#0yentrip Hartley's Zoo is a zoo located about 45 minutes by car from Cairns. This zoo is famous for its crocodiles🐊, but it's actually a theme park that animal lovers must visit, where you can experience various zoos unique to Australia🇦🇺! ・Recommendation 1 When you think of Australia, you think of koalas🐨 Although there are places in Cairns where you can take pictures holding them, there are not many places where you can touch them leisurely... However, at Hartley's Zoo, they are holding an event where you can eat breakfast with a koala and even stroke them directly! ! ・Recommendation 2 Kangaroos are also a symbol of Australia🦘 At Hartley's Zoo, many kangaroos are allowed to roam freely in the kangaroo breeding area, and you can feed them, stroke them, and take pictures as much as you like! ・Recommendation 3 Of course, the observation of crocodiles🐊 is also on a whole different level! Take a boat and go on a river cruise filled with crocodiles, where you can see the impressive crocodiles jumping to feed them! It's like a real jungle cruise! Hartley's Zoo, where you can interact with cute animals and observe impressive crocodiles, is an essential spot for a trip to Cairns that can be enjoyed by girls, boys, animal-loving adults, and people of all ages and genders! #Australia #Cairns #Hartley's Zoo #Zoo

#australiatrip Had the most fantastic day at the crocodile farm. Beaming with animal life and run by friendly knowledgeable staff. Really enjoyed the boat ride round the lagoon and also the different information talks throughout the day. Spent a while day there and really enjoyed our day. Also the tickets purchased can be extended for another two days which is great if you have kids. Highly recommend it.

Australia's Cairns, aside from the famous Great Barrier Reef, rainforest exploration is another way to experience the wonders. I've organized a one-day rainforest itinerary, delving into nature, weaving through the primal forest, and embarking on an adventure journey~ c2a7 Mossman Gorge Centre c2b1 c2a7 Led by the indigenous 'Kuku Yalanji' people into the ancient rainforest, a one-hour hike, with explanations and demonstrations along the way, exploring how to extract paints, soaps, musical instruments, etc., from the jungle. Before entering the rainforest, there is a smoking ceremony, which is said to blend the smoke scent into the rainforest life without harm, including mosquito repellent effects~ c2a7 Silky Oaks Lodge c2b1 c2a7 Secluded treehouses hidden in the rainforest, the environment is too ethereal, with all entertainment facilities available. If not staying overnight, you can also enjoy lunch here, a satisfying meal in Cairns! c2a7 Hartleys Crocodile adventure c2b1 c2a7 You can watch crocodile feeding from the viewing area or by boat, which is thrilling but safe, so rest assured. You can also get up close and personal with koalas and brush turkeys~ c2a7 NUNU Restaurant c2b1 c2a7 After a tiring day, head to the Palm Cove seaside restaurant for dinner, this creative cuisine is quite suitable for the Chinese palate. This day's itinerary is also great for family trips, where kids can learn a lot about wildlife. Also, remember to wear comfortable hiking shoes, and spray on some mosquito repellent~ Cairns, Queensland

The admission fee for Hartley's Crocodile Adventures is A$43 per person, but the admission + koala and breakfast package is A$70 per person. Reservations must be made by 4:00 p.m. the day before. While having breakfast, you can get up close and personal with the koalas, touch them and take photos with them. There is an area that is only accessible to those who have booked the breakfast plan, where you can take photos with the koalas and even touch their backs. After breakfast with the koalas, you can take a boat cruise, which is included in the admission fee, and watch the captain feed the crocodiles with food attached to a stick. In addition to the many crocodiles and reptiles, you can also meet Australian native animals such as koalas, wombats, kangaroos and wallabies!
