Dine in the Wetlands and enjoy the world-famous Breakfast with the Birds which now also includes koala feeding. Observe numerous native birds in the Woodlands Habitat. Explore the Rainforest Habitat, from the forest floor to the canopy, and marvel at the Southern Cassowary and other captivating creatures. In the Savannah Habitat, hand-feed kangaroos and wallabies while admiring emus and the Lumholtz's Tree Kangaroo. Discover after-dark mysteries in the Nocturnal Habitat and encounter elusive species like Striped Possums, Bettongs, and Mahogany Gliders. Witness the might of Estuarine Crocodiles from the grandstand or embark on the unparalleled Swim with The Salties experience in CrocArena where you can swim eye-to-eye with these apex predators in a 180-degree pool. Enhance your visit further by joining a guided tour led by experienced Wildlife Keepers or create a lasting memory with a koala or reptile souvenir photograph. Wildlife Habitat Port Douglas not only offers extraordinary encounters but also aims to inspire visitors to appreciate and contribute to wildlife conservation.
