A great experience. Tour guide Gordon was enthusiastic and professional. He drove and explained the whole way. I am very satisfied and confident with all Klook tours and feel it is worth the money.

It was a fun itinerary that included photo ops with koala and feeding kangaroos at Sydney Zoo, seeing the Three Sisters and all the rides in Scenic World. Our guide Alfie speaks fluent Mandarin, and he took good care of the group while sharing many interesting stories about the places and animals etc with us. Highly recommended!

make sure u check the weather forecast before reserving your tickets. you see practically NOTHING if you go up on a cloudy/foggy day. otherwise, it’s a great experience, wonderful views and not too crowded :)

great place for a rainy day (or a very hot day) because most of the attraction is sheltered, and air-conditioned! the animals were very active and you get to see some of them really up close (through a glass for the dangerous ones, right in your face for the furry ones). lovely!
