Wildlife Habitat in Port Douglas is a great place to experience Australian Wildlife from Crocodiles to Koalas. Designed in an open range style you will have the opportunity to walk amongst the animals, many of which have been rescued and brought back to health. The Centre is committed to ensuring that injured, orphaned, or sick animals are looked after in a professional and caring manner, and those which cannot return to the wild remain in the park. Experience some "reptile interraction"! See the crocodiles being fed, feed the wallabies yourself, or cuddle a Koala. Its a great day out, or they have night tours also.

Want to swim in some cool water in the tropical summer, check out the waterfalls on the table lands. You can take a tour or drive yourself. The water is crystal clear all year round, and so cool.
