The Cage Of Death at Crocosaurus Cove

What better way to get the authentic Australian experience than to swim next to one of Australia’s most dangerous reptiles at Crocosaurus Cove?
Right in the heart of Darwin City, Crocosaurus Cove hosts a completely unique and thrilling Crocodile dive experience.
Housing almost 200 Saltwater crocodiles, some over 5 metres long, Crocosaurus Cove allows you to not only see their crocodiles from the safe viewing platform, but also share the water they swim in.
The Saltwater Crocodiles are also known to be one of the most dangerous reptiles in Australia, and so it is no wonder that they call this thrilling attraction the ‘Cage of Death’.

In a transparent cylinder cage, you are lowered into the reptile’s water enclosure, where the crocodile handlers will be regularly feeding the crocodiles, encouraging more activity and movement from the animals.
Get out of your comfort zone and experience this face-to-face encounter that has to be seen to be believed.
The Cage of Death is the only place in Australia that will allow you to get this close to the Crocodiles underwater, and you could be in the water with the beast for up to 15 minutes.
Whether you see it as exciting or terrifying, this really is a rare opportunity not to be missed. Pay only $250 to experience this with a friend or just $165 to go it alone; however you wish to do the Cage of Death, it is certainly for the brave.

But if the Cage of Death isn’t something you feel brave enough to dive into anytime soon, then Crocosaurus Cove has many more activities on offer.
Meet and interact with snakes, geckos and frogs at The Reptile Enclosure, see the Whipray and Barramundi in the Aquarium, or even get your photo taken with a baby croc!
Darwin itself boasts some of the planet’s most brilliant and tropical wildlife, but also many restaurants and classy bars. The Cage of Death is simply one of the many reasons to visit the cultural city of Darwin.
