Scenic World, zoo & koala photo
Wine Hop And Coastal Tours pairs Scenic World rides with Katoomba Cascades, the Three Sisters, Leura and Sydney Zoo. A digital photo close to a koala is included, and a harbour ferry finishes the day at Circular Quay. This is a photograph experience, not a promise of holding a koala.
