Hartley's Crocodile Adventures

Hartley's Crocodile Adventures

Hartley's Crocodile Adventures is located in the northern part of Cairns, Queensland, and has a history of over 70 years. It is one of the premier destinations in Queensland for seeing crocodiles and wildlife. The park is home not only to crocodiles but also to a variety of other wild animals such as snakes, koalas, and lizards.

The most thrilling attractions at Hartley's Crocodile Adventures are the animal shows, which are considered some of the best and most famous in all of Australia. These include crocodile feeding demonstrations, venomous snake shows, and more. Among them, the "Crocodile Attack Show" is the most anticipated adrenaline-pumping performance. While you feel the thrill, you’ll also learn about crocodile growth and how to stay safe if you encounter one in the wild. For those brave enough, you can even feed the crocodiles—park staff hand-feed the crocs and play with them, an impressive feat that earns loud applause. The staff also arrange photo opportunities with the crocodiles, letting visitors experience their charisma up close. Though a bit scary, it’s truly a rare experience.

Visitors can also try hand-feeding turkeys and koalas, getting closer to these lively and adorable creatures. A wide range of wetland wildlife also allows guests to learn many interesting animal facts while having fun.
