Australia · WILDLIFE TOURS IN SYDNEY
The good wildlife tours in Sydney go weeks out and the best go sooner. Below: the 14 to lock in early, what each includes and where they differ.
Blue Mountains small group tour with early Scenic World rides, Three Sisters, lunch, zoo or Featherdale, then a Parramatta River ferry back.
“Lovely day. Early start but it did mean we were in the Blue Mountains before the crowds so worth it. Our guide Tom, was friendly, informative and flexible. Lunch was good.”
Early Sydney pickup for Scenic World, the Three Sisters, and a wildlife park, with lunch and entry fees included.
“Loved our guide, Sean. Moved us through activities with enough time to enjoy but still get to everything. Very informative.”
Small group Blue Mountains day trip with Sydney Zoo koala photo and unlimited Scenic World rides, 11 hours from Sydney.
“The way the itinerary was done was great considering the huge number of people in the city and in the sites. Our guide Alfie was very knowledgeable and provided insights of all the different spots We had a great time and the photo with the koalas was very cute. Even when we didn’t have much time at the town of Leura the rest of the trip was very much enjoyed.”
Small-group Blue Mountains day tour from Sydney with Featherdale wildlife, guided bushwalks to Wentworth Falls, Three Sisters and village time.
““Jimmy” I mean Jason was wonderful. We had a bit of rain but Jason was great. We tweaked the itinerary a bit to head to a dry area and wait for the rain to stop while looking at other things. We were able to see the mountains, three sisters, waterfalls.. and so much more!! Don’t hesitate and book this tour ASAP!! You will not be disappointed! Thanks again for a great tour!”
A small-group luxury trip from Sydney that mixes up-close native wildlife and boutique Hunter Valley wine tasting, plus cheese stops.
“Nice tour, the wildlife park is really nice and obvious animals well looked after, I personally would prefer lunch at a winery rather than a resort, the first winery I didn’t rate - Allandale, just wasn’t great at all. Second winery was beautiful and really good - Bon Villa, and would be nice to have a bit livelier music on way home. With a change of lunch venue and changing out first winery would be 5 star. Sam was a really good guide and knowledgable.”
A small-group day trip from Sydney with koalas, an easy waterfall walk, beach lunch, and boutique wine tasting. Long but worth it.
“Lovely beaches, impressive waterfalls, up close experience with roos and koalas. Driver (the other Steve) was entertaining and made sure every guest was getting the max from this excursion. I'd go again!”
All-inclusive Blue Mountains tour with Three Sisters, Scenic World rides, Featherdale koalas, and a return to Sydney by 4:30.
“The trip to the Blue Mountains was fantastic. Jason was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and funny. The scenery was spectacular! The lunch was also amazing, I had the veggie stack, definitely recommend it. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole day. I would 100% recommend booking this trip.”
Small-group Blue Mountains day trip: Featherdale wildlife, Three Sisters views, Katoomba breaks, and guided waterfall walks, carbon neutral.
“Ronnie was an amazing guy. He entertained us from start to end ! Also such nice stories during our hiking in the Blue mountains. Another highlight was Featherdale. Arriving there early morning was perfect to see and feed the kangaroos. They were lovely. Totally recommend the tour and the guide. 🙌”
150-minute Sydney Harbour whale cruise with all-weather comfort, expert narration, and a 95% whale sighting guarantee.
“We saw the whales, and I know that is what the trip was about, but I think the tour guide could talk about other wildlife in the ocean. For example, the many sea birds that I saw, albatross, not something most people will ever see.”
Late-start Blue Mountains small-group day from Sydney: two bushwalks, Three Sisters views, koalas at a farm, plus lunch and dinner.
“There is no wasted time on this tour! We were picked up right on time and everything, from the quality of transportation to the included lunch and dinner, were first rate. Terry took orders and phoned orders in ahead so we didn’t waste hours sitting around in restaurants. Instead, our time was productively spent in the Blue Mountains. The late start was absolutely perfect as we managed to visit popular sites, like The Three Sisters and Wentworth Falls, with very few other tourists around, even though we visited in high season (mid Jan). I highly recommend Terry and Picture Me Sydney when visiting Sydney.”
Blue Mountains day trip from Sydney with Featherdale wildlife, Scenic World unlimited rides, lunch, and carbon neutral transport.
“Amazing couldn’t of asked for a better guide, Ronnie was brilliant he made the day for us, went above and beyond, thank you so much for a brilliant day. Great value for money.”
Private 8-hour Blue Mountains day with Featherdale wildlife, Scenic World rides, Three Sisters views, and quick stops at Katoomba Falls and Leura.
“Unfortunately, the experience did not work as well as expected. The agreed times were not adhered to, and unfortunately some things were forgotten. I was not personally present, but the feedback from the participants was consistent. Water was also not offered. There was no communication during the service, which would normally be expected. from a motivated Uber driver, you have it for free for sure. When comparing price and performance, the existing reviews are unfortunately difficult to understand. The participating guests were disappointed, and I wanted to share this feedback with you.”
A private, hotel pickup Featherdale Wildlife Park visit in Sydney with up-close kangaroos, koalas, keeper talks, and easy timing.
“The park was very nice..the guide was extremely helpful in explaining about different birds, animals and was even able to take pictures with koalas. I would highly recommend...”
