Step into Steve Irwin's legendary Australia Zoo on the Sunshine Coast — home to the world-famous Crocoseum, tigers, cheetahs, and 1,200 animals. An adrenaline-charged, conservation-driven wildlife spectacular unlike anywhere on earth.
What to expect
An hour north of Brisbane along the Sunshine Coast hinterland, Australia Zoo sprawls across 700 acres of world-class zoological parkland. The iconic Crocoseum show — with massive saltwater crocodiles and free-flight birds of prey — is genuinely unmissable. VIP guests enjoy exclusive keeper access, skipping all queues to meet the Zoo's most prized residents up close. Steve Irwin's conservation legacy infuses every encounter with genuine purpose and passion.
Good to know
Located in Beerwah, approximately 1 hour from Portside Wharf by private transfer. Pre-book VIP experiences directly via the Australia Zoo website — they sell out rapidly. Allow 5–6 hours; arrange a private car transfer for the most efficient timing.
