Crocosaurus Cove is Australia’s exclusive crocodile diving destination and is home to the largest display of Australian reptiles. With a freshwater aquarium, a reptile exhibit, handler talks and unique encounter crocodile experiences, Crocosaurus Cove is one of the most popular attractions in Darwin.

It’s a compact attraction located within Darwin CBD, designed for a short, high-impact visit rather than a full-day experience. Most areas are within a single complex with a few levels.

Key zones include Big Croc Enclosures, the Cage of Death area, Reptile House, Aquarium & Whipray area, and interactive experience zones like baby croc handling.

​Crocosaurus Cove tickets are available online and at the venue. However, we recommend you book in advance and online because the attraction is popular, especially during the weekends and school holidays.
