Hartley's Crocodile Adventures Park Entry

Discover the wild world of Australian native animals and exotic wildlife at a wildlife sanctuary 1 hour north of Cairns. See wombats, kangaroos, koalas, reptiles, birds, and more.

Get up close and personal with Australia's native and exotic wildlife at Hartley's Crocodile Adventures, a wildlife sanctuary and ecotourism park located between Cairns and Port Douglas at Wangetti. Upon arrival at the park, you will be allocated a time for a boat tour during which you will be able to see crocodiles being pole fed.

During your visit to the park, learn more about crocodiles and snakes with daily talks and shows, including a tour of the crocodile farm, a crocodile attack show, and a venomous snake demonstration.

In between shows, feel free to explore the 2500 meters of boardwalks and pathways winding through melaleuca wetlands, eucalypt woodland, and riverine rainforest, enjoying a wide variety of native and exotic animals. No doubt after all the walking you'll be hungry for the range of snacks and meals available at the onsite bistro.

After the shows, explore the wildlife exhibits at your own pace. See a Komodo dragon, alligators, cassowaries, wombats, koalas, emus, lizards, kangaroos, and wallabies. In the Gallery of Living Art, meet tropical and predatory birds in a walk-through aviary, then enter the reptile room to admire exotic reptiles. Finish the day with a selfie with a Baby croc, or friendly snake or lizard for a memorable souvenir of your day out.
