The menu was varied and delicious. We were genuinely surprised by the quality and quantity of food at all parts of the track. Our guides were excellent - Dan was absolutely outstanding. Overall tour was beyond expectations. We felt cared for above and beyond the call of duty. We have recommended you to people already and we are looking forward to another trip with you. Michael says you werë "basically perfect" and we all tend to agree.

Six Foot Track Guided 3 day walk

Six Foot Track 3 day guided walk from the Blue Mountains to Jenolan Caves. Winding through State forests and national parks, the 6 Foot track follows the 44 kilometre route of the original 1884 Bridal track between Katoomba and Jenolan Caves.

Crossing mountain ranges and falling into deep valleys, the Six Foot Track features sheer sandstone cliffs, waterfalls and panoramas of richly-forested valleys. We'll spend your nights camping under the stars where we'll enjoy fine wine or beer and a delicious gourmet dinner. Time is allowed at the end of the walk to explore the magnificent Jenolan Caves.

This is Glamping at it's best!
Our Six Foot Track packages include snack packs, breakfasts, 2 lunches and delicious gourmet dinners such as fresh snapper, Thai Chicken curries , french crepes - plus much more, as well as refreshments and alcohol (beer and wine). All group camping and cooking equipment is transported daily by our support vehicle. You'll spend your nights camping under the stars with your tent erected for your arrival for those that choose the deluxue or super deluxe packages.

Three levels of packages to choose from
We have three Six Foot Track packages to choose from. For those training and wanting to get fit, you can pay less and carry your own tent and personal items. Or for those that want to be pampered, we'll carry your overnight bags and set up your tent with your choice of a dome tent with deluxe mattress or luxury stand up touring tent with off the ground beds.
