Top Blue Mountains Mountain Bike Tours

The Blue Mountains is a beautiful area to explore but if you want to get up close and embark upon a real adventure, book this guided abseiling and canyon tour. The first half of the day is spent abseiling, beginning with small cliffs and building up to those more challenging ones. After an included lunch walk to the start of the canyon, wade into a creek, and jump into a rock pool. After some exhilarating water jumps and swims, abseil out of the canyon and into the rock pool below.

The natural beauty of the Blue Mountains has earned them UNESCO World Heritage status. Experience them on a self-guided mountain-bike adventure from Blackheath Train Station or Katoomba YHA. After paperwork, an introduction to your wide-handle 29er, and a trail overview, set off into the forest. Follow the ridgeline to Baltzer Lookout and Hanging Rock along flowing trails with a few short climbs: The ride typically takes about half a day.

Mountain biking is one of the best ways to experience the epic and varied landscapes of the Blue Mountains—and e-mountain biking is even better. Just under an hour west of Sydney, Glenbrook is the gateway to the Blue Mountains. You’ll meet your group here before hitting the trails, traversing the mountains on dirt tracks and occasionally stopping to take in incredible panoramic views over ancient forests, deep valleys, and gorges.
