Gec plane icon Sunshine Coast · Australia Zoo

Your own driver, your own pace

Australia Zoo is the zoo the Irwin family built, home of the Crocodile Hunter. It started in 1970 as a two-acre reptile park at Beerwah and now covers more than 700 acres, with crocodile shows in the Crocoseum, koalas, kangaroos and animals from around the world.

Getting there from the Gold Coast or Brisbane is a long drive to do yourself. On this tour you don't drive at all. Your driver collects you, the tickets are ready, and you stay at the zoo as long as you like. If you leave early, we can finish the day at Mooloolaba beach.
