Sydney: Opera House Guided Tour with Entrance Ticket - Beneath the sails: architecture you can understand

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 8,312 reviews · 1 hour · from $33Our pick

Tour Sydney Opera House beyond the sails, with theatrical spaces, rare photo spots, sharp storytelling, and 300 stairs in one hour.

“The “behind the scenes” access was my favorite part. The entire tour was excellent. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. A special mention needs to be made about the headphones on the tour: we remarked that it was absolutely the best listening experience ever on a tour! I understand that sound quality is the key to a musical venue, but extending that to the audio tour was greatly appreciated. I would definitely recommend the tour to anyone!”

Penguin Parade: General Viewing Ticket

5.Penguin Parade: General Viewing Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 1,069 reviews · 2 hours · from $22Best value

Watch Phillip Island’s Little penguins return from the sea, then follow them along boardwalks to their burrows with a practical general-viewing ticket.

“There were a lot of visitors as expected and overall people did out their phones away as requested by the guides but there will always be the annoying few who have FOMO and use theor phones to take videos and photos, spoiling the experience for others sitting near them. I could barely see the penguins as they came ashore, but managed to see some in their burrows ok the walk back to the main hall. I enjoyed the experience as I knew that my purchasing a ticket would go towards supporting the sanctuary and its inhabitants.”

“It was definetely a heartwarming experience best for all walks of life. I had a lot of fun most especially the tour in the wild where we see the group of rhinos, giraffes, and all saharan animals. I also love how the zoo is continously breeding its kins to fight for extinction and that is definetely what we need for our wild to be able to survive for the next generations to come. I would definetely come back and recommend to other family members and friends. It was a great oppurtunity.”
