Each season ushers in new wonders at Wolgan Valley Resort & Spa and the resort's knowledgeable Field Guides know the best ways to explore the countryside.

Activities in Australia

The resort's Field Guides are able to offer a variety of inspiring suggestions by which to see Wolgan Valley and the surrounding Blue Mountains region. Guests can choose from outdoor activities such as hiking nature trails, exploring the countryside on horseback, touring by four-wheel drive, mountain biking through forests, or stargazing in the dead of night. These are just some of the many adventures awaiting those with a love for Australia's great outdoors.

In springtime, wildflowers bloom in abundance, followed by summer, heralding blue skies and balmy nights. Autumn offers dramatic changes in colour and in winter the resort is cosy and inviting after a day in the bush.

Horse Riding

From a lively trot or canter across the wide grassy plains to a gentle ride through more enclosed areas, you can enjoy the wonders of the great Australian outdoors. The sandstone escarpments of Wolgan Valley dwarf all below, putting the scale of things into perspective and ensuring a scenic ride.

Nature Walks

By taking to the reserve on foot, it's possible to explore the minutiae of the flora and fauna all around in a variety of relaxing ways, including enjoying creative outdoor activities such as recording memories on film or canvas.

Mountain Biking

Guests can ride fast and free, or pass gently through the Australian wilderness by way of pedal-power, as their Field Guide leads an excursion through creek crossings, eucalyptus forests, wetlands and grassy plains.

Wildlife Safaris

With the aid of a Field Guide and a luxury four-wheel drive, a wildlife safari allows guests to explore the more remote areas of the reserve and experience the excitement of off-road driving and the wildlife of the wider region.

Historical Tours

Man's contribution to the history of Wolgan Valley is told through two very different perspectives, firstly by the ancient indigenous people and their culture and most recently, with two centuries of colonial settlers. Intriguing and edifying historical tours offer the opportunity to discover a little of Australia's rich and varied past.
