Cairns Tropical Zoo by Day or by Night

Tour Description (Day):

Cairns Tropical Zoo has broken the mould of traditional zoos by creating opportunities for you, the visitor, to interact with their animals. There are numerous opportunities during the day to get close, touch, feel and make some new animal friends. Cairns Tropical Zoo philosophy is that personal interaction with animals encourages a greater understanding of native wildlife and promotes the need to preserve their natural habitats.

Tour Description (Night):

Enjoy a delicious barbeque dinner of steak, sausages and seafood with fresh garden salads followed by a dessert. Relax with complimentary drinks from their licensed bar.

After dinner, guides will provide you with a torch and lead you into the darkness to meet the creatures of the night. Learn how owls hunt, touch a possum and pat a koala. On clear nights the guides will take you star gazing. See the Southern Cross, the Big Dipper and other well-known constellations.

Follow the guides as they lead you safely through the crocodiles’ lair. See the croc eyes glow in your torchlight.

In the Aussie bush, there’s always a chance you will cross paths with a “Swaggie” (an original Australian bushman). Join their hospitable Swaggie and enjoy billy tea and damper with him by the campfire. His friends, the kangaroos, will come down to say G’day and maybe even share a bite to eat!

After more complimentary cold beer or wine, join in the fun as the guides teach you some famous Aussie Bush Dances. Dance and sing along — it’s more fun than you can imagine!
