Taronga Zoo Aussie Backyard Adventure Tour

This small-group Taronga Zoo experience gives you a closer look at Australian wildlife inside the zoo’s Nura Diya, Australia precinct. You’ll walk with a zoo guide, learn more about native animals, and meet some of the zoo’s hand-raised wildlife. It also includes an all-day zoo pass, so you can keep exploring after the guided part ends. At just over $100, it leans more premium than budget, but the guide-led access and full-day entry add value if you want more than general admission.

The guided tour runs for around 1.5 hours and is capped at 10 people, so it should feel more personal than a standard zoo visit. You’ll head through the Australian precinct with a zoo guide who introduces Australia’s unusual native wildlife and shares extra context as you go. One of the main drawcards is meeting some hand-raised native animals. After the tour, you can stay on and use your included all-day pass to explore the rest of Taronga Zoo at your own pace. The tour runs twice daily. The experience is wheelchair accessible, pram friendly, and the route can be adjusted in advance if you have mobility or accessibility requirements.
