We had a great day out at Hartley's Crocodile Adventures. The staff were so welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable- you could really tell that they were happy to be there. There was so much more to do there than I realised, it can definitely fill in a day. Would definitely return again in the future!

Highlights of our visit was the stingray playing with the kids sliding through the curved aquarium floor. Also seeing these number of species were very awesome.

The whole event made me feel as though I was in Egypt With every inch of the rooms covered in Egyptian hyrogliphics made it amazing Even the air gave off the feeling you were actually in the tombs

I had a wonderful time at the Cairns Aquarium! The place is beautiful and full of amazing sea life. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful — their great attitude made the visit even better. I especially loved the Turtle Hospital! You can really see how much they love their work and how much they care for the animals. It’s so nice to see people helping and protecting marine life. Thank you for such a great experience!
