Mountain views, walks and wineries... a day tour by vintage VW Kombi

Covid LATEST: Blue Mountains tours will resume from 11 OCTOBER 2021.
This is initially for fully vaccinated people only, but from 1 DECEMBER 2021 there are no restrictions.
​Enquiries about future tours are welcome.
The Captain is already fully vaccinated.
This is the Captain's most popular tour. It is held each Saturday and Sunday, from approx 11am to 5pm.

If you're staying in the Blue Mountains at one of the many hotels and B&Bs, the Captain can pick you up from locations anywhere between Springwood and Blackheath. If you're staying further away, we'll arrange a convenient place to meet.

If you're coming from Sydney for a day trip, you will need to travel to the Blue Mountains by about 11am. You can drive yourself if you wish, but many people prefer to catch the cheap, easy and scenic Blue Mountains train, part of Sydney's commuter train network. From Sydney Central the train takes about 1 hour 40 minutes and costs about $8, cheaper on Sundays. The Captain will collect you from a train station or other arranged location.

A modified tour can be arranged on weekdays for group bookings (min. 3 people). Please note that we can't visit the vineyards because they are only open on weekends, but there are many other great places to see!

"Such a fab day trip! Beautiful sites, lovely walks, delicious picnic recommendations and some wine to top it all off! There were 7 of us altogether and it didn’t feel cramped at all. We had a great day and highly recommend a trip in the VW with Michael (who also gave us great top tips for the rest of our stay)! Thank you Michael"

"Best way to see the Blue Mountains. Michael makes it feel like he’s just a good mate showing you around his favourite spots. 100% recommended."

On this tour we visit outstanding places in the World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains—away from the crowded tourist spots— as we wind our way toward the wineries in the picturesque Megalong Valley. The tour includes:
  • places of scenic splendour—the kinds of views for which the Blue Mountains are famous
  • some short, easy walks atop cliffs, through ancient rainforest and beside waterfalls
  • a lunch stop—cafe or picnic options, depending on the weather and your preference
  • a vineyard or two to taste their wares.
