About this experience
Embark on an exclusive private wildlife adventure, beginning with the chance to see wild kangaroos, followed by a delicious breakfast, a visit to Featherdale Wildlife Park and a scenic river cruise into Sydney Harbour.
Your morning starts at a secret location in Sydney's western suburbs, where wild kangaroos often graze peacefully in their natural habitat. Arriving early offers the best opportunity to observe and photograph these iconic animals before they retreat into the shade.
After breakfast at a local café, continue to Featherdale Wildlife Park to discover over 2,000 native animals, including koalas, wombats, dingoes and colourful birdlife. Meet the friendly free-ranging wallabies and kangaroos, where you can get up close and even give them a gentle back scratch.
Finish with a relaxing Parramatta River cruise beneath the Sydney Harbour Bridge and past the Sydney Opera House.
Please note: Kangaroos are wild animals, so sightings cannot be guaranteed.

Itinerary and highlights
We first visit a secret location to see a mob of kangaroos, grazing contentedly in an idyllic setting within the heart of Sydney’s western suburbs. We’ll get there nice and early before the heat of the day sends them off to sit in the shade of a eucalyptus tree.
Stop at this tranquil local's cafe to enjoy a hearty breakfast after your encounter with a mob of wild kangaroos!
Escape into the heart of Australia's natural wonders at Featherdale Wildlife Park. Nestled just outside Sydney, this enchanting sanctuary offers an unforgettable encounter with native wildlife.
Wander through the natural bush landscapes as kangaroos hop freely, koalas doze in eucalyptus trees, and colourful birds fill the air with their melodies. Get ready for a selfie with a cuddly koala and meet friendly free ranging kangaroos for a truly immersive experience. With over 1700 furry and fierce Australian animals on site, you need to find out what will cuddle you, what will feed you and what will kill you!
On the return to Sydney, hop aboard the local ferry and take a trip back down the Parramatta River and skip the traffic!
Your guide sees you onto the public ferry just near the Olympic Park, and you will cruise along the river, pass underneath the Sydney Harbour Bridge and past the Opera House, before disembarking at the vibrant dining area of Circular Quay, just in time for an early lunch and exploration. You will then need to find your own way back to your hotel.
