About this experience

Embark on an exclusive adventure with your own private tour to see kangaroos in the wild, followed up by breakfast, then a visit to Featherdale Wildlife Park!

We first visit a secret location to see a mob of kangaroos, grazing contentedly in an idyllic setting within the heart of Sydney’s western suburbs. We’ll get there early before the heat of the day sends them off to sit in the shade of a eucalypt tree.

Next, get up close and personal with Australia's unique wildlife at Featherdale, where kangaroos, koalas and more await your visit. Wander the genuine bush setting and get up close and personal with over 2000 of Australia’s unique native animals.

Cap off your day with a serene river cruise, drifting along the Parramatta river while soaking in the beautiful waterside suburbs, culminating in cruising under the Sydney Harbour Bridge and past the Sydney Opera House.

Important note: Kangaroos are wild animals, so there is no guarantee of kangaroo sightings on the day of your tour.

Detailed itinerary

We first visit a secret location to see a mob of kangaroos, grazing contentedly in an idyllic setting within the heart of Sydney’s western suburbs. We’ll get there nice and early before the heat of the day sends them off to sit in the shade of a eucalyptus tree.

Stop 3

Escape into the heart of Australia's natural wonders at Featherdale Wildlife Park. Nestled just outside Sydney, this enchanting sanctuary offers an unforgettable encounter with native wildlife.

Wander through the natural bush landscapes as kangaroos hop freely, koalas doze in eucalyptus trees, and colourful birds fill the air with their melodies. Get up close for a photo with a cuddly koala (koala encounter photo included) and meet friendly free ranging kangaroos for a truly immersive experience. With over 1700 furry and fierce Australian animals on site, you need to find out what will cuddle you, what will feed you and what will kill you!

On the return to Sydney, hop aboard the local ferry and take a trip back down the Parramatta River and skip the traffic!

Your guide sees you onto the public ferry just near the Olympic Park, and you will cruise along the river, pass underneath the Sydney Harbour Bridge and past the Opera House, before disembarking at the vibrant dining area of Circular Quay, just in time for an early lunch and exploration. You will then need to find your own way back to your hotel.
