This isn't the first time I've used the Hop On in Sydney, and as always, I'm amazed at how well it works—the comments in my language, specifically Spanish, are very interesting. Keep up the good work.

I took 3 students to SEA LIFE . All enjoyed the lovely big fish sea life and informative pictures and education about the sea life packed into our beautiful city , Sydney

Enjoy a flexible sightseeing tour of Sydney with a 24-hour hop-on hop-off pass and get on and off at famous tops like Bondi Beach and Opera House.

Enjoy views from the open-top double-decker bus and benefit from amenities like free Wi-Fi, and an audio guide available in 8 languages.

See 13,000+ marine animals of 650 species at SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium. Encounter sharks, dugongs, penguins, and more in 9 different exhibits.

Experience the near-death thrill at the Shark Walk where nurse gray sharks float right above or get up close with sub-Antarctic Gentoo penguins.

Did you know? The construction of the Opera House took 14 years, from 1959 to 1973, and was famously over budget.

A truly memorable visit overall, and genuinely educational for all ages! Getting to see animals you might never encounter elsewhere ( some genuinely rare in the wild ) is a real privilege. We loved the jellyfish room with its stunning lighting, spotted a tiny seahorse on the netting, and admired the lionfish’s flowing spines. The shark tunnel was a highlight, watching them glide right above us, and we also saw a wobbegong shark resting on the rocks, king penguins preening each other, and a turtle gliding past. The aquarium looks compact from outside but is surprisingly spacious inside. That said, as animal lovers, a few things left us uneasy. The dugong was kept alone, which is hard to watch given these are social animals that naturally live in groups. We also think the touch pool with starfish and anemones should be discontinued; these are fragile invertebrates that need calm, undisturbed conditions, unlike rays, which tend to enjoy human contact. More broadly, some enclosures felt too small for the size of the animals in them. A worthwhile and educational visit, but one that left us hoping for real improvements in how these animals are cared for.

Sea life was awesome, they had a boat ride that takes you close to and around the penguin enclosure and wonderful underwater tunnels! We loved toranga zoo, I love how open and accessible the enclosures felt especially with the giraffes and gorillas, the Seal show is a must we got in line early to ensure a good spot at the front as seats fill up fast! The only thing I would say is it is probably best not to get the ferry inclusion on your tickets as it's super easy to get a ride from the public ferries and they operate more frequently than the private ferry.

We took our grandchildren as a birthday treat and they loved it. The highlight for us was definitely the penguin boat trip.....so wonderful to be up close and personal with these gorgeous creatures. The ticket purchase was easy and admission was straightforward. However, most of our experience was very crowded with far too many prams and beach buggies making accessibility to exhibits difficult at times. I really think there needs to be a better flow of visitors and in an emergency, it is definitely unsafe!
