Although I have seen it countless times in photos and travel books, it is really different to see it in person. The white sailboat shape reflects and shines in the sun. If you look closely, you will find that the roof is actually made up of tiny tiles. It is not pure white, but has a more textured feel.

Very unforgettable day trip, the guide was witty and experienced, taking good care of each group member, in addition to 2 meals, and snacks and drinks bananas provided. Group lunch is pie; dinner and large portions can not eat, taste quite good. The tour guide will take the initiative to take pictures and videos with us; we are happiest when we see wombats.

I was able to see a wider variety of animals than I thought. I think 3 hours would be enough!!

There are all kinds of animals to see in the zoo, including reptiles, amphibians, and marine life. The zoo covers a large area and it took about 4 hours to visit it. However, there was only one koala in the koala area, which was a bit disappointing! We thought we would see several koalas.

This was my first trip to Australia, so I didn't know what to do, so I signed up for a tour. I think the day I did the tour was the most memorable and special memory, more than the city food tour or shopping that I did for a few days. In particular, the guide was so kind and explained things well, so I think it was a rewarding time where I was able to learn a lot of knowledge as well as the history of Australia that I didn't know. I think this is why I signed up for the tour, even though I could have come by car. It was the best trip, so much so that I regret that it only has five stars. I'm grateful for the good time, and I'd like to recommend it to anyone who is thinking about it to sign up immediately.

It is convenient to buy tickets using Klook. There is not much variety of food but the taste is good. The meat and oysters🦪 are of good quality. The waiter is friendly and the scenery is beautiful.
