Overview

The Sydney Taronga Zoo Aussie Backyard Adventure Small-Group Tour includes a one-and-a-half-hour guided walk through the zoo’s Nura Diya, the Australia precinct. A zoo guide leads a small group of up to 10 people, introducing native Australian animals and providing information about their habits and habitats. Participants will see hand-raised wildlife and walk through the Australian animal walk-through area, where wallabies and kangaroos can be observed closely. The tour does not include direct animal encounters or interactions. The tour includes full-day entry to Taronga Zoo, allowing visitors to explore the zoo before and after the guided walk. Upon arrival, guests can take the Sky Safari cable car from Taronga Wharf to the top entrance, traveling over the Asian rainforest and the South American riverscape areas. After the tour, visitors may spend the rest of the day enjoying other zoo activities such as expert talks, the free flying bird show, and the seal show. The zoo is accessible by ferry from Circular Quay, with departures every 30 minutes. A shuttle bus is also available from the ferry terminal to the zoo entrance. Hotel pickup, food, drink, and transportation to the zoo are not included. The tour operates twice daily and can be adjusted for accessibility needs if requested in advance.
