Taronga Zoo (4.5hrs)

Sydney's zoo - Taronga Zoo - is situated on Bradley's Head and enjoys one of the most spectacular views of Sydney Harbour and the city. Learn about wildlife from a real zookeeper who will take you on an exclusive tour and provide close encounters with some of Australia’s most remarkable creatures. You will receive an introduction to Australia's unusual wildlife including excellent photo opportunities with koalas, kangaroos and echidnas. Venture into the wilderness of the Australian bush, enter the underground burrow of the endangered Southern Hairy-nosed Wombat and explore the mysteries of the platypus. Your keeper will explain the special adaptations that enable these animals to live in harmony with the Australian environment. This experience include: a round-trip on the Sky Safari cable car - discover why Taronga is known as "The Zoo with a View", visit a working “animal kitchen“ and see how the food is prepared, venture behind-the-scenes in the Australian Nightlife house and enjoy encounters with nocturnal creatures, hand-feed kangaroos and wallabies, meet hand-raised native animals, morning or afternoon tea and an Aussie animal souvenir. Return to ship.
