Our tour bus driver was wonderful! Made us all chat with each other by asking everyone questions about themselves, give good laughs and was very knowledgeable on everything we asked!

The tour bus picks up you up, and the driver gives you an English tour while you are traveling to the park. A half day at the park was enough to see all the attractions, and it was great for families. Enjoyed the trip and the ride back to the hotel! Highly recommended especially for parents with little ones.

It was my first time in cairns, the first thing I needed to do there was go to the aquarium!! I absolutely loved it and it blew my mind! The stingrays was the best things I have ever seen up close! What else was mind blowing was the freshwater moray eels! I'll never forget that place!

I have incredible childhood memories from visiting Hartley's Creek (50 years ago) and it was incredible to revisit and add to these memories! Did NOT disappoint!!!

Hartley's Crocodile Adventures, located north of Cairns, is the best spot in tropical north Queensland to see crocodiles and other Australian wildlife. Once you are on board, sit back, relax and enjoy the scenery as you drive through the Captain Cook Highway to the attraction. Along the route, our driver will entertain you with insights about the park.

Begin your experience with a boat ride through the Melaleuca wetlands, which is home to saltwater crocodiles. Every day, there are fascinating and instructive wildlife shows for you to enjoy. See the infamous "death roll" and "head shake" of the saltwater crocodile at the Crocodile Attack Show, and meet some of the most venomous snakes at the Snake Show. Between shows, stroll through the timber boardwalks and trails to witness a variety of reptiles, tropical birds, and other species including the Komodo Dragon, wallabies, and koalas. Indulge in lunch or snacks at the in-house cafe (at your own expense) to sate your appetites after exploration.

Return to your accommodation after a wonderful afternoon spent in the company of Hartley's remarkable wildlife.
