Overview

Taronga Zoo in Sydney overlooks the harbor and offers a variety of Australian wildlife. This two-hour small-group walking tour allows participants to meet Australian animals up close, guided by a professional zoo keeper. The group is limited to six people for an intimate experience. The tour starts at the zoo’s top entrance after taking the Sky Safari gondola over the zoo grounds, providing views of the Asian rainforest and the South American animal areas. During the tour, guests go behind the scenes to restricted areas and the animal kitchen to see food preparation. Visitors enter the Australian bushland and visit the underground space of the endangered Southern hairy-nosed wombat. The tour also includes a visit to the platypus exhibit and the nocturnal house, where shy night-active animals can be observed. At the end of the tour, a light snack is served at Harbourview Cafe and a souvenir gift is given. The tour price includes a full-day admission to Taronga Zoo, allowing guests to explore the zoo’s other exhibits and attend keeper talks before or after the tour. Transportation to the zoo, hotel pickup, and food and drinks are not included. The zoo is most easily reached by ferry from Circular Quay, with a shuttle bus also available at the wharf.
