About this experience

We will start the day at the famous Australia Zoo, home of the Crocodile Hunter. Here you can get close to kangaroos, cuddle a koala and see the amazing crocodile shows at the Crocoseum. With more than 1,200 animals to meet, this is one of the most exciting wildlife experiences in Australia.

In the afternoon you can choose how to spend the rest of your day. Stroll through the peaceful rainforest at Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve and enjoy the views of the Glass House Mountains, or head to Caloundra to take in the fresh sea air and stunning Sunshine Coast beaches.

Because this is a private tour, you can take your time, adjust the stops and make the day your own.
