Know the 3 Best Blue Mountain Sunset Spots — Blue Mountains Tours
Have you ever asked where to see the sunset in the Blue Mountains Tours?
This guide provides three of the best sunset spots in Katoomba, Their, and Blackheath. These places are easy to get to, no matter how you’re travelling across the mountain.
The Blue Mountains National Park is a World Heritage Wilderness Area situated just inland from Sydney on Australia’s east coast.
The mountains are accessible from central Sydney, about an hour and a half drive or two hours by train.
So close to the city — and home to the breathtaking natural beauty of wild rivers, lush valleys and spectacular escarpments — the Blue Mountains Day Tour is a popular destination for day-trippers from Sydney and vacationers over the world.
The fringe of the national park is filled with towns like Katoomba, Their and Blackheath. These towns are popular bases from which to enjoy the mountains’ hospitality and experience the many hiking trails and stunning views of the National Park. And it’s from the watchtowers of the city that you’re able to see those unforgettable sunsets over the famous Blue Mountains tours from Sydney.
Where are the Blue Mountains: Are they Worth Visiting?
Blue Mountain is situated west of Sydney, approximately 60 kilometres away from the central tourist area of Katoomba and Their, about 90 kilometres away. In my view, yes, they are certainly worth a visit if you have time during your stay. The presence of Sydney and the unique natural beauty and diversity make them a great day trip.
Best Blue Mountain Sunset Spots Worth Visiting
BLACKHEATH: You’re spoiled for competition when it comes to looking out for choices in the sleepy town of Blackheath. Hargraves Lookout is a secret jewel off the beaten track with a sweeping view of both the Megalong Valley and the Kanimbla Valley.
Get your lunch from Pizza Delish; the Station Street Special or Pumpkin Delight choices are worth a try.
LEURA: See the world-famous Three Sisters from a new perspective at their Sublime Point Lookout. Golden cliff faces will surround you and a range of native birdlife as the sun sets over the Jamison Valley.
Picnic tables are available if you’re looking for a sit-down picnic. Please remember that the car park fills quickly on warm evenings, so make sure you get there early to get a prime spot!
Pair the view with a gourmet salad, pastry or quiche from Their Gourmet Cafe & Deli.
KATOOMBA: Cahill’s Lookout is a favourite location for Scenic World Team members to soak up the sun’s last rays of the day.
The lookout is one of the most open locations in the upper mountains and offers a spectacular view of the Narrow Neck and Boar’s Head Rock.
Appreciate the view followed by Nasuage miso eggplant and fresh salmon donated to Sushi n Co, another Scenic World fave band.
If you’re more of a DIY picnic, then Carrington Cellars is worth trying out the gourmet delicacies, as well as serving fine wines and speciality beers from around the world.
