Blue Mountains Hiking

Take a deep breath, put on those sensible hiking boots, grab some water and a handy map - you're ready for a Blue Mountains hiking experience.

Hiking in the Blue Mountains in Australia is for everyone. You don't have to be super keen and fit. It is also for those who are not accustomed to exploring the great outdoors. You will find beautiful trails of varying distances that are gentle on the legs and heart rate.

Many of the Blue Mountains hiking trails are self-guided walks that take anywhere from 30 minutes to a full day.

Enjoy the diversity of flora and fauna that greet you along your journey. These include wildflowers, blue gum and eucalypt forests, the famous Waratah birds and wild kangaroos. Take a rest at one of the majestic waterfalls, explore the caves and marvel at the views

Blue Mountains maps highlight popular hiking trails and are available at Blue Mountains Visitor Centres.

If you're keen to visit both the popular and secluded spots and learn about the area's history, flora, and fauna along the way, sign up for a guided hiking trip with one of the many professional adventure companies who also offer overnight hiking and camping tours for the keen and adventurous bushwalker. So grab those boots and enjoy!
