About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Man C0 contributionsGood Half day excursionExcellent outing watching and learning of crocodiles, birds and snakes. Pickup and organising was excellent and on time. A must do in Cairns.Written June 18, 2024
- neilthomasthomas80 contributionsHartley's Crocodile Adventure...An Unforgetable ExperienceWe booked a "Breakfast With Koalas" & enjoyed being able to pat Rosie, a 4 year old female Koala who was very calm & affectionate! An amazing experience! We then took a boat trip around a lagoon while watching the guide feed some of the huge crocodiles! It was fascinating to watch these huge crocodiles surrounding our boat & jumping out of the water to grab a chicken that the guide had dangling on a pole! Their jaws are so powerful that they sound like a gunshot when they snap their jaws! Aidan, our boat operator & crocodile expert was very informative & gave a great crocodile tour! When visiting Cairns, don't miss visiting Hartley's Crocodile Adventure! So much to see here!Written March 13, 2024
- Viviana R0 contributionsExcellent planGreat plan and experience to see crocodiles close to you. Amazing facilities and activities. It is a wonderful place to visit with family or friendsWritten December 14, 2023
- Steve L0 contributionsUp close and personal with some crocsWow. I have never been so close to saltwater crocodiles. I felt very safe and the guide was very funny and educational. He knew the area very well and shared a lot with us.Written November 9, 2023
- 738kayes0 contributionsHighly recommendWe thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast with the koala and everything that Hartleys has to offer. I can't recommend Jay enough from Beaches Meet and Greet, who ensured that we could fit this tour in as a last minute booking. We were picked up and our bags looked after while we enjoyed the park and then dropped at the airport just in time for our flight which was very much appreciated.Written September 30, 2023
- Z5594TKmartinav0 contributionsAmazing experienceExcellent park. The variety of animals was amazing. Eating a nice breakfast right beside a Koala was totally worth it. Highly recommend the tripWritten September 30, 2023
- abbyj3970 contributionsIt was okay..We chose this experience as we had an international guest with us and thought it would be a bit of fun for her. Firstly, the breakfast is pretty small. While there is a good variety, you get a small serving of each option (small egg, 1 tomato, 1 hashbrown etc) and there is no seconds. If I had known, I would have got my kids to have breakfast beforehand as by the time got up early and drive an hour they were all hungry again! Secondly, they bring a koala out for the 2nd half of the breakfast and each table gets a pat and you can take a photo if you want. It is quite rushed due to the amount of tables the have to get through. The park was definitely worth a visit, I am just writing a review as I wished I knew this before I booked because we would have skipped the breakfast part had I known about this.Written September 13, 2023
- royvQ962IA0 contributionsHartleyThe view was amazing and astonishing I would highly recommend especially the 3pm croc show just overall amazingWritten July 2, 2023
- cheryla4770 contributionsLoved breakfast at Hartley's with Violet the koala!Such a special experience getting to have breakfast with Violet, the Koala. We enjoyed fresh fruit, coffee and a full breakfast with eggs, toast, potatoes and breakfast meats. We were able to learn about how her rump looks like clouds to camouflage her from the ground when up in a tree, got to pet her and see her sweet sleepy munching on eucalyptus leaves and it felt small and calm and personal. Loved learning about these beautiful animals while enjoying a wonderful breakfast in a very unusual setting. Highly recommend this!Written June 9, 2023
- MarilynB19560 contributionsHartley's Crocodile Amazing ExperienceThe bus company were very good.. They picked us up at our accommodation and dropped us back there in afternoon. Gave a good commentary of local interests as we went out along the road to Hartley's. Arranged our tickets and tours for the Hartley's experience.Written May 5, 2023
- sk8888880 contributionsExperience of a lifetime!Sorry I didn't review this sooner; I had to pay for two people (the reservation would not let me book for just one) but I gladly paid for two just to experience being with Koalas! The breakfast was fine, the grounds were lovely and held my interest during the morning I was there, and holding a Koala (extra cost) for a picture - priceless!Written March 24, 2023
- Paul B0 contributionsGreat experienceEnjoyed all experiences, especially the crock attack show and boat trip around the lagoon. Would recommend it to anyone travelling to CairnsWritten February 22, 2023
- Glen5042160 contributionsAmazing place doing amazing work!Following the pandemic "Breakfast with the koalas" was not availble to us on the day we could visit. However we upgraded to "Hartley's Gold" and we were not disappointed. On arrival we were directed to the boat cruise but asked to return by 1100 (we had got there at 1000). The boat cruise to see the Crocodiles was excellent - full of information and sights of crocodiles big and small. Also a lot about the history of the Park and how this was protecting Crocodiles by protecting them from persecution. Back at the main entrance we were met by a lovely keeper (originally from Melbourne) who gave us a personal tour of the Park going behind the scenes as well. Very interesting and if she didn't know the answer she went and found out. Some real highlights were the squirrel gliders, the frogmouth owl that looked like wood, feeding the huge crocodiles and of course the Koalas. We were fortunate enough to have a picture taken with them. Amazing place doing amazing things!Written December 29, 2022
- Cory U0 contributionsBest way to see lots of Cairns wildlife quicklyA great half day experience to get up and close with Hartleys crocodiles, take a quick cruise on the lake and see plenty of other wildlife. Make sure you get to the kitchen early as it closes well before the park does.Written October 8, 2022
- C1252BWamandac0 contributionsGreat day out! The staff are really fun and very knowledgeable making the shows fun and entertaining!Great fun day out! Plenty of crocs to see and the boat cruise was awesome. Staff were friendly and helpful with a great sense of humour. Cafe was reasonably priced and the food was good.Written August 7, 2022

Roy was such a lovely man! He greeted us (early) at Peppers Palm Cove and waited for us whilst we got our family of 5 organised to head to Hartleys! He gave us great insight into the day and was knowledgeable about all things Cairns & adventures. We tried to tip Roy at the end and he told us “no need, I’m happy if you’re happy” - seriously.. could he get any nicer?
The bus was super clean, comfy and safe! Highly recommend this service. So easy, and great service! Hartleys was fab too.

Picked up by Anna from Beaches meet and greet. Such a lovely lady - great knowledge of the area she shared with us on our way. Gave us a map with times of shows which helped and explained it when we arrived.
Day at Hartleys was awesome, so interesting and fun. Croc boat ride, croc farm talk and croc attack shows all a must see. Food at restaurant ok - probably take food next time and just grab an ice cream there.
Anna picked us up and took us back to the hotel at the end of the day. A very safe driver who clearly knows and loves the area.
I highly recommend using beaches meet and Greet when you are in the area.
Please send our thanks to Anna, we left a letter and small gift for her at the information centre and hope she got it. V

This place is a must if you want to witness large crocs in their natural habitat jumping for food, fighting to be fed and trying to catch one of the Hartley’s local croc dudes unawares ....
way better than croc show at Australia Zoo ...
Your entry fee allows you to return for free in the next 2 days aswell - great value.

We want to do this tour on our last day - we are staying in palm cove and have flight back home at 4pm - can we get taken to park mid morning with our bags and then picked up at 3pm afterwards and taken to airport ?
