Sunshine Coast and Zoo

Experience overview

Travel north from Brisbane along the scenic Sunshine Coast catching glimpses of the magnificent Glasshouse Mountains. Your destination is the Australia Zoo, made famous by Steve and Terri Irwin with their global documentaries. Begin your exploration by joining snakes, free-flight birds and crocs LIVE all while visiting the world famous Crocoseum. Ready for some real action? Be sure to grab a good seat for all the swooping, slithering and jaw-snapping action in the daily Wildlife Warriors Show. Watch the Wildlife Warriors in the Crocoseum where all the crocodile action happens. Next, you will visit the Tiger Temple which provides amazing opportunity for you to get up close with these magnificent Sumatran and Bengal tigers and witness their great power. After, board the free Africa Safari Shuttle which will take you to the Africa Exhibit in Queensland. The vast African savannah is home to zebras, giraffes, meerkats, cheetahs and rhinos where the public can watch these amazing animals interact as they would in the wild and where people can have their own unique experiences with them. Be sure to visit the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital where you can see vets saving endangered Australian animals before you hop back on the coach for your journey to The Ginger Factory. On arrival, enjoy a delicious lunch plus choice of Ginger Factory Tour or Live Bee Show, both with free tastings. Explore the beautiful rainforest and taste the local produce whilst you discover the widest range of Buderim Ginger products in the world. There are plenty of opportunities for close encounters of numerous animals including Koalas, Kangaroos, snakes, birds, alligators, possums and much more. Perhaps take part in an official Australia Zoo animal photo session (at your own expense), the ultimate souvenir.
