5.00This was a wonderful up close experience with many of the Australian animals. The crocodile farm was also very interesting. The environment was very nice with enough to see to take up a few hours, but not overwhelmingly large. We got to see everything.
Crocs.

3.00It is an experience that almost exclusively concerns crocodiles. It lasts about 4 hours and the show with the crocodiles is repeated 2 times in the morning. The price in my opinion is too high and the experience is short and restorative. Recommended only if you have not seen crocodiles in other sites.
FUN DAY, LOTS TO SEE AND LEARN.

5.00We arrived at 12.30 pm so had plenty of time to discover the crocodile farm. There was an informative talk about the crocodiles, you get to learn alot about the species, the farming practice and the history. The boat ride on the lake to view crocodiles up close was fun. They fed them so we could see the crocs up close and in action. There are plenty of other animals to see up close. The grounds are kept well, with good signage for the walks and discovery. There is a great cafe and seating area, plus a gift shop that sells many interesting soveniers. Lots of parking is available if you drive in.
Great place to visit

4.00Really great experience going to Hartley’s with transfers included. When we arrived we went walking along the trail to see all the crocodiles and more, but ran out of time as we wanted to see the snake show, then stayed on for the crocodile attack show. These were both really interesting, but we had to leave the crocodile show to get to our boat ride. The boat ride was really good, and they teased the crocodiles with meat on both sides do everyone got a view. When we got off the boat, we only had about half an hour to go back and see as much of the animals we missed as we could, before it would be time to get our bus back to our hotel. The biggest problem was the transfers, while convenient, gave us just over 3 1/2 hours at the venue, which really wasn’t enough time to see and do everything available. It would be great if we could have had about five hours at the location.
Fun tour

5.00The day tour was really good and the timing worked out well for us to see the croc show, the boat ride and still see the park. Lots of animals to see. It is really good for those that don’t want to bother with a car.
Great adventure!
