RV TRAVEL
HARTLEY’S CROCODILE ADVENTURES
Hartley’s Crocodile Adventures (40km from
Cairns) gives visitors the chance to wander on
their own through a number of wildlife exhibits, as
well as the chance to learn about various animals
during feeding tours and crocodile shows.
The boat cruise in Hartley’s Lagoon will have
you staring down the gullet of an estuarine
crocodile from the safety of an enclosed craft.
Crocs are the main attraction, but a walk
through the Gondwana Gateway will bring
you to other reptiles, emus, quolls, wombats,
koalas (of course) and an up-close encounter
with kangaroos and wallabies.
The new Predatory Bird Aviary includes owls
and raptors; this is just past the cassowary
exhibit with a number of those magnificent
birds. On the Wildlife Discovery Trail there are
yet more ‘salties’, the more docile freshwater
crocodiles and the Tropical Walk-Through Aviary.
The guided Crocodile Farm tour provides
insight into the commercial aspect of the park:
estuarine crocodiles are raised here for their
meat and skins.
This is a good destination on a cloudy day,
and the scenic drive along Captain Cook
Highway is a bonus.
