Experience an outback animal adventure right in the centre of the city. Walk through different Australian habitats and encounter some of the most loved, feared and unique native animals. Meet the huge crocodile called Rex, say hello to kangaroos, wallabies and emus, encounter cuddly koalas, beautiful butterflies and more! WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo features interactive displays, and daily keeper talks. You can even fly above Rex on the WILD Flight zip-line.

When you feel like taking a stroll in green forest surroundings, go to the Carmen Sylva forest promenade to experience the atmosphere of Opatija’s hinterland. If you’d like to explore the green hinterland of the town, Opatija has the fantastic Carmen Sylva forest promenade located a little further away from the sea. This path offers a great opportunity to return to nature and enjoy fresh air enriched with scents of the forest. Take a walk along the narrow paths and discover a vantage point with a gazebo situated on Queen Elisabeth’s Rock, which local people call Mala Fortica. From here, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the surrounding area!

Shangri-La's Rasa Ria Resort & Spa launched a nature care project to raise awareness for endangered species and faunas endemic to Sabah and facilitate rehabilitation programmes aiming at returning these species back into the wild. The young orang-utans are definitely the stars of the show but there is a sheer number of fascinating animals to look at and the staff will explain in detail the process of rehabilitation. Do not forget to wear sturdy footwear and prepare for mosquitos.
