2.Hartley’s Crocodile Adventures Park Entry

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 301 reviews · 1 day · from $33Best value

Spend 3 to 4 hours or a full day at Hartley’s Crocodile Adventures, about an hour north of Cairns. Your visit includes the lagoon boat cruise, crocodile attack show, snake presentation, farm tour, wildlife exhibits, and 2,500 metres of paths. Guides such as Jai bring plenty of humour and useful detail to the day.

“I really enjoyed visiting Hartley’s. Having never seen a crocodile it was exciting to see so many, and some really big ones. The guides were knowledgeable and entertaining, clearly very passionate about the important role of education. I recommend this to anyone passing through, but I’d even say it’s worth making a trip for it. The food is reasonably priced and better than you’d expect. It’s a great day out for all ages.”

6.Kuranda & Hartley’s Crocodile Adventures

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 50 reviews · 1 day · from $195

Travel from Cairns by Kuranda Scenic Rail, with reserved seating and time to browse Kuranda before taking Skyrail over the rainforest. A coach then carries you to Hartley’s Crocodile Adventures for the wetlands cruise, crocodile attack show, snake show, and return trip to Cairns. The day is busy but covers three major North Queensland sights.

“Trip was lovely! Didnt have a ton of time to explore Kuranda (the city), but the train and gondola were peaceful and enjoyable. The highlight was definitely Hartley’s! We visited in the summer (February) so there were very very few people at the park, which made it easy to walk around and see everything we wanted to. The boat tour was awesome and the crocodile attack show was very unique! Felt like we had enough time here. Our driver (Rick?) was fantastic, told awesome stories during the drives and was very clear with the instructions for each part of the day.”
