The farm was established in the 1990s and has operated for over three decades.
Some of the saltwater crocodiles on-site are estimated to be over 100 years old.
The facility is integrated with the brackish water ecosystem of the nearby Johor River to mimic the natural environment of the crocodiles.
The site acts as a rescue and rehabilitation center for injured or displaced crocodiles found in local waterways.
The farm utilizes an incubation room where eggs are strictly monitored to ensure successful hatching rates.
Teluk Sengat Crocodile Farm is one of the oldest and largest crocodile farms in Malaysia, home to over 1,000 reptiles. The facility houses various species, most notably the saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus). Visitors can view specimens of all ages, ranging from hatchlings to large adults exceeding four meters in length. The farm features educational displays regarding the lifecycle and conservation of these crocodilians. It offers a unique culinary experience by providing exotic meat tastings. Guided walkways allow for close, yet safe, observation of the enclosures. The site is situated along the banks of the Johor River, utilizing the natural habitat of the region. It serves as both a tourist attraction and an active facility for crocodile breeding and research.
The raised wooden bridge that crosses over the main breeding pond provides the most direct overhead view of the adult crocodiles.
Wear comfortable, closed-toe walking shoes as the pathways can be uneven.
Carry mosquito repellent, as the humid, riverside environment attracts insects.
Bring a hat and sunglasses, as much of the viewing area is outdoors with limited shade.
Do not wear bright, flapping clothing that might distract or irritate the crocodiles; avoid visiting during heavy tropical downpours.
Open daily, including weekends and public holidays; check for potential closures during extreme weather events.
Do not lean over the railings or attempt to touch the animals; maintain silence to avoid agitating the reptiles.
