Cassius is getting a little old these days, but hes a character... The daily croc feeding is a must for my wife, the sheer power of these animals is scintillating. More

We visited Marineland Melanesia in January 2012. We did not see the crocodile feeding but just the displays. We felt the complex was tired and unmaintained and felt sympathy for the aminals in their small old enclosures. It is hard not to compare this attraction unfavorably against other more progressive nature zoos and parks. More

Thanks for your review of our attraction. We are happy to report that we are currently undertaking some renovations and updating of different areas within our crocodile park. As a family business with 40 years history at Green Island, we still want to maintain the character of Marineland; and this is what we will keep in mind as we progress... More

When we visited Green Island the weather wasn't brilliant and so our activities were severely limited and so we decided to got to Marineland Melanesia. The crocodile feeding show was very good and so were the other animals there such as the turtles and barramundi. Overall it was a good experience. More
