Buy tickets to Wildlife Habitat Port Douglas online here! Port Douglas' Wildlife Habitat is an excellent, reasonably-priced showcase of the diversity of Aussie and tropics animal life with enough of its own interesting quirks and offerings to set it apart from other standard zoos in the bigger cities. Featuring a huge and diverse range of flora and fauna, the attraction offers the chance to truly get very close to a wide range of birds and other animal life; it puts a real emphasis on getting “hands-on” with the animals and encouraging interactivity that is always a hit with the kids and visitors from abroad in particular. All your essential Aussie wildlife staples are covered here – standards such as kangaroos, koalas and snakes are interspersed with other species that are more representative of Tropical QLD. The crocodiles in particular are a highlight as many of them are huge and watching them being fed is quite a thrill, while other varieties of animals like cassowaries, pythons and tree kangaroos are all living reminders of Queensland’s natural diversity.
One major point in Wildlife Habitat Port Douglas' favour is that the animals on offer are given quite a large degree of freedom; their enclosures are far more open than your average zoo, and it's all designed with a natural and organic layout that helps to maintain its feeling of immersion in the rainforest surrounds. Feeding, patting, and otherwise interacting with the animals is encouraged, while regular talks and presentation by the friendly staff are held at regular intervals throughout the day with highlights such as reptile presentations and croc feeding highlights. It's also obvious that the animals are all happy and well cared for - a fact which goes a long way towards further enjoying this kind of attraction.
