Cage of death was awesome. We are repeat customers. First time August 2019 and again 30/6/2024. Our crocodile was Leo. He is amazing.
Bucket list done! Best experience ever..my man didn't want to at first .. after an hour of being there I was second guessing my choice! In the end I'm so glad we done it together, we would bith do it again with the kiddies definitely!!!
The employees made me feel calm and comfortable before heading into the cage of death and was extremely thorough with their policies and procedures. I would 100000% do it again and recommend everyone to do this amazing experience!

Never meet a crocodile didn't know the size of one either
Loved how quickly and fun the crocodile photos were and the cloud drop option was amazing. Animal enclosures clean and well kept. Would have LOVED misting machines to keep cooler in some area up top.
Absolutely amazing day!! Totally loved it, and Carlos was a brilliant, brilliant guide. 100% worth doing the VIP tour.
Tayla was a wonderful tour guide. We were the only 2 in the group so we got very special treatment. We enjoyed feeding Wendell and the baby crocs. We also absolutely fell in love with Nacho in the reptile enclosure.
I was in Darwin for a limited amount of time. The visit to Crocosaurus Zoo was the perfect way to spend the afternoon. It is conveniently located and easy to get to. There was several huge salt water crocs to see. I had no idea they were so big. Many smaller crocs were in the zoo also. There was plenty of interesting educational material throughout the zoo. I recommend Crocosaurus Zoo as a must see when in Darwin.
Everyone was so friendly. VIP experience and croc cage were lots of fun!
We had the best experience. My husband went in the Cage Of Death an he LOVED the experience. The staff were so helpful and it will be memories we will keep forever. Thank you so much ❤️

My family and I absolutely loved it had 2 grand neices from NZ great memories to take home our guide was awesome except for the weather but that couldn't be helped 👍
We had so much fun as a family on the VIP tour! Great day out
Out guide was Enno. He was a fantastic guide who provided heaps of information. We were the only ones in the group so felt very VIP. The cost included patting and holding a juvenile croc, feeding smaller crocs and a big boy! Finished off with a cuddle with a python. We were able to take our own photos throughout. 100% recommend, Value for Money 💰
Our guide was Skye and she was amazing. So knowledgeable and friendly. We absolutely loved this experience and would highly recommend it to any croc fan.
Fabulous VIP tour. Not too expensive for the private tour and well worth it to beable to hold a baby crocodile, feed a big one.
Guide was a lovely girl, just feel that this wasn't her strong suit. Was very softly spoken, needed more knowledge around the repites as there really wasn't any informative information given. We had to really guide ourselves. Had to wait around 10- 15 minutes until someone brought out a croc to hold. In this time left to our selves to explore, not what a guided tour is about.
The Big Croc Feed VIP Experience at Crocosaurus Cove was amazing, it was really cool to go behind the scenes to see how crocodiles live and act in captivity. The feeding experience was really fun and getting the experience of holding crocodiles and snakes.
My husband and myself had a great VIP experience , we got up close to some of the rarest animals it was fantastic, our guide was very knowledgable about all the species was a great moning.
VIP tour with Tiffany- she was engaging and entertaining besides very informative.
Just loved the VIP tour, our tour lady was very informative, cuddling a crocodile was so cool.
Our tour guide was amazing, so informative and so much fun. What a great day we had thank you.
Great experience. Staff are very knowledgeable about the animals and this is definately more than just feed a few cocs.

HOHO was great in Darwin. On time, friendly safe drivers and 48 hour ticket plus two excellent inclusions was great value.
The email had a QR code which had to be printed out! Usually a venue can scan the code as proof of purchase but not yours we had to wait until the operator of the venue looked into this and then had to wait for the bus to return for the driver to print a ticket so wasting almost an hour of our trip, very disappointing
When I entered the bus the drive was very rude and said my ticket on my phone was not good enough and I was told I couldn't get on to which I just got on as I had tickets, Then I asked what stop Was the Cyclone Tracy museum to which he told me the wrong stop and to go back around to the correct stop it would have taken to long and I wouldn't of had enough time to see it and make it back to the cruise ship. Also when I was booking the ticket for the hoho bus I was told there was only ticket left that we had to purchase the Crocoseum which I was not really interested in but purchased 3 tickets so we had tickets for the bus. But when we got on the bus everyone was purchasing a $24.00 ticket for the bus for day which I paid $79.00 each which I think was very over the top. Maybe make sure the bus drivers are aware of what is at each stop so when asked they can give the person correct info. The drivers were also rude to the passengers saying I'm full you can't get on and telling the ones that got on if there was no seats to get off or pay a fine.
Crocodaurus was good although the hop on hop off didn't run on Tuesday which was the day we booked. There was no where on site that indicated that
Gave a great overview of the City, and was easy to use to see major attractions. The staff were terrific and very helpful. The buses were of a high standard.
Ticketing was a bit of a pain. We had to restart the ticketing, 3 times. I wish we'd realized that we could buy tickets there. Also the stop with the casino/gardens is really spread out. Would be nicer to have a couple of drop zones along there.
Darwin Big Bus 24-Hr Hop-On Hop-Off was great good information easy to travel around. Crocosaurus Cove was great loved it :-)
The friendly staff at Crocosaurus made it easy to get tickets validated for the Big Bus as well. The tour of the city was a full day event with highlights of Museum and Art Gallery of NT and Darwin Military Museum at Eastpoint. The next day Crocosuarus was lots of fun as we watched these monsters feeding and wandered the corridors of reptiles.
The first driver we had was exceptionally friendly and helpful. What a pity you don't operate on Sundays.
easy tickets friendly driver discounts on tickets
Good information, easy to use, great drivers overall we had a great time
