Overview

People travel from all over the world to visit the World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains and view the iconic Three Sisters, but this experience is for those with a true sense of adventure, who want to get off the beaten path and into the wilderness.

With a like-minded group of explorers, you’ll travel by scenic train from Sydney's CBD to tackle a full-day trek through the Blue Mountains. You’ll explore lush forests and stunning vistas before climbing 300m/1000ft (over 800 steps in total!) to emerge beneath the Three Sisters themselves. You'll walk across a bridge to get up close to the Three Sisters, before returning along the cliff tops.

This hike isn't for the faint-hearted. As well as the 800 steps, you'll be walking over 14 km (9 miles) in around 5-7 hours. A high level of fitness is required.

But...if you're looking for a true, challenging taste of Australian bushland with local guides, topped with photo opportunities at the iconic Three Sisters - this is the hike for you.

All fees that were paid to take the hike to the Emu Trekkers are donated towards children's needs such as UNICEF or Idigenous kids needs. Even the guide donated their time for leaving us.. Spectacular hike for a good cause.

I highly recommend Emu Trekkers! While traveling Australia, I had been looking for hiking tours that were more than just bus stops and scenic lookouts, so I was so happy to discover this guiding group! You actually hike and get to see the Blue Mountains with guides who know the area well. The guides, Keyvan and Peter, were so friendly, and fun, and catered the day to everyone's hiking capabilities. Also, the not-for-profit's mission is amazing, so happy to support their cause and have the proceeds go towards Australia UNICEF! Thank you Emu Trekkers!

I chosed the "Emu Trekkers" for my trip to the Blue Mountains. The two guides were friendly and open-minded. We had a nice day with a great hike. If you decide going on a guided tour make your choice for the "Emu Trekkers"!

Fantastic cause, led by incredible guides. Had a great day hiking with Melissa and Joanne, couldn't recommend the trip and the guides high enough.

My husband, twin 14 y/o daughters and I had a great time on our Three Sisters hike. It was an enjoyable train ride. Nice to see some of the area that way. Cute town that we came into. Was a very interesting hike through lush forest with beautiful views of the mountains. Was stunning when we came out at the first viewing and we were high up on the plateau. The stairs to the base of the sisters made the view even more rewarding. Only downside was all of the people at the top visitor center who had bussed in. But the hike back was peaceful and the train at the end relaxing. Our guides Marc and Olivia were great. Thanks for a memorable day in the beautiful mountains!
