Experience the ultimate face-to-face encounter as you are carefully lowered in to the water with a large saltwater crocodile for 15 minutes. Take in his intimidating gaze, feel the sheer power of his 3 tonne bite force, and learn to appreciate his true strength and resilience as a modern-day dinosaur.
The Cage of Death activity offers swimmers the opportunity to get up close and personal with our saltwater crocodiles in a controlled environment that is safe and enriching for both the crocodile and the visitor. Regular feeding throughout the experience is done in a way that encourages the crocodile’s natural instincts, giving swimmers the opportunity to witness our saltie’s infamous bite force under the supervision of trained handlers.
Don’t miss out on this enriching one-of-a-kind experience!

The staff are friendly and helpful.
We learnt so much about not only crocodiles, but reptiles and marine animals as well.
and then we did the unique experience of being in the same enclosure as a crocodile, an experience we will never forget. We were lucky enough to order the photographer so we can take the experience home with us.








Will definitely return.
I would have loved to hear more about the conservation efforts the organisation is undertaking, there was a noticeable absence of this material.


In the heart of Darwin City this place is a must visit! I still cannot believe that there are so many huge crocodiles in the city centre.. blew my mind!
We got to hold a baby crocodile, a snake, and a blue tongue. There were people swimming with the crocodile in the “Cage of Death”, there are turtles, fish, whiprays, so many reptiles, frogs and not to mention probably hundreds of crocodiles! There is even a swimming pool and a ‘fishing’ platform where you can feed the small crocodiles.
All the staff were super friendly and so knowledgeable. The place is really educational, from all the signage to the presentations and it is well worth the money.
We spent a few hours in here but could easily have spent longer!
Would recommend 100% and hope to visit again one day!

The place was run down and even the main 2.30 show was marred by a microphone that only worked some of the time
I was seriously bored but stuck it out as it cost 80 bucks
I would not be surprised if it closes



For an additional fee you can go into the croc tank.
Good option for a few hours in Darwin.

We also had an amazing experience holding young Phillip the baby croc ????
All staff were extremely knowledgeable and the price $40 for entry seemed reasonable




The staff are knowledgeable and passionate, ensuring everyone has a great time while educating visitors about crocodile conservation.
Whether you're watching them glide through the water or witnessing a feeding frenzy, it's an unforgettable experience. Crocosaurus Cove is a must-visit when in Darwin – where else can you come face-to-face with the largest reptiles on earth?



We particularly loved the reptile exhibit, and the meet the reptile show.




It has big, old croc's, whose stories are much enlivened if you do one of the many, regular, short guided tours. (Make sure to ask about the croc couple, Will & Kate.) There’s also a snake & lizard exhibition that’s well worth doing – and it’s air-conditioned :-) Also a giant fish tank with lots of interesting critters swimming around each other.
Want to hold a small croc? No problem, go to the photography area on the 1st floor in the Reptile House. (Incidentally, that photographer is fun to watch as he deals with the shy & the scared, people trying to clown around, people he effortlessly teaches to do interesting poses for the photo’s, & all while the croc’s are trying to wiggle while being held. Despite everything going on, he produces absolutely terrific pic’s that are amazing & memorable. Top points for photographic competence & for dealing super nicely with people.)
There are un-air-conditioned food options in-house on the first floor, & outside on the ground floor, but there’s an air-conditioned pub opposite with kids’ food & there are other air-conditioned food places very close by that are cooler, so attracted us.






The staff will make you feel very comfortable and I felt completely safe.





Also the young lady that walked us around was very friendly and knowledgeable




The other attractions are worth 1hr before or after.
If in Darwin must do.






I highly recommend the VIP tour to get up close and personal with many of the local residents. The guide was awesome and very knowledgeable.
Do the photo packages. They are professional standard and worth every cent. Your iPhone or Pixel is not going to take the same quality pics. We compared ours and the pro out did our phones every time.
The crocs were amazing, the reptile display was pretty awesome and the staff were all really friendly. If you are in Darwin for any amount of time, this place is a must do.

All staff were super lovely and helpful. Especially loved the lady doing the reptile feeding. She was awesome and so knowledgeable!
The big crocs are absolutely massive and it's so awesome being able to see them under water as well. Most other croc attractions we've been to have been in very murky water, so it was so cool being able to see them in the water.
Reptile house was also awesome, lots of great lizards, snakes and frogs to have a look at and all seemed relatively happy
The big fish tank was a little disappointing just because it was so dark we could barely see into it, but I guess that's stimulating the natural environment so ????♀️
I was excited for the little croc feeding but i believe that area was closed. Also the upper floor with a sign that said "crocs and turtles" was closed too. I would have thought perhaps with a few attractions closed maybe entry should be a bit cheaper to accommodate

We booked the VIP Tour, given lots of information, held small crocodile & snake ( grandsons impressed)
Facility clean, place to eat & good souvenirs to purchase
Wish I had ‘swam with a crocodile’ but being on the older side & bad knees i gave it a miss????

Meeting Leo up close was amazing, what a beautiful animal! A once in a life time experience!


Not just Crocodiles, as they have a large display of real snakes, lizards, turtles, fish etc.
You can get a photo taken with a small croc
Cafe on site as well.
If you want to do the "Cage of Death" with the big Crocs, make sure you book ahead.
