Habitat de Fauna Silvestre Port Douglas

A good place to see the local animals of the region, and also some Australian classics like kangaroos and koalas. For us it was an opportunity to see cassowaries up close , since we didn’t see them in the wild.

Our travel agent booked for us to have a private tour. We were met by a keeper who showed us around and told us about each of the animals. We were provided with a lovely vegetarian breakfast and joined by the birds who wee keen to share! Our keeper then provided us with feeding opportunities. We fed the wallabies and kangaroos, the cassowaries, fish and birds. We also met the koalas and some reptiles. We were given the opportunity to have 3 photos with a koala and another of our choice- we chose the frogmouth. We were then able to have free time following our tour. Overall it was great to learn more about the animals and hear their stories.

If you're a bird-lover like me, you will love the place. It has beautiful gardens and aviaries for the birdlife and great walkways for getting about easily. I did the breakfast with the birds and thoroughly enjoyed it. I also got a koala photo, where the koala sits on a branch and you stand next to it so as not to stress them which I appreciate. Only a few koalas and wallabies, so don't go expecting a lot of them. Passionate staff and great presentations to learn from! Really interesting reptile talk and crocodile presentation. Love seeing the two cassowary. Highly recommend a visit here.

super interesting, fairly self guided, family friendly, low impact but very fun, highly recommended for everyone

Was skeptical at first but feeding kangaroos and petting a koala during a photo session was awesome. Great staff and a good value!

Such a great experience. A scrumptious breakfast surrounded by birds of different species. The keepers are so keen about sharing their knowledge. We also got up close and personal with koala finding out more about their habits and habitat. Highly recommended unless you are afraid of birds! We especially liked feeding the kangaroo.

An amazing wildlife park just outside of the main town centre. Get amazingly close to many animals and birds. We didn’t know until we got there that the ticket is a 5-day pass which is fabulous. Although we saw most of what we wanted on the first visit to return you’d certainly see more and different things. Get the shuttle from town for easy transport.

We were so surprised that a sanctuary si close to town could be this good. Walk thru enclosures are great with animals so relaxed and comfortable. Information from Keepers was good. Everyone got an opportunity to feed or touch animals. The 5 day pass is a great idea. Only 5 minutes from our hotel we visited 3 times at different times of the day and saw animals in a variety of ways.

This is a must do when you come to Port Douglas. You get really up close to the animals and the kangaroos are super friendly! You even get to pat a koala with your picture taken. It’s also good to know part of the proceeds helps wild animals in Australia.

Wildlife Habitat is absolutely amazing, and I cannot recommend it enough if you are in the area. Not only were the birds and animals all amazing, all the staff was so sweet and kind to us. The birds were so beautiful, and it was nice that all the habitats were immersive, so the birds could be right next to you with no cage. I enjoyed feeding the kangaroos and the fish. Both the koala keeper talk and the crocodile feeding demonstration were extremely informative and enjoyable. It is also nice that there is a wildlife hospital on site. My family and I also did two experiences: feeding the crocodiles and the nocturnal walk. Feeding the crocodiles was absolutely amazing! My family and I got to feed crocodiles twice, and both times we felt extremely safe and well-guided. Again, the staff was so sweet and kind, and it was so fun to feed the crocodiles! The nocturnal walk was absolutely lovely, and it is 100% worth every dollar. We fed swallows, kangaroos, a tawny frogmouth, a cassowary, sugar gliders, and a quoll. We also were able to hold a native python and we even got lucky and saw a wild white-lipped tree frog. Our guide taught us so much about the animals we fed and the other animals in the Habitat, and it was truly an unforgettable night. Wine and a charcuterie board was included and delicious, especially eating it with a view of the sleepy koalas, which we got to pet after dinner. If I was ever in Port Douglas again, I would go straight back to Wildlife Habitat in a heartbeat!
