Do not book this tour
Totally misleading times of tour, you will only have 3h and not 6H as advertised. Viator does not resolve or refund due to incompetence of operator
Operator response
We appreciate your feedback on our tour and regret that it didn't entirely meet your expectations, particularly regarding the tour duration. Our advertised six-hour tour encompasses hotel pick-up and drop-off, travel, and transit times. We carefully plan the itinerary at Hartley's Crocodile Adventures to ensure guests enjoy key attractions like the boat cruise, crocodile and snake presentations, and wildlife viewing.
Our team strives to clearly communicate tour arrangements, including confirming pick-up and departure times via Viator messages before the tour. We're concerned that repeated changes in describing the experience have complicated the refund process. We believe refund requests should be assessed objectively against confirmed booking details, tour information, and actual services delivered.
We take customer feedback seriously and remain committed to providing a quality experience. However, we also believe reviews and refund claims should accurately reflect tour arrangements and services provided.

Surprisingly good time if you have a half day to kill!
Surprisingly good time. This booking is actually quite ideal to see this entire park. Driver drops you off with pretty simple instructions on when to meet for the croc attack show and boat ride. You have just enough time to do an entire lap of the whole park at a moderate pace. I was fortunate that all the animals were very active for me. There is a koala talk from 4:30 to 4:40 right at the entrance so do not leave the park early to wait for the bus.

It was a ok tour if weather is not very good for snorkeling
This trip is good for solo or couple travellers who are staying in the Cairns CBD. There’s no tour guide. What you pay for is for the mini bus transport. Once you get there it’s all self guided. If you have larger group it’s probably cheaper to go by uber. In a solo travellers case you pay more for transport than the actual ticket. The crocodile adventure was ok. Lots of school kids and small children with family. If you don’t mind then it’s ok. I did see lots of crocs. Boat cruise was included but because the tour bus wants to do two rounds (they dropped off another group of tourists at 1:30pm when they picked the morning group up) this means the morning group finishes at 1:30pm. The best show there is the croc attack show which is at 3pm. Maybe it’s best to go in the afternoon if this is an option for you.
Also, when I booked for hotel pick up I was supposed to be picked up at one of the hotels they only sent you message the night before that you have your go to another nearby hotel for pick up. I didn’t know that so I almost missed it. Just beware. Otherwise it was a ok tour especially if it’s not a day for snorkeling.

Great day out
Really good experience the keepers give lots of information, this was my third visit in 11years when visiting from the UK. The cafe was disappointing this time and very slow service but the park didn’t disappoint. It would have been nice to have had more time there it felt rather rushed and there were things I have seen before that I didn’t have time to show my sister. Definitely worth a visit

Happy & Snappy
Picked up on time. Very entertaining, multi lingual and experienced guide. Nice clean coach. Not too many pick ups.
Only downside at the adventure was we thought some of the enclosures were a bit small.
