Welcome to the adventure to the top of the Blue Mountains! If you're looking for a challenging and unforgettable hike through some of the most beautiful terrain in Australia, then look no further than the Six Foot Track. This 44-kilometer trail winds through the stunning Blue Mountains, taking you from Jenolan Caves to Explorers Tree over the course of three exciting days.
Our fully supported hike includes camping under the stars for two nights and one night in an eco retreat bunkhouse, where you can rest and recharge in the evening. And to keep you fuelled for the trail, we provide hearty breakfasts and delicious dinners each day around the campfire.
