Top Sydney Helicopter Tours

Tarango zoo is very well laid out with lots to see from the Australian bush (koalas, kangaroos, dingoes, etc), African Savannah (lions, zebra, giraffes, etc), rainforest (pygmy hippo, rhino, monkeys,), Asian (tigers, sun bear), seals, penguins, red pandas, chimpanzees, gorillas and more. We spent ~4h and probably saw 1/3 of entire place. We suggest getting there when they first open at 9:30am. It also has the Sydney skyline as a beautiful backdrop. Definitely recommend.

Although we had already been in Sydney for 3 days, our guide, Nick, took us to places that we had not visited and his knowledge of the history of Sydney and The Rocks was extraordinary. We wound through back alleys to archeological digs, historical buildings, and visited four pubs where we had a beer of our choice at each. Tables were reserved for us, so we did not have to fight the mobs that were there to watch a very important cricket match. Nick was very friendly and approachable, and we enjoyed discussing many topics with him beyond Sydney's history. We highly recommend this tour has it lives up to its name as a historical tour with some beer thrown in

If you can take this tour on a Sunday, TRY TO DO IT! We had Jason (who only works Sundays!!) and he did an absolutely fantastic job leading us through the Blue Mountains. He's extremely passionate and knowledgeable about the areas, the animals, and the culture. With that knowledge he also is able to adjust the tour as needed due to weather or crowd factors to maximize the sights we get to see. He also communicated clearly about physical exertion requirements, bathroom availability, and timing for each stop. This tour also stops by the Featherdale Wildlife Park which was a much more interactive experience than the Sydney Zoo would've been. I'd definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience the nature of the Blue Mountains and get out of urban Sydney for a bit! (I also originally picked this tour because of their clear communication on pickup times/locations, which are crucial if you're traveling without a car. Public transportation can't get you to all the best locations in the Blue Mountains so you'll want a ride. Don't forget to check for that!!)
