My boyfriend and I were hesitating to come here because we had already visited another wildlife park during this trip. But we decided to go anyway, and we had absolutely no regrets! What a beautiful park. They treat the animals really well, the information shared during the shows is very interesting, and everything looks well maintained. Definitely a must-visit (and if you’re still doubting, consi...

Hartley’s Crocodile Farm is such a fun day out, something we always recommend to travelers visiting Cairns or Australia. The whole park is very relaxed for you to wonder around at your own pace.

Harley’s Croc Adv was out of this world. One of the most amazing and exciting places we’ve visited as a family. The shows are so amazing and a must do for all kids as well. It teaches you so much. And guys who do the show are Brady and informative as well. In face I strongly believe it should be a must do for all kids. If you’re in Australia you must visit this place.

Great experience with a lot of things to see. Not only crocs, but also snakes, koalas and a lot more! Loved the snake and croc shows. Super crowded on school holidays. 6 sits in a row on the boat, so if you are placed last you are likely to be far away from the action behind people trying to film. Expect queues everywhere and maybe skip one with BYO lunch.

I have t...
Visiting in spring (Sept–Nov) or autumn (Mar–May) offers cooler mornings and smaller crowds. In wet season (Nov–Apr), bring a raincoat and insect repellent.
