An absolutely unforgettable experience! My partner was extremely nervous and anxious beforehand and barely slept the night before, but the instructor was incredible. He was calm, reassuring, and explained everything so clearly that her fears completely eased. The entire process was smooth and professionally run from start to finish. Stepping into the Cage of Death and coming face-to-face with a massive saltwater crocodile was simply mind-blowing. Seeing such a powerful prehistoric creature so close is something you may never experience anywhere else in your lifetime. Thrilling, safe, and truly once-in-a-lifetime. Highly recommended!

My Crocosaurus Cove and Cage of Death Experience was absolutely brilliant. The staff are super friendly, very informative and do a wonderful job. I was in absolute awe in The Cage of Death experience. To be that close with such an amazing, huge powerful animal and be able to observe him just doing his thing was very special.

A very special opportunity, the staff were amazing and I felt safe the whole time even with a croc only kept away from me by Perspex! Was excellent and once in a lifetime!
