Question 1

Are you taking bookings now?

Accepted Answer

Mountain Escapes is preparing its first private Blue Mountains trips and taking early enquiries now. We'll respond to suitable enquiries with itinerary options, availability and pricing as upcoming routes are confirmed.

Question 2

Can I enquire about a specific date?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can share your preferred date and trip style. If a suitable upcoming route isn't available for that timing, we'll let you know.

Question 3

How will pricing work?

Accepted Answer

Each trip will be custom-quoted. Indicative private group starting prices: Private Blue Mountains Day Escape from $895; full-day premium private itinerary from $1,290; cruise passenger day trip from $1,490; Two-Day Classic Short Break from $1,695; Food, Brewery & Long-Lunch Overnight from $1,890; Premium Romantic / Wellness Escape from $2,195; Three-Day Slow Escape from $2,890. Final pricing depends on pickup location, dates, group size, route, total hours, third-party bookings and seasonal availability, and is confirmed in writing before any trip is booked.

Question 4

Does submitting the form confirm a booking?

Accepted Answer

No. Submitting the form simply registers your interest. No booking is confirmed until an itinerary, price, terms and payment process are agreed.

Question 5

When will trips be available?

Accepted Answer

Mountain Escapes' first private trips are being prepared and will open as routes, operator requirements, insurance, payment processes and venue research are finalised. Early enquiries help us prioritise upcoming routes.

Question 6

Do you provide accommodation?

Accepted Answer

No. Mountain Escapes does not book or resell accommodation. Guests book accommodation directly with the property, Airbnb, Stayz, Booking.com, Expedia or their preferred platform. We can recommend areas and properties — see the Where to Stay guide — and plan the rest of the itinerary around your booking.

Question 7

Do you book restaurants and activities?

Accepted Answer

Restaurant, brewery, spa and attraction recommendations and booking coordination are part of the service being developed. Third-party costs (meals, drinks, tickets, treatments) are paid by guests unless specifically included in a written quote.

Question 8

What will be included and excluded?

Accepted Answer

Included: private door-to-door transport, itinerary planning, scenic touring and booking support. Excluded unless specifically stated in writing: accommodation, meals, drinks, attraction tickets (e.g. Scenic World), spa treatments and third-party activity costs.

Question 9

Is this a guided tour?

Accepted Answer

Mountain Escapes provides private transport, itinerary planning and hosted local touring. For specialist guided bushwalks or adventure activities we may recommend licensed local operators.

Question 10

Can we visit Scenic World and the Three Sisters?

Accepted Answer

Yes — both are expected to be common inclusions. Scenic World tickets are not included unless specifically quoted; the Three Sisters and Echo Point are free public lookouts.

Question 11

How many people can travel?

Accepted Answer

The service is designed for private small groups. Please share your group size when enquiring.

Question 12

Where will you pick up from?

Accepted Answer

Sydney metro hotels and homes, airport-area hotels, the cruise terminal and selected surrounding locations by arrangement.

Question 13

Can we do a brewery or wine-style trip?

Accepted Answer

Yes — brewery, bar and long-lunch itineraries are a core part of the planned service. Private transport means no one in your group needs to drive.

Question 14

Can children travel?

Accepted Answer

Yes, subject to seat and child restraint requirements. Please share children's ages when enquiring.

Question 15

What happens in bad weather?

Accepted Answer

We adjust the itinerary where possible — villages, restaurants, galleries, Scenic World, heritage venues and lower-risk lookout stops can replace exposed walks.
