Meet the native animals, learn to throw a boomerang and enjoy an authentic Australian BBQ. Yes it includes shrimp ;)
We will literally "throw shrimp on the barbie". Vegetarian + vegan options available - no worries mate! Perfect for families, friends, solo travellers.
We're driving to The 'Australian Reptile Park.' Where you'll meet Koalas, Kangaroos and more! Included is an ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT BBQ lunch, with accompanying Australian wine (and cheese platter).
With a little boomerang lesson at the end!
If you're a private group of 4 or more - please email straight through! We can look at private group discounts ;)
P.S. Australia lost 30% of it’s koalas in bushfires. Koalas could be functionally extinct by the year 2050. This Experience donates $2 per day, every day, ALL YEAR to Aussie Ark. Look them up online. Your booking will help breed koalas.

Best Day in Sydney!

5.00I've been on many different tours with Tripadvisor, Viator, Airbnb, etc. but this has by far been the best one I've gone on. Sean is truly one of a kind. It is immediately clear upon meeting him that he is passionate about what he is talking about and wants to ensure each and every person gets the most out of their day. He was full of useful and interesting information and more importantly, he is an amazing cook. I can't remember this tour enough! When I come back to Australia, I will definitely be attending any and every tour he offers!

5.00Sean: * sent personalized messages & updates before meeting, * shared useful/detailed information about the Park and animals throughout the day, * respected everyone's privacy by not insisting on group messages/group photo [Sean provided each of us with photos & videos of ourselves with the animals + allowed use of his hotspot to download them on our devices], * brought/prepared an amazing variety of food along with wine to suit individual preferences (Sean checked with us beforehand), and * ensured everyone felt seen/included by prompting individual and group conversations [there were 6 of us and he mentioned capping numbers at 9/10]
Best day of our Sydney stay!

5.00This was an absolutely perfect activity! The small group size was nice and made us feel extra special. We learned so much about the animals and they also provided fantastic pictures of our adventure including our time with Albert the koala and kangaroos. An added bonus was incredible food and wine. I highly recommend this tour!
Koalas, kangaroos, and an amazing time for the whole family!

5.00Absolutely recommend! Our family with kids ages 7, 10, 13 all loved this. Sean was an amazing host and the lunch was gourmet. We got to pet koalas and kangaroos, which may be the highlight of our time in Australia. Wonderful experience!!
My favorite excursion in Sydney!

5.00Best day in Sydney! Sean and Celine are fun, knowledgeable guides that made our experience at the Reptile Park unforgettable! Don’t let the name Retile Park mislead you. Yes, there are reptiles there but for me the best part was feeding, petting and photos with the kangaroos, emus and koalas. They are gentle and well taken care of. We also enjoyed the most amazing lunch that was prepared by Sean and Celine. What incredible hosts! I can’t recommend this trip highly enough!
Best ever experience

5.00Sean and Celine were the best. So friendly and made the day the best we had. They picked us up at the hotel. Provided a lot of information about Sydney and Australia in general. The bbq they made with gourmet burgers,shrimp, salmon, and sweet potato fries was fantastic. They arranged to see the kangaroos, Tasmanian devil, koalas, etc. so much fun. He took so many pictures of us and for us. We can’t say enough on how great they are. They were fantastic.
Best day in Sydney BY FAR!

5.00This was an experience I hope to never forget! Sean and Celine worked very hard to be sure we had the best day ever! First, they picked us up at our hotel, explained the day and then we headed north to the reptile park. I was a little nervous, I don’t really like reptiles- I was in for a great surprise! We got to feed and pet gentle, soft and sweet kangaroos. We got to touch and take photos with the cutest koalas. Then we saw emu, kimono dragons, a wombat, tree kangaroos and so much more. Just when we started to get tired and thirsty Celine and Sean laid out an appetizer spread fit for a king! So yummy and the wine was flowing. They then made us a lunch of gourmet burgers and so much more. We were stuffed full of delicious Aussie Bbq! To walk off the amazing meal, we got time to roam around the park on our own, spending more time at each exhibit. After all of that we learned how to throw a boomerang! I would highly recommend this tour/excursion. Sean and Celine are top notch tour guides and providers of the BEST DAY EVER in Sydney!

5.00Wow. What an incredible experience. I used to go the the Reptile park as a kid living in Sydney and was determined to make it back. It’s shockingly difficult to get there without a car and Sean solved my problems. He was not only extremely educational about the animals but passionate too. He took the most incredible pictures of us and cooked up an amazing Aussie BBQ lunch. I cannot recommend this experience more. You get up close to the animals in a way no where else offers with an incredible guide who knows exactly what he is doing. 20/10 experience
