Sydney is one of the most visited cities in the world, and most people who arrive here have the same thing on their list: see a kangaroo. Not a photograph. Not a stuffed toy from the airport gift shop. The real thing.
If you are joining us for our half-day tour, you will be covering iconic spots. If you want to see Australian wildlife up close, our Kangaroo Jump extension lets you add this experience to your day without booking a separate trip.
What Is the Kangaroo Jump Extension?
The Kangaroo Jump is an optional wildlife add-on you can combine with our half-day private tour. It takes you to one of two excellent wildlife venues where you can get close to kangaroos and koalas.
It’s an experience that you can add to your tour. You can visit famous landmarks and meet kangaroos and koalas in Sydney on the same day. This experience is great for families with children and international visitors who want to see kangaroos in Sydney during their day trip.
Where Does the Wildlife Extension Take You?
We work with two wildlife venues. Both offer the chance to see Australia’s native animals up close. Our team takes you to the venue and back, so you don’t need to arrange your own transport.
Option 1: Featherdale Sydney Wildlife Park
Featherdale Sydney Wildlife Park is in Doonside, Western Sydney, about 45 minutes from the Sydney CBD. It is home to more than 2,000 native Australian animals, including over 60 threatened native species. The park focuses on conservation and gives visitors the chance to see animals up close in a well-maintained, accessible setting.
At Featherdale, you can:
- Feed wallabies and walk among them freely
- See wombats up close
- Arrange a koala photo (extra cost, bookable in advance)
- Attend penguin feeding sessions (extra cost, bookable in advance)
- See a wide range of native reptiles, birds and marsupials
Featherdale is a great choice for families and visitors who want to see many different Australian animals in one visit.
Option 2: Sydney Zoo
Sydney Zoo is in Bungarribee, Western Sydney, about 45 minutes from the CBD. It is a modern zoo focused on close-up animal experiences. Located near Featherdale, it is another option depending on your group’s preferences.
At Sydney Zoo, you can:
- Feed kangaroos in a walk-through experience
