FULL LENGTH TOUR DESCRIPTION
Board the coach with your guide and travel approximately one hour from Brisbane to visit Australia Zoo, home to TV's late "Crocodile Hunter", Steve Irwin. Upon arrival, friendly escorts from the zoo will meet and greet you and take you to the star attraction where you can see the highlight of the Zoo, the famous Croc Show. Menacing and awesome, this show will entertain and educate you to the ways of the Crocodile in a manner that will have you laughing and clapping.
