Disappointed

Steve_M, Apr 2023

The bus drivers communication skills were severely lacking and the bus left the zoo 10 ministers earlier to departure time, leaving behind at least 6 guests…

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Hi May I ask which date did you join the tour? We will investigate more further.

Amazing

You can't come to Queensland without visiting Australia Zoo. Unfortunately we were staying at Surfers Paradise so this entailed a 7 hour round trip but I still don't regret our visit to the zoo. If you are staying in Brisbane it's a n brainer. The zoo is excellent whilst there might not be as many animals as some zoos their accommodation is first class. Of course, the crocodile in the main display area is the main attraction but the flying birds demonstration before was the best we have ever seen. Recommended.

Excellent service

We had a fantastic time. The bus trip made it stress free. The bus was comfortable and the driver was friendly.

The actual Zoo was...

The actual Zoo was amazing!! But the bus ride not so much. It took over 3 hours to get to the zoo and we were offered no toilet stops. The operator was very nice, however. Would not recommend! Would’ve been easier to hire a car.

Very poor experience.

3 & 1/2 hours each way from the Gold Coast on a bus with no toilet! Didn’t realise we would be stopping in Brisbane to pick up & drop of more travelers. Even picked up one woman in Brisbane and dropped her off in some backwater location on the way that delayed us. It was a bit concerning when you see the sign for the Sunshine Coast pointing left and your driver turns right and heads under the Gateway bridge into a seedy part of town to drop off this woman (we think it must have been a private job on the side for the driver). Arrived at Australia Zoo tired and busting for the toilet. This long trip meant our time at the zoo was shorter than expected. We will never use Viator again!

Great trip to Australia Zoo!

Wonderful trip! We got to see Brisbane city and enjoyed every second of it! The bus was comfortable and our driver was very kind and friendly! Thank you!!!

Great tour organisers

Srinivasan_v, June 2022

Australia Zoo was amazing and a must see place. The tour was neatly organised and the pick up was on time. Our suggestion for the tour organisers are 1. They could provide water bottles on the couch 2. There could be at least one pee pee stop / or rest rooms
