About Taronga Zoo Sydney + Captain Cook round-trip boat ticket Transport Passes

Experience the best of Sydney with this combo ticket, combining entry to Taronga Zoo with a scenic round-trip ferry ride on the Captain Cook line. It’s the perfect way to see Australia’s unique wildlife while enjoying stunning harbour views from the water.

Local Legends & Stories

Taronga Zoo is set on the cliffs of Sydney Harbour and has been a beloved wildlife sanctuary since 1916. The area was originally inhabited by the Cammeraygal people, and the zoo now plays a key role in conserving Australia’s native species.

Must Do Experiences

Walk the Sky Safari cable car for panoramic harbour views, meet the iconic koalas and kangaroos up close, ride the ferry from Circular Quay or Darling Harbour for photo-worthy scenery, and enjoy the daily keeper talks at the zoo.

Hidden Gems

Catch the early morning feeding sessions for a more intimate wildlife experience, take the ferry from Manly for a longer scenic route with views of the Opera House from a different angle, and visit the zoo’s behind-the-scenes tours if available.

What Makes it Special

Combines two iconic Sydney experiences in one ticket for convenience and savings, offers a ferry ride on the beautiful Sydney Harbour with multiple boarding options, and provides easy access to rare Australian animals in a scenic cliff-top setting.

Available Facilities

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

Capture the Sydney skyline from the zoo’s cliff-top viewpoints, photograph the animals during feeding times for lively shots, and use the ferry’s open deck for wide harbour photos with the Opera House and Harbour Bridge.

Cultural Etiquette
