Koala & Kangaroos Experience, Waterfalls and Scenic Train Journey

About this tour

Spend a full day on Sydney's Central Coast meeting native wildlife and exploring coastal scenery. Start at an award-winning animal park where you'll feed kangaroos and photograph koalas whilst they munch eucalyptus. Walk through Brisbane Water National Park to spot waterfalls, local birdlife and native trees, then enjoy lunch with views of pristine lakes and beaches. Wind down with a scenic train ride back to Sydney, cutting through bushland and crossing the Hawkesbury River.

What to expect

The day kicks off at the wildlife park where a ranger walks you through enclosures housing everything from hopping kangaroos to venomous reptiles. You'll get close enough to photograph koalas during their morning feed and handle interactions with kangaroos. After that, you'll trade the park for Brisbane Water National Park—a short drive away—where a walk takes you past waterfalls nestled among red gums and banksias. It's quiet bush rather than dramatic scenery. Lunch follows, then a final stint exploring coastal lakes and beaches where you might spot pelicans. The journey home unfolds on a scenic train: you'll sit back as the route winds through native bush, creeks and the Hawkesbury River before pulling into central Sydney.

Good to know

Bring your own water bottle—none is supplied. The day suits all fitness levels; walks are gentle. Infant car seats available on request. Service animals welcome. Train ride home is unguided, so factor in travel time back to the city.
