Itinerary

Please ensure you check your pick up time and place for the tour date, and be at the meeting point on time. For the sake of other customers, we cannot wait for late arrivals. Due to recent construction in the CBD area, the bus may be delayed. We seek your understanding and patience, and our driver will ensure that all the customers waiting are picked up. Occasionally, due to the traffic, the driver is unable to stop directly outside the hotel entrance, but will stop as close as possible, and will make sure to collect the customers. AUSTRALIA ZOO TICKETS: Our driver will check everyone in at the zoo with his passenger manifest, so you do not need to print your voucher. • Please note our bus does not have a toilet on board • Bus starts at the Gold Coast travelling north to Brisbane CBD for picking up Brisbane customers from a few hotels in CBD area • It depends on that day’s bookings what time we arrive at the zoo, but we must leave the zoo by 4pm, due to evening traffic, so the driver may ask you to meet BEFORE 4pm. NOTE: The bus stops at Tangalooma Wharf, before heading to the zoo (return journey as well)

A long drive from Surfers Paradise , but worth the drive . Beautiful , clean & the animals are well cared for . By far the best Zoo in Australia .

Australia Zoo is incredible!

Published on Dec, 2024

This experience was so great! It seemed a little unorganized at first because the van showed up a few minutes late and the drive didn’t know who was on the wine tour and who was on the other glow worm tour, but it ended up being so great! Andy and Anthony were both so nice and sweet and told us all about the questions we had, and the bus ride back everyone slept so we also slept. lol the zoo was amazing. 10/10 recommend!!!

An Awesome Day at Australia Zoo

Published on Oct, 2024

Seeing all the pics of Steve Irwin was very emotional….he was so inspirational and such an awesome legend/wildlife warrior. We loved it all and everything that we experienced at Australia Zoo including the Croc Show at the Crocaseum and the gorgeous Tiger at the Tiger Area. Also, all the awesome friendly welcoming staff. The merchandise options are terrific and plenty and very reasonably priced. Thank you Irwin Family and the well kept and well maintained beautiful Australia Zoo xox

Unforgettable

Published on Sep, 2024

Okay, I was extremely worried about the bad reviews I was reading prior to booking, but I had a very limited time on the Gold Coast and just Australia in general. I thought when am I going to ever get the opportunity to visit THE Australia Zoo again as I was visiting all the way from Los Angeles. I’ve been obsessed with the Irwin Family since I was a little girl and Australia Zoo had always been on my bucket list. So I went ahead and booked this hoping for the best. The main concerns I’d seen with the bad reviews were the reliability of the bus company failing to communicate when/if the bus was cancelled for the day if they didn’t reach the minimum amount of people required to make the trek to the zoo for the day. Because of this, I messaged the tour operator the night before to confirm the meetup time and place. The tour operator confirmed with me and so that put me at ease. The next morning, the bus picked me up and a few other people at our meeting point in front of Mantra Legends right on time. The bus ride from Gold Coast is a total of about 3 hours one way so 6 hours round trip. Sounds agonizingly long when coming from Gold Coast especially as the bus has no bathroom facilities and doesn’t make a stop for passengers to use the bathroom. Does stop in Brisbane to get more passengers but no one is to get off the bus for any reason during the stops. So just make sure you go beforehand and refrain from drinking too much liquids. Surprisingly the length of time flew by for me both ways as I was chatting with a few local passengers. Bus is clean and modern. Now, for the zoo. INCREDIBLE. Never been to a zoo so interactive and educational. I had the time of my life seeing all the different species of animal. Was super excited for the Crocoseum show. It was amazingly entertaining and the cherry on top to this whole excursion was the Irwin’s coming out to feed the crocs during the show!!! It was a dream come true for this lifelong Irwin family fan. It was beautiful and emotional seeing how the family has continued on Steve’s legacy. Their passion for animals and conservation is inspiring. So yes overall great experience! The bus gets there around 10am and you are directed to meetup back at the drop off point at 4pm. So u have about 6hours to enjoy the zoo which I felt was a good amount. I believe those who have had a negative experience with this booking, but I just think I happened to go on a day where everything went right. Hopefully with the bad reviews the bus company has seen, they’ve made it a point to be better and more communicative if the bus needs to be canceled for the day. With my experience however, I would recommend
