Yes. Chapman Tours knows how important it is to get a magical photo with a Koala and see the beauty of the Kangaroo. A professional Koala photo is at your expense however you are more than welcome to take as many photos with your own camera. There are no professional photos available with Kangaroos however you can take as many as you want with your own camera.
- Tipping is a personal choice but we say this; if you’ve loved the experience and your tour guide show them by giving them a tip. Thanks in advance!
This is a common question. During the cooler months between May to August we have cool to cold mornings in the Mountains. From September the weather is warming and often we have warm days from September – April. Our summer months are December, January and February. We say it’s always advisable to either bring a jumper/jacket in the cooler months. The warmer months shorts and casual clothing is probably the best advice. Always wear comfortable shoes. Always check the weather online the day before. Search Katoomba and Penrith weather not Sydney.
Unfortunately our our large coaches are not wheelchair compatible however we partner with a very reputable business that specialises in wheelchair transfers. We don’t want anyone missing out on the chance to see the Blue Mountains so if you are fully reliant on a wheelchair email us at bookings@chapmantours.com.au or you can message us on WhatsApp 24/7 on +61 414 011252. Our private Wheelchair tours are available subject to availability.
On our large coach tour YES you can bring your collapsible wheelchairs and prams. Be advised that you CANNOT bring either of these onto the Scenic Railway at Scenic World under the NSW transport act.
Unfortunately Transport for NSW rules clearly state that no food or drinks are permitted on public passenger vehicles. This is health and safety issue. Imagine if there was an accident and everyone had a hot coffee so this rule is commonsense. No guests will be permitted to enter the bus whilst having takeaway drinks. Water only is permitted.
You will arrive in the upper Blue Mountains at 8:45am. Your day will include time at Echo Point and Scenic World. Your departure will be from Scenic World at 1pm. You will arrive at the wildlife park at 2:30pm. Departure from the wildlife park will be 4pm. Arrival back in Sydney at 4:30pm. (Above times are subject to change due to the traffic conditions)
