★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 1,539 reviews · 9 hours · from $126

Brisbane round-trip transfer plus Australia Zoo entry. Hit the Wildlife Hospital, watch big live shows, and explore at your own pace.

“We had a great time with our guide Steve, who was super knowledgeable not only about the zoo itself, but also about the things we saw along the way, and had a great sense of humor. His own route through the zoo is also highly recommendable. The zoo itself is great as described, feeding Kangaroos and the Croc Show with Robert Irwin himself were probably the highlights. Upon Steve‘s recommendation we ended up at the Felon‘s Brewery here in Brisbane after our trip, and we loved that as well! Definitely recommend this event!”

Moreton Island day trip from Brisbane or Gold Coast: transparent kayaking, shipwreck snorkeling, sandboarding, 4WD rides, picnic lunch.

“Our trip included the ferry ( which is not included in the price A$80 ), kayaking, snorkling and sand dune sliding and lunch. Snorkling requires a wetsuit and for 'larger' people, they seem to underestimate what size you need. Putting on the wetsuit was a physically demanding exercise. It did keep me warm in the cool water. While snorkeling my face mask continually leaked despite all the best efforts. Since I had to stop to continually clear the mask, I was not able to keep up with the group because of the strong current. My snorkle did not have any protective covering, so the slightest splash caused me to have…”
