What To Expect

This memorable wildlife experience includes hotel pickup and your Singapore Zoo entrance fee. When you arrive at the zoo, located in the northern area of Singapore, start at your buffet breakfast with the zoo’s famous orangutans, if option selected when booking (see the Itinerary for details about the breakfast). If not, enjoy free time to wander the zoo on your own before your tour begins.

When it’s time for your guided zoo tour, hop aboard an open-air tram for a journey around the zoo’s open habitats, specially designed to imitate natural wildlife environments, from the rain forests of Southeast Asia to the foothills of the Himalayas. While large animals like elephants and zebras roam a safe distance from your tram, there are other animals who may come right up to you as you ride along. There are also stops where you can hop out of the tram to walk.

During your tour, learn about the various species at the zoo from your knowledgeable guide. The goal of the Singapore Zoo is that by the time you leave, you have a new appreciation for and wonder of the planet’s fascinating creatures and their delicate habitats.

    The pick up was on time, drive to the zoo was excellent. English speaking tour guide was very knowledgeable, gave us a lot of information and walk us through the zoo for the most famous attractions to see and then we had a time on our own to walk in the zoo and saw a sea lion show. Experience was very good, nice excursion, highly recommended.

    Great time at the zoo

    Hotel pickup early in the morning. Breakfast with the orangutangs, presentations with the handlers, and zoo tour well done. Dropped off back at the hotel.

    Dear John, Thank you very much for your kind feedback. Hope you enjoyed the tour. Have a pleasant day and enjoy the weekend. With best regards Fay
    lovely zoo
    Raymona_v, Mar 2024
    my dresm eould have been the breakfast withe orangutans. which didn‘t happen. no idea why. had a lovely guide though who was full of advice and ideas.
    Response from Host, Apr 2024
    Dear Raymond, First, would like to apologize that since the passing of Ah Meng the Orangutan, and also due to Covid the Zoo implemented a tight schedule and program for animal safety. Thank you for your positive feedback on the guide and hope to see back to Singapore. With best regards Fay
    A Total Waste of time and money
    Deb_Z, Mar 2024
    Although the tour guide was very nice, we signed up for “Breakfast with Orangutans”. There was no breakfast and it turned out to be a tour of the zoo. Not at all what we were expecting nor what we paid for. It was basically a $66 ticket to the zoo.
    Response from Host, Apr 2024
    Dear Deb, First, would like to apologize for the inconvenience and the confusion on the tour. Since the passing of Ah Meng the Orangutan many years back and after Covid the Zoo had strict policy on the program as they do not allow close in contact with the animals for safety. Also may I have your full name in order for me to check your booking history why breakfast was not provided. Breakfast is an option it does not come with the tour unless you book for the Breakfast in the Wild. Also would appreciate the date of the tour so that we could investigate . Thank you and very much With best regards Fay
    Thank you!

