Breakfast with the Koalas at Hartley's Crocodile Park from Cairns or Palm Cove

This was so much fun! We were able to sit right by sweet old man Buster, the koala, during our whole meal. Then, we were able to pet his back and watch him as he got really sleepy. It was absolutely amazing to see him so up close. Breakfast was standard fare - it was good and the servings were huge! All of the staff were friendly and helpful.

Everything about the Hartley's excursion was fabulous. The transport came at the set time, there was good communication before the excursion. Harry's offers a number of other great experiences as well. We were able to email Hartley's and arrange a schedule of extras we wanted to do plus the things included in the ticket that interested us. When we arrived, our driver had a nap marking the location of each thing, the time and the needed tickets. The koala keeper at the breakfast was very friendly offering all sorts of interesting information and answering our questions. If you are really into the Australian animals, consider the Magic Mammals experience! It was unbelievable! We fed and/or patted patted wombats, quolls, kangaroos, wallabies, squirrel gliders and was able to hold a koala. we also did a meet and greet with the komodo dragon, the boat ride and walked pretty much the whole park. We didn't do the croc farm tour because we will see crocodiles again in Darwin. Besides the provided photo holding the koala, we were able to get as many photos with our own cell phones as we wanted.

Loved every minute of this experience, although holding the little guy would have been a bonus. There was another area in the park to hold a koala but it was limited to twice a day and for a very limited amount of time. I was so excited to meet Beau and learn about him form his handler that I barely ate the breakfast, which was abundant. The handler was very knowledgeable. My hubby and I had the table for 2 right in front of the little guy. There were several other guests there for the breakfast as well but our time was later and so when they all left we had exclusive time which made for great photos.

Breakfast with the koalas was a wonderful, intimate experience with knowledgeable staff and a wonderful full breakfast. Harltey's Crocodile Park is a more intimate environment to see and learn about Australian animals than other parks we visited.

Great tour! The transportation to/from the park was excellent with great narrative by the driver. At the park we were met by a guide and shown to our breakfast. The food was nothing special, but was good. We sat over looking the Crocs in the water and had a Koala hanging in a display right next to us. We were allowed to pet the Koala. Later for an extra fee, my wife was allowed to hold a Koala and have her picture taken. Then took a cruise around the lake in a caged in boat. Many Crocs around the boat that would lunge out if the water to grab food offered by the skipper. The skipper was extremely knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. From here we went to see the feeding of the Crocs and then got to help feed the freshwater Crocs. This is a wonderful and well run park. I highly recommend.

I loved this trip! When we arrived, the breakfast had been pretty well picked over. So we didn't get very much nice fruit. But my mom said it was one of the best breakfasts she had ever eaten. I wasn't as impressed. The koala is held by the trainer for 30 minutes during your private breakfast. It's pretty special and you can pet him, take a photo next to him, and ask questions of the handler. After you finish breakfast, you get to hold the koala and get a photo and THAT was super cool. They give you a big 8x10 photo worth 20. After that you get to wander the park - which is super cool. The locals are obsessed with the crocs so if you want to see other things, it's not difficult. : We had a great time and certainly highly recommend the tour. Breakfast could be improved - but I think we caught the tail end so I'm not going to mark off for that. Not sure why it was the tail end however, since we were at the mercy of our tour bus.

Das Frühstük mit dn Koalas und das Hartley's Crocodile Adventures war super organisiert und durchgeführt. Danke dafür, muss man gemacht haben wen man in Cairns ist.
