Hartley's Crocodile Adventures

Hartley's Crocodile Adventures is a wildlife park on the Captain Cook Highway at Wangetti, between Cairns and Port Douglas in Queensland. Established in 1934 and developed into a crocodile-focused attraction, it is known for its large collection of saltwater and freshwater crocodiles. The park combines wildlife shows, lagoon cruises and native animal exhibits within natural melaleuca wetlands and woodlands, offering an educational experience focused on crocodile conservation and North Queensland wildlife.

Visitors can expect a large open-air wildlife park set in natural wetlands and woodland on the coast between Cairns and Port Douglas. The park features crocodile lagoons, a lagoon cruise on Hartley's Lagoon, daily crocodile attack and feeding shows, snake and cassowary presentations, and exhibits of koalas, wallabies, wombats, quolls and native birds. Boardwalks, shaded viewing areas and an interpretive centre allow close but safe viewing of crocodiles and other Australian wildlife.
