Diamond Tours

About Diamond Tours

Diamond Tours runs small-group day trips from Sydney to the Blue Mountains, giving you a chance to explore the region without the crowds. The itinerary includes Scenic World rides, a rainforest walk, and a visit to Sydney Zoo, with the day ending on a ferry ride back to Circular Quay.

When to visit

The cooler months provide comfortable temperatures and clear skies, ideal for outdoor activities and scenic views.

Most popular: May - August

Spring · Sep, Oct, Nov

Spring brings mild weather and fresh greenery across the mountains. Wildflowers begin to bloom and the waterfalls are usually flowing strongly after the cooler season. The Scenic World rides and bushwalks feel even more enjoyable with the comfortable temperatures and clear skies. It’s a beautiful time to take photos of the cliffs and valleys.

Summer · Dec, Jan, Feb

Summer days are warmer and this is the busiest season. The morning departures help avoid the heat and crowds. Tours still include all the highlights, and the rainforest walk feels cooler under the shaded canopy. Expect the mountain air to feel noticeably fresher than in the city.

Autumn · Mar, Apr, May

Autumn is one of the best times to visit. The changing colours of the trees in Leura and Katoomba create a spectacular backdrop. The days are mild and perfect for walking the mountain trails or riding the Scenic World cable cars. It’s a calm, peaceful season to explore without large groups.

Winter · Jun, Jul, Aug

Winter brings crisp mornings and crystal-clear skies that provide the best visibility of the mountains and valleys. Occasional fog adds atmosphere to early walks. It’s the best time of year to avoid the crowds. You’ll want to dress warmly but the fresh air and quiet trails make the experience even better.
