When looking just isn’t enough… you’ll have the closest of encounters with our fascinating Australian animals on this two hour, behind-the-scenes journey led by those who know the animals better than anyone else – our Zoo keepers.

Set on traditional Cammeraigal country, Taronga Zoo has many amazing Aboriginal stories to tell. Nura Diya, meaning “this country or camp”, takes you on a journey through Taronga as you hear stories of Australian wildlife told through the perspective of an Aboriginal guide, with tales of their shared history with the animals and land.

Look and learn as an expert guide introduces you to Australia’s unusual wildlife, giving you excellent photo opportunities along the way. Inquisitive minds will appreciate the intimate group size, giving them the chance to make the most of their guide’s rich knowledge.

Share in on one of Sydney’s best kept secrets – the Zoo as it awakens after sunrise. From 7am, your group will have exclusive use of the grounds on your guided tour, then a cooked Aussie breakfast set to the spectacular view of Sydney Harbour, giving magical photo opportunities.

From one end of the Zoo to the other, an experienced guide will take you through the best displays, the most exciting animals, and introduce you to Australia’s native wildlife.
