Which Blue Mountains Sunset Tour from Sydney Is Better?
6 min read
For most travellers, choose the Waterfall Bushwalk and Blue Mountains Sunset Day Trip. It costs €112.60, lasts 10 hours 30 minutes and has a 4.7 rating from 695 reviews. Its clear focus is the walk to Wentworth Falls before sunset at the Three Sisters. Choose the Wild Kangaroos & Sunset Day Tour instead if a maximum of 10 guests, kangaroos in their natural habitat, hidden trails, cheese and wine matter more than paying the lowest price.
The two late-start tours compared
| Tour | Duration | From | Rating | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Waterfall Bushwalk and Blue Mountains Sunset Day Trip | 10h 30m | €112.60 | 4.7 · 695 | Wentworth Falls walk and strongest review base |
| Wild Kangaroos & Sunset Day Tour | 10 hours | €125.11 | 4.9 · 188 | Maximum 10 guests, kangaroos, cheese and wine |
Pick the bushwalk for the fuller trail day
The Waterfall Bushwalk trip starts later than a conventional Blue Mountains day tour to miss some of the daytime crowds. Its sequence is specific: a hike to Wentworth Falls, wildlife spotting and sunset over the Three Sisters. That makes the extra half-hour useful rather than merely longer. It also has more than four times as many reviews as the alternative, so the 4.7 score rests on a much broader experience base.
This is not the sensible choice if a bushwalk is the part you hope to avoid. The listing sells the hike as a central feature, not a brief photo stop. Sunset also means returning to Sydney after a long outdoor day; travellers wanting an early dinner in the city should book a daytime itinerary instead.

Pay more for ten guests and a wildlife emphasis
The Wild Kangaroos tour costs €21.64 more and is 30 minutes shorter. The premium buys a different atmosphere: the operator caps the group at 10, seeks kangaroos in their natural habitat and uses hidden trails away from the busiest stops. Cheese and wine at twilight make the sunset itself more of an occasion. Its 4.9 rating is higher, although it comes from 188 reviews rather than 668.
Choose it for a smaller social setting and a wildlife-led day. Do not pay the difference solely because both tours end near sunset; the cheaper trip already supplies that defining view. The premium earns its keep only when the small-group limit, kangaroos and twilight food and drink are priorities.
