Set sail on your Whale Watching vessel at 9:30 am, heading out of Sydney Heads in search of the magnificent Humpback and occasionally the Southern Right Whale. Don’t forget your camera, as Humpback sightings are on the rise each year, and these incredible creatures love to display tail slaps and breaches.

The Zoo is situated right on the Sydney Harbour foreshore, offering some of the best views of the city from within the park. Taronga Zoo is home to a wide array of Australia’s remarkable wildlife, including Koalas and platypuses, as well as animals from around the globe, such as Asian elephants, lions, and giraffes.
