Sydney - Koalas, Kangaroos, Boomerangs & Aussie BBQ Day Trip

If you're visiting Sydney, book this experience. You'll meet a koala up close. You'll pet kangaroos. All-you-can-eat lunch is prepared and cooked in front of you. There's wine, cheese, condiments. Different kinds of meat. Fresh burgers. The lunch alone was worth it! The experience also donates $3 every single day to charity (Aussie Ark), to help breed endangered animals. You'll see and learn about so many native animals to Australia. Really authentic. Aside from that, the meeting point was easy to find. The group was small. The coffee and conversation before departure was so nice. Really relaxing and educational, the opposite of big bus tours. A good opportunity to meet other travellers and meet new friends. The combination of baby animals, Australian wildlife, boomerang throwing and a traditional BBQ lunch made for an unforgettable day. We came away with amazing photos and a much deeper appreciation for Australia and its wildlife. Would happily do it again. 5 stars from me!

OMG! absolutely worth every dollar! We booked this experience to celebrate my father's birthday and it ended up being one of the best days we've had in Sydney. Getting up close to a koala was incredible 🐨. I got my photo with one, learned so much about them throughout the day, and then got to meet and hand-feed kangaroos too 🦘. There were so many amazing Australian animals to see, including a Tasmanian Devil, Cassowary, Komodo Dragon, Dingoes, Wallabies, Flying Foxes, Turtles, Frogs and even a massive 500kg Saltwater Crocodile 🐊. We also met the cutest sleepy wombat named Scarlett! One of the things I loved most was learning about Aussie Ark and the important conservation work they're doing to help save endangered Australian species. The food and wine were unbelievable. The boomerang lesson was also so much fun 🪃 My dad had an amazing birthday and we're still talking about it. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Sydney. Thanks Sean for such a memorable day!

This ended up being one of the highlights of my Sydney trip. The animal encounters were incredible, especially getting so close to kangaroos and seeing a sleeping wombat. Also saw a cassowary, flying fox, saltwater crocodile, snakes, turtles, dingoes, Tasmanian devil! The group was small which made the whole experience feel personal and relaxed. Tristan was full of interesting stories about Australian wildlife and culture, and the BBQ lunch was much better than we expected. Throwing the boomerangs was a lot of fun too. Worth every dollar!

What an amazing day out! I was looking for something uniquely Australian and this absolutely delivered. Feeding kangaroos, meeting koalas and seeing so many native animals up close was unforgettable. The boomerang lesson was surprisingly fun and the BBQ lunch was delicious. Tristan was a fantastic host too. Friendly, knowledgeable and made everyone feel welcome from the moment we stepped on the bus. Highly recommend for visitors wanting a real Aussie experience.

What an incredible day from start to finish. We wanted an experience that would show us more of Australia's wildlife and culture than a typical zoo visit, and this delivered so much more than we expected. The animal encounters were amazing. Being able to see a koala up close was a dream come true, and feeding kangaroos was something we'll never forget. Throughout the day we saw an incredible variety of Australian animals, including wombats, wallabies, dingoes, rainbow lorikeets, magpies, cockatoos. Every minute felt like there was something new and exciting to discover. One of the most memorable parts of the experience was learning about the Aussie Ark conservation programs helping to protect endangered Australian species. It was inspiring to hear the stories behind the animals and understand the important work being done to ensure their survival for future generations.

Wonderful experience! Had a blast at the reptile park hanging out with all the animals.
