Australia Zoo by Croc Express Coach

Brisbane, Australia

Spend the day at Australia Zoo, Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin's living legacy. With return hotel transfers from Brisbane or the Gold Coast, you'll travel on the air-conditioned Croc Express coach service and enjoy plenty of time exploring this fabulous wildlife theme park.

Australia Zoo is too good to rush, and you'll have almost 6 hours to spend here. The zoo's many shows and demonstrations include the famous crocodile feeding and snake handling. The handlers walk some of the animals through the park, so you have the opportunity for an up-close and personal wildlife encounter.

Step aboard Steve's Safari Shuttle and explore all that Australia Zoo has to offer including the  newest exhibit - Africa! Experience the wide open plains of the African Savannah and see exotic animals such as giraffe, rhino and zebra interacting together. See snakes, free-flight birds and crocs in the world-famous Crocoseum show and get your adrenalin pumping as you see a crocodile launch a strike from the waters edge.

En route to the zoo you'll pass the majestic Glass House Mountains, bordered by pineapple farms and pine forests as you travel along the Steve Irwin Way scenic route to Australia Zoo.

We had a great time at the Zoo which was just great. The driver did a great job as well. A perfect day in Brisbane.

Great fun! No air conditioning on the way back though.

The transfer was on time and our driver Alfie was great. On the drive up to the zoo he pointed out everything you wanted to know.Very smooth ride. The zoo is fun day, you get up close to the Koalas and Kangroos and of course crocs.

A little disappointing we expected to see more for the prices charged

Review by: Kerri R	March 2011
Excellent! Driver provided some commentary and dropped us off and picked us up at the exact times provided. Very pleased.

1st class trip, driver was full of knowledge and good tips for the zoo visit

Our transfer to the zoo was great. Everything ran like clockwork. It made for a stress-free day for the group of four of us. My mother and I were disappointed in Australia Zoo however. It is exceptionally well-kept, but it is a small zoo, with a limited range of animals. You get the impression from the name that it is the best zoo Australia has to offer. We wonder how many overseas tourists are of this impression too. Our visit was at the start of February and we got the impression that many of the staff were exhausted after the school holidays and lacked motivation to make the visit exciting. There was one older male worker at the morning Elephant Feeding display in particular, that was even quite rude to myself and later my mother as we approached an elephant to feed it. The Crocoseum experience was also disappointing. I realise that animals are unpredictable and that you cannot expect that they will perform on queue each time, but the young man dealing with the croc lacked confidence and his approaches to the croc were nothing like what we expected. Only one of the birds performed as was expected in their part of the show, indicating a lack of training. This was also disappointing. The food court area was good and we loved the hand-made wooden tables. It is a shame that Steve's infectious enthusiasm was not evident on the day we visited Australia Zoo.

Australia Zoo is incredible and puts a great educational twist on the usual zoo experience. Feeding an elephant is a definite must do activity!

Amazing day-recommend everyone to go to Australia Zoo. Journey from the Gold Coast quite long and Frank can certainly talk but I enjoyed my trip very much.

This was an excellent tour. It was wonderful -- unlike any other zoo I have visited.

Absolutely loved this trip!! Picked us up at our hostel and had a wonderful day!

The best zoo for hands on experience Staff were great so friendly happy to show the animals grounds very clean amenities

If you drive with Frank, you will have a very good time. He explains the trip, and what not about the Australia Zoo, and the life and times of Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Humter.

We had an excellent trip to Australia Zoo & would certainly book with your firm again. Thank you for keeping the front seat available for me, it made things so much easier for us as my wife is in a wheelchair.

Review by: Matthew L	April 2010
The trip was quick and fun. The park was great. Any fan of the Croc Hunter would enjoy this trip.

Review by: Charles D, United Kingdom	March 2010

Review by: Ariana N, Canada	February 2010

Review by: Jill P	February 2010
I got to pet a Kangaroo.

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	September 2009
The zoo is great! It is a long ride there and we would have had a tough time finding the place had we rented a car and drove. The driver talked all the way there which was a little overwhelming.

Review by: Virginia N, New Zealand	September 2009
This was a great trip! Our driver recommended the best way to see most of the zoo given our 4-5 hours stop there. He was totally on the money. Well worth the time and money!

Review by: Lindsay N, United States of America	August 2009
Truly amazing experience. Awesome bus trip as well with ideas for getting the very most out of your day.

Review by: Margaret J, Australia	August 2009
Great birthday present for my daughter. Picked up by great coach driver, fun and interesting points on our way to park and good short movie on way home. Enjoyed zoo and hands-on elephant experience. Great to get up so close and personal with so many animals. Photo with python was tops. All staff most helpful and facilities great.

Review by: Elisabeth Y, United States of America	July 2009
I had a great day and was pleased a tour bus could take me to the zoo, which was some distance away from Brisbane. I wish we had some more time to spend at the zoo. I felt a little rushed.

Review by: Anonymous, New Zealand	May 2009
This was awesome. Crocs Rule!

Review by: Anonymous, Ireland	March 2009
Well organised. We also booked guided tour around the zoo which was very interesting.

Review by: John C	October 2008
Excellent trip from pick up at hotel entertaining bus trip with lots of local knowledge from driver staff at Australia Zoo who were extremely pleasant.

Review by: Anonymous, United Kingdom	September 2008
Very well presented zoo, we loved watching the tiger cubs playing and finding out all about the elephants.

Review by: Anonymous	May 2008
It is great to have transportation to the zoo and be left alone to explore it on your own. Shuttle was late in picking us up, so we arrived at the zoo 30 minutes after it opened.

Review by: Diane L C, United States of America	April 2008
A definite must do. Loved it! Steve and his family did a wonderful job with the zoo.

Review by: Pat B, United Kingdom	March 2008
Excellent in every way.

Review by: Heather V	March 2008
I thought we were going to be able to get out of the coach and visit the glass mountains a little which was sort of implied but we just whizzed past them.

Review by: Emma C, United Kingdom	November 2007
Where else would you get to stroke kangaroos and koala bears? Oh and see live croc shows too. Had a fantastic day.

Review by: Lauren B, Australia	March 2007
Australia Zoo is a must see on your trip to Queensland, Australia. I highly recommend this trip to all travellers. Although the bus ride from Surfer's Paradise is long it was worth it. The animal exhibits are outstanding and it's the only place in Australia where you can hand feed an elephant! The croc demo is a must see. Although Steve is no longer with us his croc team does him proud and carries on with the great crocoseam show. Many opportunities are available to get up close to native Australian animals and have your photo taken with them. This is one place in Australia that all international travellers must see!!!!

Review by: Tracey O, United States of America	October 2006
I've been to 19 zoos in my life. The Croc Hunters's zoo was the best of all because of the fantastic croc show!
