Overview

On the Aussie Backyard Adventure tour you will explore Taronga Zoo Sydney's Nura Diya, Australia precinct and see Australian animals from a different perspective. On this small-group tour you will be led by a zoo guide who will take you on a walk through the zoo for an introduction to Australia’s unique and unusual wildlife. Meet some of the zoo’s hand-raised native animals. This is a not to be missed experience for animal lovers. 

Visit: Taronga Zoo, Bradleys Head Road, Mosman, New South Wales 2088 Australia

Taronga Zoo is one of Sydney’s top attractions and is loved by locals and tourists alike. Located on the magnificent harbor, just 12 minutes by ferry with views of iconic landmarks this is truly a zoo with a view!

Arrive at the zoo and take the Sky Safari cable car to the top entrance. Fly above the Zoo as it skims the canopy of the Asian rainforest inhabited by Taronga's orangutans and glide across the mysterious riverscape of AGL Amazonia, home to the Zoo's South American animals.

Feel like a VIP as you tour the zoo and learn first-hand about the animals and how a zoo operates. Meet the hand-raised animals and wander the Australian animal walk-through to come face to face with wallabies and kangaroos. Don’t forget your camera as there are great photo opportunities with koalas, kangaroos and other Australian native animals.

After your tour, spend the rest of the day checking out the great activities on offer at the zoo. There are expert talks through out the day, the not to be missed free flying bird show and the ever popular seal show.

How to get to Taronga Zoo:

The easiest way to get to the zoo is by ferry. Not only is it convenient but a great way to see the spectacular Sydney Harbour. Ferries depart from Wharf 4 at Circular Quay every 30 minutes.

Once you have arrived at Taronga Wharf, take the Sky Safari cable car for a ride high over the zoo grounds. over looking Sydney's most famous landmarks and giving you a bird's-eye view over the zoo inhabitants, ending at the top entrance of the zoo. Alternatively, take the zoo's bus shuttle that meets every ferry.

Melinda the tour guide was very informative. The zoo was amazing. When visiting the zoo, a tour guide is the way to go.

Our guides, Geoffrey and Esther were excellent. Very knowledgeable and fun. We had the privilege of seeing several animals who were active during our visit, eating and moving about (considering koalas sleep 20 hour a day and the platypus are usually hard to see in the nocturnal exhibit). They had several suggestions of what ro see and do and it was a great day. Definitely worthwhile.

Our private tour when the Zoo opened was a perfect introduction to the many exhibits and allowed us to see many animals while they were still active in the morning without the crowds. The guides were wonderful. The Zoo itself is a treasure. The views of Sydney, especially from the Wild Bird Show theater (a great program btw), are spectacular. Tip: The zoo is on three levels, but there are helpful lifts and escalators available as you go up and down. Overall, a must see experience at one of the world’s best zoos.

Excellent tour—there were 9 of us and we had 2 tour guides. Very informative-nice pace—and a beautiful zoo. Definitely recommend. And just FYI—there are no live animal interactions on this tour.

The tour guides were knowledgable and I found the tour educational. I appreciated that they adjusted to tour to take into account the heat/humidity into account when leading the tour. I have a feeling that we would have covered more ground if it was a bit cooler but I think that some of the other guests would have had difficulties keeping up. The only downside (not related to the tour) was that there were not enough shuttles taking patrons from the ferry dock up to the main entrance and the wait was over 30 minutes for the next set of buses. They should have had more running that day as it was quite hot.
