Dice With Death At Crocosaurus Cove

Cage Dive at Croc Cove

For those of you who are feeling brave, then Crocosaurus Cove is a must whilst visiting Darwin. Crocosaurus Cove in the heart of Darwin city offers experiences unlike any other aquatic theme park in the world.

Crocosaurus Cove plays host to over 200 saltwater crocs, which you can view from the safety of a walk-around platform, hold in your own hands (we are only talking about the babies here obviously) and even swim with.

The Cage Of Death

The Cage Of Death presents a transparent cylinder that separates you from the giant saltwater crocs as you are lowered into their tank for an up close and personal encounter with the ancient beast during feeding time. But that is not all Crocosaurus Cove has to offer, it also boasts the world’s largest collection of Australian Reptiles some of which you can meet and hold in the ‘Meet The Reptiles’ attraction. From Geckos to Turtles there is a lot to learn about these scaly critters.

Swim With Crocs

If you’re not quite up to being only centimetres away from these prehistoric beasts or trapped in a perspex box, then have a dip in the ‘Swim with Crocs’ enclosure which borders onto the juvenile croc enclosure and lets you swim around freely (and safely of course). Just make sure you bring your swimmers!

Go Crocodile Fishing

Or you could do a spot of fishing in the juvenile enclosure with young crocs between the ages 2-3 years-old and are ecstatic about catching the meaty treats that you will be able to hang from the end of your line.

Afterwards you can even get your photo taken with one of the babies or spend some time in the turtle sanctuary where you can meet some of the most unique reptiles in the north end.

Whatever you decide to do make sure you visit whilst you’re in Darwin as a visit to Crocosaurus Cove is sure to get you a lot of likes on instagram!

Most activities are included in the admission fee which is just $35 for adults, but if you want to get the full experience and hop in the ‘Cage of Death’ prices start at just $125pp including entry fee.
