Overview

This boat tour includes a round-trip ferry ride across Sydney Harbour to Taronga Zoo, lasting between four and eight hours depending on your time at the zoo. You will start by boarding the ferry at Circular Quay Wharf No.6, where the vessel sails past key Sydney landmarks such as the Opera House and Harbour Bridge, giving you clear views of the city skyline and harbor. Once you arrive at Taronga Zoo, you have about five hours to explore the grounds and see over 2,900 animals from both Australia and abroad. The zoo offers several free keeper talks, a Seal Theatre show, and a free-flight bird demonstration where birds of prey display their skills. Highlights at the zoo include the Asian Rainforest with its orangutans and the AGL Amazon exhibit featuring South American wildlife. Food and drinks are not included, and there is no hotel pickup or drop off. It is recommended to take the earliest ferry to maximize your visit time at the zoo. The zoo is open daily from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm, and ferry schedules may vary on public holidays or special events.
