Nura Diya Aboriginal Discovery Tour at Taronga Zoo

Developed together with the indigenous community and led by an Aboriginal guide, this tour lets you experience their personal stories and discover their important connections to the land, animals, and nature. Nura Diya means "this country or camp," and this tour is a great way to uncover the best of Australia.

See Australia's amazing native animals in a new light as you get close to a koala, kangaroo, wallaby or emu. As you explore the Australian Walkabout trails, listen to Aboriginal stories about the creation of the native animals and the landscape. Learn the centuries-old traditional uses of plants for food, tools, and medicine. Enjoy interactive experiences with unique Australian wildlife and a vast array of Australia's beautiful native wetland birds. Top off the experience with a delicious morning tea.

This discovery tour is perfect if you want to see Australia's wonderful wildlife up close, and also want to learn more about Australia's important cultural heritage, and the role played by Taronga Zoo's Aboriginal guides. Your tour also includes entry to the zoo and access to the Sky Safari cable car.
