On some days, over 100 kangaroos can be spotted. These are wild animals, so their behavior depends on the day and how they are approached. Visitors might see them lying down, grazing, or bounding around.
The tour includes travel to and from Sydney accommodation and the kangaroo habitat, possibly in Outer Sydney or the Blue Mountains, with a stop at the Parramatta River. It also covers National Park fees, a driver/guide, and an air-conditioned vehicle for comfort. This trip gives people a chance to see real kangaroos in the wild.
