Top Sydney Nature Parks

Located on the shoreline of Sydney Harbour, Sydney Taronga Zoo is home to thousands of fascinating animals, including Australian natives such as the koala, kangaroo, and platypus. Check the schedule for daily keeper presentations, or book an animal encounter or guided tour (own expense) for a more in-depth experience.

Sydney's busy roads can make sightseeing tricky. Skip city traffic and combine a ferry ride with admission to Taronga Zoo. Depart from Circular Quay and sail across Sydney Harbour, taking in panoramic views of the skyline along the way. At the zoo, spot koalas and kangaroos, along with wildlife from around the world. Your package includes round-trip ferry transfers, so getting back to the city center couldn't be easier.

With around 6,000 animals, WILD LIFE Sydney hosts a large variety of Australian animals under one roof, offering an authentic Australian wildlife experience in the heart of Sydney's Darling Harbour. Make your way through nine different habitats, and see iconic wildlife including kangaroos, koalas, butterflies, birds, crocodiles, and much more.

See a different side of Sydney on a private day tour built around coastal scenery, local atmosphere, and the natural beauty of the Royal National Park. This experience is ideal for travellers who want to get beyond the central city and enjoy a more relaxed and personal private day. Travel in a premium air-conditioned vehicle and explore parts of Sydney’s southern coastline with a route that can be shaped around timing, weather, and your group’s preferences. Depending on the selected option and tour pace, the day may include scenic coastal stops, local viewpoints, and time to enjoy one of the world’s oldest national parks. Because this is a private experience, there is more room to slow down, enjoy the scenery, and shape the day around your group rather than following a large coach schedule. This is a great choice for couples, mature travellers, families, and visitors wanting a scenic private tour beyond the usual Sydney highlights.
