Sydney, Australia

7 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

Meet Australia's iconic koalas and kangaroos on a small-group wildlife adventure from Sydney to the Australian Reptile Park!

Enjoy a special koala meeting, friendly kangaroo encounters and discover dingoes, a saltwater crocodile, Tasmanian devil, rainbow lorikeets and more. Your local host captures candid photos throughout the day, so you can enjoy every moment.

Then tuck into an all-you-can-eat Aussie BBQ, cooked by your host, with Australian wine and a cheese platter. And yes, we'll throw shrimp on the barbie! Vegetarian and vegan options are available - no worries, mate.

Finish with a fun boomerang-throwing lesson. With just 10 guests maximum, it's a relaxed, personal day out rather than a crowded coach tour. Great for couples, friends, solo travellers and families with children aged 4+.

We also support Aussie Ark's work, protecting threatened Australian wildlife through a daily conservation donation.

Come for the koalas. Stay for the BBQ, boomerangs and Aussie hospitality!
