Hartley’s Creek Adventures Day Pass HCADP

Hartley’s Creek Adventures Day Pass

Hartley’s is famous for its exciting and educational wildlife presentations including crocodile shows, wetland wildlife, snake show, cassowary feeding, and koala feeding.

Situated on the magnificent coastal drive between the popular destinations of Palm Cove and Port Douglas, this attraction is a scenic 40-minute drive from Cairns. Cruise the still waters of Hartley’s Lagoon and experience the domain of the Saltwater Crocodile in its natural habitat. Nineteen crocs ranging in size from 2.5m to 5m cruise the waters, laze on the bank or build nests, interacting with each other just as they would in the wild. Great opportunity for bird watchers to spot Kingfishers, Egrets, etc. which choose to live around the lagoons. Watch professional, experienced keepers demonstrate the notorious death roll and head shake. See a huge crocodile hand-fed up close in our specially designed amphitheater. Discover the world’s most venomous snakes and learn how to administer first aid for snake bites. Koalas spend most of the day fast asleep. Come and share the excitement when they wake up for the afternoon feed at 4.30 pm. Feed time is your chance to watch them come alive when presented with fresh gum leaves.
