Super friendly and nice tour guide Yan, with clear explanation of the tour / activities

Although there are few places, in the urban area, it is suitable for travelers who are in a hurry to see kangaroos and koalas up close. It is mainly an indoor itinerary, so it is suitable for rainy days.

The scenery is beautiful, but it only lasts 1.5 hours, so hurry up to enjoy the scenery and eat. Mainly enjoying the beautiful scenery and the food is okay. The price will be cheaper on weekdays.

I went without much expectation, but I was twice as impressed! The huge aquarium tunnel was impressive, and there were so many different animal friends that it was a very informative time. Penguin boat? I could see the penguins in detail even without riding. It was more fun because I could observe both above and below the water.

Rich itineraries and professional tour guides! In the morning, we will visit the zoo and interact with koalas and kangaroos. In the afternoon, go to Blue Mountain Park to enjoy the scenery

Best deal through Klook! The aquarium itself is very nice, not very big but the Dugong, the Mantas, and the huge sharks make it worth it to see it with your own eyes. The animals are well taken care of. I think it's a very good plan also for going with children, and for when you want to do something but don't have the whole day as for the aquarium maybe 2-3 hours would be enough.

This day's itinerary was fulfilling and comfortable, and we were led by tour guide Alfie. The bus was a bus, but the seats were comfortable. There were 40 people in the group. Although he was Australian, he could speak Chinese and English. Went to Sydney Zoo, fed kangaroos and koalas and took photos. The environment was quiet and peaceful. Then we went to the Three Sisters Peak, and the tour guide was also enthusiastic about taking pictures. The history will also be talked about along the way and local animals will be introduced, which is very interesting!
