Our guide Kieran was very knowledgable, friendly and helpful. The views from the various lookouts we visited were breathtaking. We loved that the tour stopped at less known lookouts as we didn’t have crowds of people at every stop. The lunch was great, very tasty sandwich! The waterfall walk was steep but you were rewarded with beautiful views and spectacular scenery when you reached the bottom. We loved riding in Rosie, the bus, she had character and was comfortable. We would 100% recommended the tour to anyone looking for a blue mountain trip. Thanks guys!Written 4 January 2024

- aspiring-flaneur0 contributionsGreat guide in Tom, and an easy trip for couplesTom was a fantastic guide and host. He’s deeply knowledgeable about the land and its history, and it’s evident that he cares about making the hike a meaningful time to connect with the landscape. For other hikers, be prepared for lots of steps and wear sturdier shoes than your average kicking around sneakers. And pack an extra tshirt for the drive back to Sydney.Written 22 October 2023

From helping to organise everything we wanted included in the itinerary with so much thought of exactly what I imagined to being the ultimate guide. I organised a trip with 23 girls to Jervis Bay and they all loved it! I’ve already booked in another trip to Jervis Bay and to Port Stephens and that definitely won’t be it! Trent makes sure everyone is having a great time and makes everything seem so seamless and easy. One of the best companies I’ve worked with! 🙌🏻Written 26 March 2023

This was my second time for trip with Trent and I always loved the energy he maintains right from start till end and never gets sick of answering unlimited questions. It’s fun to listen to him. His behavior is inclusive for people with different countries, age and background .
I wish I could join him on more trips frequently, If you ate new to city or even alone to go explore then also just book him confidently

This was our favorite activity during our stay in Sydney! Tom was excellent; he kept the timing of the day feeling relaxed but on schedule, answered all of our questions, and was witty and funny to boot. We learned a lot of Australian lingo, saw some beautiful sites, and enjoyed a hike and swim. This tour ticked all the boxes of what we wanted to do and see in the Blue Mountains and then some. The sandwich lunch was excellent after the hike and we even got to feed some cockatoos! We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to spend a daytrip in the Blue Mountains during their stay in Sydney.

Great day out! Our guide was knowledgeable and fun, and we packed plenty in without it feeling too frantic. Felt very welcome as a solo traveller, and we were encouraged to mix within the group. The hike down to Wentworth falls was spectacular and probably my highlight. Would recommend to anyone looking for a fun, authentic, and active day out in the blue mountains.

We did this tour the first full day we were in Sydney. Trent was a great guide and was a fun guy to be around. I thought the lunch was great as well. I would highly recommend doing this trip if you're in the 18-40 range. When i went i was the one of the older people at 28.

We had a great day out with Tom. He's cool and funny and the music he played on the bus is great, for example, soundtrack from Jurassic Park when he drove into the BM national Park!
We had a good time in Lincoln's Tableland and took some awesome photos with the sweeping blue mountain views. Then it was a long walk down to the Undercliff of Wentworth Falls with steep and high stairs, but the view of the waterfalls is magnificent. We also enjoyed feeding the cockatoos and the view of the 3 sisters.
I've been to the BM with another tour operator 5 years ago with my elderly parents and that was an entirely different experience. Only the touristy things and been there done that sort of feeling. This time we're walking into the bushes and down under the waterfalls and even got chance to have a dip in Jelly Bean Pool at the end of the journey (pity we forgot packing the bathers and that was my mistake as it was indicated clearly on their website), but I did remember bringing snacks and drinks. The fresh roll provided for lunch is very yummy!
I'll highly recommend it to anyone that's fit to do a lot of walking and swimming in 7 hours.

Two friends and myself mid twenties had an absolute blast touring with Trent and our little crew. We were wondering what chilled and unique meant, and in true Aussie fashion our wonderful host showed us it meant casual, fun and engaging. Beginning with the drive to the blue mountains, Trent kept us entertained and provided a comraderie not often found in these types of tours. Would highly recommend as it provided an excellent depth to what's already a stunning and memorable sightseeing opportunity. Knowledgeable and, importantly, extremely local, he showed us off the beaten path sights that he went to as a kid and to finish it off, we coincidentally picked up his sisters' daughter (aged 4 and a half 😂) and felt like a proper local swimming in the community's watering hole.

Tom (the tour guide) absolutely made the day. Without Tom it would have just been another tour at the blue mountains but he made it the best one. He was very knowledgeable, understanding and outgoing and made time for every single person on the tour. He was always making sure everyone was happy and having a good time and made everyone feel at ease the whole day. Can’t say enough about Tom. What a gentleman. I would advise anyone thinking of booking this tour to go ahead and book. (If possible with Tom) the type of guy who just puts a smile on your face. Thanks again!

One of the best day trips I’ve had! Our tour guide provided a lot of trivia and fun facts about Australia as well as getting everyone on the trip talking with each other. As a solo traveller I really appreciated this.
The views from the mountains were stunning and we also got a chance to feed some cockatoos.
If you’re in the Sydney area I highly recommend booking this tour to see the mountains!

This was an absolute amazing time of hiking through the Blue Mountains with a quaint lunch and bite to eat at the nearby park. More hiking to Three Sisters then dinner. We didn't get to see the sunset as described because the dust cloud rolled in. So it was hard to view. We returned to Sydney around 9:30PM. Great commentary by our private guide. He included interesting facts about Sydney, the Blue Mountaians and other towns. The dinner after was at one of the older hotels and was very, very delicious.

My friends and I had a short trip to Aus back in April 2023. We crammed as much as we could into our time frame and the Blue Mountains were not something we wanted to cut.
We booked our tour for the morning after Anzac day... We had set ourselves a 3 beer limit during the Anzac festivities, but we far exceeded that and none of us were thriving when we had to catch the bus the following morning.
However, we soldiered ourselves onto that bus and the mountain air was our cure.
This tour was amazing for so many reasons:
1. The tour guides are wicked fun and friendly.
2. You hit the highlights of the Blue Mountains without the hassle of having to organize things yourself (This was especially valued by our group because our time was so short).
3. Picnic lunch doesn't sound like much, but that sandwich SLAPPED.
4. The group wasn't oversized! That kept things personal and made the stops more enjoyable.
I am notoriously tardy, which is why it has taken me 6 months to do this review, but I could not recommend Coast Warriors enough. If/when I make it back to Australia, I would not hesitate to book another tour with this company.
Cheers!
