Best Three Sisters Tours & Trips

These sibling rock formations tower above the Jamison Valley, their color and hue shifting perceptibly as the sun approaches the horizon. Legend has it the Three Sisters fell in love with three brothers from a neighboring tribe. The two tribes took up arms after the brothers decided to capture them by force, whereupon a tribal elder turned the sisters to stone to protect them. They can be viewed by taking a trail from nearby Echo Point. From there the trail takes you the Giant Stairway, 800 steps down to the valley floor below. For those wishing to stay longer and experience all the Blue Mountains have to offer, nearby Katoomba offers accommodations ranging from hostel to resort & spa.

Australia Explorer Tour

Inside Australia travel really made our travel plans much easier, love the app and especially Jasmine was very helpful with perfect choices of accommodations and recommendations to meet our budget. I really enjoyed our trip the only minus was the rainy weather for the last couple of days of the trip. I hope we can come back at summer or spring soon. Will definitely use your service again and recommend to other travelers. Thank you for the hospitality and great experience.

19-Day New Zealand & Australia Tour: Auckland, Rotorua, Queenstown, Sydney, Uluru and Cairns

This tour was an absolute highlight of my travels.

The itinerary was well-balanced between action-packed days and moments of relaxation. Rotorua’s Maori culture and Cairns’ Great Barrier Reef snorkeling were experiences I’ll never forget.

FAQs about Three Sisters Tours

Which airport is closest to the Three Sisters in the Blue Mountains?

Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport (SYD) is the nearest major international gateway, located about 100 kilometers away. From there, travelers can rent a car for a 90-minute drive or take a train to Katoomba Station. The scenic railway or a local bus from the station connects directly to Echo Point, the primary viewing platform for the rock formation.

When is the best time to visit the Three Sisters to avoid heavy rain?

The Blue Mountains experience rainfall year-round, but late spring (October to November) and early autumn (March to April) typically offer the driest conditions. Winter brings cold nights and occasional frost, while summer storms can cause sudden trail closures. Always check the Bureau of Meteorology forecast before hiking, as mist can obscure views even without heavy precipitation.

Are there specific walking tracks suitable for families near the Three Sisters?

Yes, the Prince Henry Cliff Walk is a paved, accessible path starting at Echo Point that offers safe, stroller-friendly views of the formation. For a slightly more adventurous option, the Giant Stairway descent provides close-up access but involves steep steps unsuitable for young children or those with mobility issues. Stick to marked trails to ensure safety near cliff edges.

Do I need a special pass to park near the Three Sisters in Katoomba?

No special park entry pass is required for day visitors parking at the Echo Point lot, though standard parking fees apply during peak hours. If you plan to hike deeper into the Blue Mountains National Park beyond the immediate lookout areas, you may need to purchase a vehicle entry pass online or at designated kiosks. Cash and card payments are both widely accepted at these locations.
