"Great place to see some crocodiles koalas wombats and plenty of other animals"
"The fact that this thing exists is mind-boggling. They built this enclosure all themselves to mimic that of an actual crocodile habitat. When you’re going down on the boat ride through it, it feels like a real, legitimate environment. All the boat drivers are really informative And funny. I would highly recommend this adventure, it’s even better than you could imagine."
"This is definitely a place you must visit when you come to Cairns. Great for everyone, the kids will definitely have something to talk about for the rest of the trip. The crocodile handlers and snake handlers were very professional and were very informative with a great sense of humour, putting on an awesome show and making us all laugh while teaching us to respect this magnificent creatures! We were a family of 9 who visited Hartley's and loved every minute of being there."
