My Crocosaurus Cove and Cage of Death Experience was absolutely brilliant. The staff are super friendly, very informative and do a wonderful job. I was in absolute awe in The Cage of Death experience. To be that close with such an amazing, huge powerful animal and be able to observe him just doing his thing was very special.

An absolutely unforgettable experience! My partner was extremely nervous and anxious beforehand and barely slept the night before, but the instructor was incredible. He was calm, reassuring, and explained everything so clearly that her fears completely eased. The entire process was smooth and professionally run from start to finish. Stepping into the Cage of Death and coming face-to-face with a massive saltwater crocodile was simply mind-blowing. Seeing such a powerful prehistoric creature so close is something you may never experience anywhere else in your lifetime. Thrilling, safe, and truly once-in-a-lifetime. Highly recommended!

Loved it! There were no crowds, and the experience felt really up close and personal. The highlight was watching the crocodiles being fed and just how close you are to the experience . We also enjoyed the hands on experiences with the snakes and lizards. We spent about two hours exploring, watching, learning, and taking snack breaks in between, with a café conveniently available on site.
