Hartley's Crocodile Adventures: Entry Ticket

Hartley's Crocodile Adventures is a wildlife park north of Cairns on the Captain Cook Highway, dedicated to Australian crocodiles and native fauna. The park centres on a large lagoon where saltwater crocodiles are the main attraction, and entry tickets cover a boat cruise through the park alongside access to scheduled wildlife presentations throughout the day. The cruise gives visitors close views of crocodiles in the water, including feeding behaviour and the characteristic crocodile roll, and the open boat format allows for birdwatching across the lagoon and surrounding wetlands.

Beyond the cruise, guests move through a walk-through aviary housing exotic birds, view koalas and wombats in dedicated enclosures, and observe snakes and other reptiles up close. Wildlife presentations run to a schedule and cover crocodile handling, feeding demonstrations, and native animal talks led by park staff. Hartley's sits within easy reach of Cairns attractions along the northern coastal highway, making it a practical addition to any itinerary based in the region. Tickets include park admission, the boat cruise, and all scheduled presentations; paid photo experiences with koalas, snakes, or reptiles are available on-site at an additional cost and are not included in the standard entry price.