    Really excellent tour, Julie was very nice and she was knowledgeable about Singapore. Even gave me a cute friendship bracelet :)
    Response from Host, Apr 2024
    Dear Ramji, Again, thank you for your kind words and for the feedback on our tour guide. Have a blessed weekend ahead. With best regards Fay
    Lovely time at the zoo
    Gaimine_C, Mar 2024
    Marie is a great guide. She's very welcoming, professional and detailed oriented. Before turning us loose, she walked us through the zoo to show us where to get on the tram and where we would meet after the tour. Breakfast was great and they offer a large variety of foods.
    Response from Host, Apr 2024
    Dear Gaimin, Thank you for your kind words and positive review on our tour guide. Will definitely share with her your positive review. We hope to see you back to Singapore again. With best regards Fay
    Breakfast like no other
    Tracy_W, Mar 2024
    A wonderful experience for young and old. We really enjoyed the breakfast with the animals. Easy to get around and the animals look very well cared for
    Response from Host, Apr 2024
    Dear Tracy, Thank you very much for your positive and kind words. We are also glad that you enjoyed the tour as the Mandai Wildlife group really look after the animals welfare and their safety. Look forward to seeing you again in Singapore. With best regards Fay
    Breakfast in the wild
    Jane_E, Mar 2024
    What a lovely experience this was. Apart from the naughty orangutan who refused to join us haha. Highly recommend a visit to the zoo. Nicholas our guide was great. Whole tour from start to finish went seamlessly.
    Response from Host, Mar 2024
    Dear Ms Jane, Thank you very much for your lovely review and feedback. The naughty orangutan is the highlight of the show so at times it shows some attitude which the Zoo could not control. But we are glad that you enjoyed the tour. Will definitely share your good comment with our Tour Guide Nicholas. Have a good day and blessed weekend ahead of you
    Good tour
    Raymond_W, Feb 2024
    Enjoyed the tour very much. Pick up was on time which meant we got to the Zoo early. Tour guide was friendly engaging and interesting
    Response from Host, Feb 2024
    Dear Raymond, Hope I got your name correctly as I can only see part of your profile name. Would like to say thank you for your kind feedback and review. Appreciate very much. Will also share the good news with our tour Guide. Again thank you very much and take care
    Do it again in a couple of years
    Ian_G, Feb 2024
    A well organized experience with sufficient freedom and support to make it worth recommending to others
    Response from Host, Feb 2024
    Dear Ian, Thank you very much for your kind review and feedback. We appreciate very much. We look forward to welcoming you back to Singapore!
    Activity cancelled less than 5 minutes before expected pickup!
    Jeffery_P, Feb 2024
    We were scheduled to be picked up at our hotel at 8:00AM for our zoo trip. At exactly 7:57AM we received a message that the trip had been cancelled- due to the Lunar New Year. We purposely booked this trip knowing it was the New Year and also knowing that the zoo was open!
    Response from Host, Feb 2024
    Dear Sir, First would like to apologize for the last-minute cancellation which we do not usually practice but this case was exceptionally unexpected. Nevertheless, I understand from our colleague that we had informed Viator to do a refund to you. Again we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused.
    Glad we went
    Shirley_P, Feb 2024
    Very knowledgeable tour guide with excellent hints on better planning to see animals before the heat got too much for them (and us). Breakfast was a waste of time and money and not recommended.
    Response from Host, Feb 2024
    Dear Ms Shirley, Thank you for your feedback with regards to the tour guide and apologies if the breakfast is not to your expectations. We will send a feedback to the attraction and request for a better selection.
    UNRELIABLE TOUR OPERATOR
    Suzanne_G, Jan 2024
    On Oct. 7th, I received an Email from Viator to notify me that the tour operator sent me tue folliwing message: "we have tentatively confirmed the Breakfast in the Wild on Dec 23. We can only confirm again nearer to date as at the moment we only have you booked. But it requires a minimum of 4 pax". I had paid 124$ by credit card for that tour. I arrived in Singapore on Dec 22 from Canada -- a very long and exhausting flight and was to embark on a cruise ship by the end of the day the next day (Dec 23). For me, a visit to thr Singapore Zoo was a once in a lifetime opportunity and it was to be a highlight of my trip in South-East Asia. The problem is that the tour operator never confirmed that I was definitely booked for that tour. I was at my hotel, in my room on Dec 23. The tour operator allege that the car came to the hotel lobby to pick me up, but that I did not show up. Not only I have paid $ 124 for a tour that I did not get due to no fault on my part, but I lost the only opportunity I had to see the Singapore Zoo. Therefore, I dot not advise you to book with that tour operator because, in my experience, they are NOT RELIABLE. A responsible company would not have dealt with a client the way they did with me. Not only do they not take responsibility for the fact that they never confirmed the tentative booking made early October, they are also lying when they pretend they came to pick me up at my hotel and that I was no show. VERY UNHAPPY with that company. BEWARE.
    Response from Host, Feb 2024
    Dear Ms Suzanna, First would like to apologize for the inconveniences or any issues that caused your trip. We have noted this feedback as priority and we will investigate accordingly.
    Great Tour
    Jeffrey_V, Jan 2024

    Response from Host, Feb 2024
    Dear Sir / Madam, Thank you once again for your feedback and comment.
    Poor
    Simon_C, Nov 2023
    Paid for breakfast in the wild , didn’t get it !!!!! , the guide told us it wasn’t included then came looking for us after the event to say had made a mistake but was too late , tried to contact customer service they are now ignoring me , I bought this for my wife for Xmas as she loves animals we left very upset and paid a lot for just a walk round the zoo , ripped off !!! The zoo it’s self is a fantastic place to visit and the animals appear to be well looked after however won’t use Viator again
    Well worth it!
    Lea_G, Nov 2023
    Appreciated that the guide kept us on schedule so we could see the sea lion show. Advertised as tram but did walking instead to see closer up. Nice to have the option.
    Excellent trip to Singapore Zoo
    Antoine_L, Nov 2023
    Pick up was punctual and Paul waa a great guide. Zoo was spectacular in beautiful setting with up close views of all the animals.
    Does not live up to expectations
    lorraine_w, Nov 2023
    Driver turned up 30 minutes late & we had no response to texts to the guide. We found out everyone was told they were being collected @8.00am - mad rush to get to the zoo - even the rep advised he was getting worried. Breakfast with the animals - this was one snake, an owl & one orangutan- certainly nothing like the picture advertised. The whole group said they were disappointed. Photos taken by the zoo trying to sell them with other orangutans which were superimposed & not even in the photos- when I asked about this the photographer walked off. The experience was certainly not worth the money & a lot of disappointed & dissatisfied people.
    An almost naturalistic zoo
    Tony_C, Nov 2023
    Glad to see the zoo specialised in tropical animals, good to see American v Asian v African. I was surprised at the insects and butterflies, so many species.
    Memories
    Sally_P, Nov 2023
    Driver was arrived on time and was a very pleasant journey to and from Zoo. The breakfast was amazing and the high was seeing the animals up close
