The man and woman, aged 50 and 52, set off from Cabbage Tree Creek at Grose Vale at about 9am on Saturday, planning to walk along the Grose River.
The pair were supposed to meet another couple at Patterson's Ridge Fire Trail at 2.30pm but never arrived.
Police were notified about 6.30pm and immediately launched a search with the help of Blue Mountains Rescue, SES and police aviation officers.
The search was called off just after midnight on Saturday and resumed around 10am on Sunday.

"They certainly have enough supplies to take them through to now and they have warm clothing, but they don't have an emergency beacon," said a spokesman from NSW Police Media.
He said police had found no sign of the pair by Sunday 12.30pm.
The pair are thought to be experienced bushwalkers and were in good health when they left.
Police have reminded the public to plan their journeys, take adequate supplies of food, water and first aid equipment, and remain together in the event of an emergency.
Emergency beacons are available free from police and the National Parks and Wildlife Service.
