It was great to be able to explore the Zoo at our own pace. At times we actually split and went into different directions and then met later. Very helpful guides all over. The bird keeper demonstration was amazing.

Our tour guide Steve was absolutely fantastic. His knowledge about the area was impeccable. The weather wasn't on our side at the start of the trip, so he tailored the tour to find the best weather for the best views. Luckily it cleared up as the day went on. Lunch was also lovely. With everything included (coach pickup and transportation, tour, lunch, cable car, train, zoo) it is SO worth the price I paid. Would highly recommend!

Full description

Experience the most fun way to travel to Taronga Zoo and save money with a return ticket on the rocket ferry Circular Quay. Once inside the zoo, take in as many of the exhibits as you like at your own pace. Explore 10 themed areas, including Wild Australia, Wild Asia and the Great Southern Oceans. Hear talks by the zookeepers and go to interactive shows, such as the free bird show and free seal show. See native Australian animals, including koala and platypus, along with creatures from around the world such as Asian elephants, lions and giraffe. Grab some lunch at one of the many cafés, or take your own picnic and find a nice spot in the shade. Once you've had your animal fix for the day, head back to the dock and get some amazing views of Sydney on the cruise back to Circular Quay.
