Hartley's Crocodile Adventure Half-Day Tour

Cairns, Australia

You will receive a unique eco experience on the lagoon cruise through the ecologically significant Melaleuca wetlands; the domain of the Estuarine (Saltwater) Crocodile. Explore the rest of the park with its abundance of wildlife including water birds, turtles, wallabies and cassowaries.

See the notorious "Head Shake" and "Death Roll" of a huge crocodile at the Crocodile Attack Show and the opportunity to hold a crocodile or a snake for a photo (own expense).

Discover the world's most venomous snakes at the Snake Show before the return transfer to your accommodation.

For those of you that may fancy a bite to eat, Hartley's has a licensed restaurant, Lilies. It specializes in regional delicacies including crocodile meat, and is ideally situated overlooking Hartley's Lagoon.

Hartley's Crocodile Adventures is a great day out for the whole family.

Thought this was a great day. It was a great croc attack show when one of the handlers get into the pen to show you the head shake and death roll

Very well organized afternoon. The boat tour and the crocodile attack show were fun, scary and informative.

My very full half-day trip to Hartley's. The crocodile feeding on the riverboat tour was excellent, as was the attack show. The tour of the crocodile farm was interesting if a little short. And Hartley's also has a number of other animals on site, including koalas, cassowaries and exotic birds. I would strongly recommend visiting this place if you have a spare half day in Cairns

Really enjoyed this. The snake and crocodile shows were a must. A half day trip is definitely enough to fit everything in.

Hartley's is a nice place to see Australian wildlife. It was well worth the half day and a great tour for someone arriving in Cairns early in the day and wanting to jump right in. All other tours began too early in the day before my 9 am arrival. The driver was very nice and quite knowledgeable about the habitat and local fauna.

The silence and stealth of the crocks was scary.

For the price it was an enjoyable afternoon out. Interesting but nothing too much out of the ordinary. The croc feed was cool. Not a must do but it was fun.

We did a half day, which was really worth doing. There was a lot to see: a great crocodile attack show, snake show, animal feeding, and more. There were huge crocodiles there, and also other animals to see like koalas, cassowaries, snakes, and lizards.

There was a lot of bush land. Not many attractions.
