Darwin Wildlife

At Crocosaurus Cove you will have the opportunity to enter the Cage of Death and swim with some of Australia’s largest saltwater crocodiles!

This unique experience gives you the chance to come face-to-face with a giant Saltwater Crocodile in the safety of a purpose-built transparent cage. Photographs of your experience will be available to purchase.

There is plenty to do at the park if you prefer not to enter the water. See the daily barramundi feeding, explore the world’s largest display of Australian reptiles, or fish for crocs!

Venture down to the Crocodylus Park & Zoo, located 20 mins from Darwin and just 5 minutes from the Airport.

Overlooking the Holmes Jungle Nature Reserve the park is home to over 10,000 crocodiles, from hatchlings just 30cm to 5m adult crocs weighing over half a ton!

Observe jumping crocodiles, visit the world class Crocodile Museum, see other native animals, be part of the daily fish feeding, and get the chance to hold a baby Crocodile!

Experience the highlights of Darwin Harbour’s magnificent underwater world without leaving land at Darwin’s longest established marine exhibition centre. Indo Pacific Marine allows visitors to learn about Queensland’s unique marine ecosystems without any environmental impact. See the beauty and diversity of live coral reefs that have been designed to function independently as they would in their natural environment.

Join an educational and inspiring day tour of the fully self-dependant living reefs and soak in the beauty of this naturally occurring phenomenon without getting your feet wet. Discover some of the amazing marine animals that call this volatile environment home including sea horses, clown fish and butterfly fish, and learn how to help sustain the biodiversity of our precious reefs.

Visit the spectacular reef by night and indulge in a delicious seafood dinner in a coastal garden setting overlooking Darwin Harbour. Using a torch provided by the tour guide you will have the opportunity to observe the nocturnal world of the living reef at night. Once the lights are turned off you will see corals spawning or fluorescing in a spectacular display of light, and be able to observe minute organisms operating just as they would out in the ocean.
