What people are saying about New South Wales

The ride was really fun and the guide explained clearly what to expect during the ride, so it was not that scary. The views at the habour were amazing and the guide also stopped a few times at scenic places to explain to us what where the sights around the habour. Do expect to get slightly splashed but it is definitely worth it!

We had a great time, we recommend it. We had to rent a wheelchair for my Mum as she can't walk for too long. The zoo has wheel chair access however is a bit hard to get around when you go up hill, other than that the whole experience was good. Really nice views of the city.

The ferry ride from Circular Quay was great and then there was a bit of a wait for the cable car but not too long and the cable car ride up was great you could see so much of the zoo. So glad we did the visit that way.

We had a very good time, the whole trip was very well organised and fun. Noor was very entertaining, professional and funny. Thank you.

Loved it 100%. Chapar and his stories were cherry on the cake. My wife and I had an amazing day.
