Crocs & Wildlife With Airport Transfer

OVERVIEW

Observe exotic and indigenous wildlife at the Australia Zoo, which beloved adventurer Steve Irwin founded on the Sunshine Coast north of Brisbane. The Irwin family still operates the sprawling zoo, which is dedicated to animal research and conservation. As you wander about during free time, you might watch a saltwater crocodile demonstration, cuddle a koala, hand-feed a giraffe and see unusual creatures such as wombats and echidnas. The zoo is divided into sections for easy viewing of the animals that are most interesting to you. If you want to see cheetahs, meerkats and rhinos, drop by the African savannah. Free-roaming ring-tailed lemurs and giant Aldabra tortoises can be found on Bindi’s Island, which is named for Irwin’s daughter. The Tiger Temple – which resembles the famed temple Angkor Wat – is home to a number of majestic Sumatran tigers. After viewing such an array of animals, you will have plenty to discuss while transferring to the airport.
