Matt was bloody funny with his commentating during the croc attack show. And the show was awesome too; I couldn’t believe Matt was standing in the water with Hagred (croc). But Matt also moved fast when he needed to!!

The staff were great, the Snake show and Croc Attack show were excellent, both presenters were knowledgeable and spoke so well. The park has a great atmosphere, the only negative was the lack of food stocked at the cafe.

Was an amazing day! Learnt soo much, the big croc feed was unreal! Couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide to answer my questions and show me around the park. Feeding the crocs was definitely an experience I’ll never forget!! Cheers Mario and the staff at hartleys for a great experience!

We loved the snake show and the croc show, both fun and informative. We also really enjoyed the boat trip although wished it could’ve been a little longer. I would recommend buying directly from Hartleys and getting an Uber as it would’ve been a much cheaper and quicker way of travel. The bus took a long time as there were so many pick ups and worked out more expensive than an Uber or cab

We had an unforgettable day at Hartley's. It all started with an awesome breakfast with a Koala named Daisy and a keeper called Ricki. Then a crocodile feeding experience lead by Mario a well experienced gentleman who was passionate and caring toward the animals providing us a new perspective of Crocodiles. Our boat tour was great with Kazu guiding our boat safely around the lagoon and in time for the tour on the farming side of the business. Greg was informative and provided a balanced view of commercial farming and the importance in sustainable practice not only in crocodile farming but as a society and the environmental challenges we face now and into the future. The croc attack show with Drew was the highlight of the day. His 40 min presentation was exciting and educational. We had a great day as a family and shared some unforgettable experiences being up close with these amazing creatures. The staff show passion and dedication and it shows in their exceptional delivery of customer focus.

We have been to Hartley’s quite a few times now, each visit has been faultless. Bringing our toddler for his very first visit, we couldn’t have asked for a better day. The entire facility is as immaculate as i have ever seen it, the wildlife as incredible, the staff as knowledgeable, friendly and respectful as ever. Flawless. Plan your day around the show times, we thoroughly enjoyed all of them! A particular note of acknowledgment to their efforts to create a hygienic, covid-safe experience for their guests without impacting whatsoever on our experience. We will be back again soon, probably in the next few weeks!
