Get up close and personal with the nocturnal wildlife in the tropics at the Cairns Night Zoo. Enjoy a delicious barbecue dinner and then meet the creatures of the night. Learn how owls hunt, touch a possum and pat a koala. On clear nights enjoy star gazing.

In the Aussie bush, there's always a chance you will cross paths with a "Swaggie" (an original Australian bushman). Join the hospitable Swaggie and enjoy billy tea with him by the campfire.

Itinerary

You will be picked up from your hotel in Cairn or Northern Beaches. Accompanied by an English-speaking guide, you will travel in a coach for a night experience at the Cairns Zoo. Alternatively, you can reach the zoo on your own (please meet the guide at the entrance to the zoo at 7:00pm sharp) and your tour will start from there.

Enjoy a true Australian BBQ dinner of steak, sausages and seafood with fresh garden salads followed by dessert. Relax with a drink from the bar.

After dinner, your guide will give you a torch and accompany 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 enjoy star gazing. Follow the guide as he leads you safely through the crocodiles' lair. See the crocodile's eyes glow in your torchlight.

You may meet a 'Swaggie', an Australian bushman. Enjoy some billy tea with him and later, some complimentary cold beer or wine and join in the fun as your guide teaches you Aussie Bush Dances.
