The Experience

What your day looks like

Take an exclusive adventure with your own private tour guide and vehicle to see kangaroos in the wild, followed up by breakfast, a visit to Featherdale Wildlife Park and a cruise down the Parramatta River! First stop, you will visit a secret location to see a mob of kangaroos, grazing contentedly in an idyllic setting within the heart of Sydney’s western suburbs. You’ll get there early, before the heat of the day sends them off to sit in the shade of a eucalyptus 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 in the wild on the day of your tour. We need to get there before 0800 or it may be too hot for them to appear. We can guarantee them at the wildlife park! 0700 Depart City 1150 Ferry Departs Olympic Park 1245 Disembark at Circular Quay
