we got back to Katoomba sooner than expected (around 4:20pm).
