Wildlife Habitat
This world-class wildlife sanctuary just off the Captain Cook Highway is divided into "immersion" wetland, rain forest, grassland, and savanna habitats, enabling close creature encounters with everything from koalas to cassowaries and crocs. The park shelters more than 180 species of native wildlife in its 8-acre expanse, including technicolor parrots, emus, kangaroos, echidnas, and reptiles. The exclusive breakfast with the birds dining experience, offered daily from 8 am to 9 am, is accompanied by avian residents so tame they'll perch on your shoulders—and may steal your food if you're distracted. Feeling brave? You can also book the Swim with the Salties experience to snorkel near estuarine crocodiles with only a sheet of Perspex separating you in the CrocArena. The nocturnal tour—a private two-hour after-hours tour—is also a special experience.
