Insider tips

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.

What to avoid

Do not wear bright, flapping clothing that might distract or irritate the crocodiles; avoid visiting during heavy tropical downpours.

Good to know

Open daily, including weekends and public holidays; check for potential closures during extreme weather events.

Etiquette

Do not lean over the railings or attempt to touch the animals; maintain silence to avoid agitating the reptiles.
