Wildlife Tropical North Queensland

A family-operated tour company managing three of Tropical North Queensland's key wildlife attractions: Hartley's Crocodile Adventures, Kuranda Koala Gardens, and Birdworld Kuranda. The company focuses on direct wildlife encounters and education within naturalistic environments. Its flagship attraction, Hartley's, is one of the oldest tourist destinations in the region and was the first in Australia to successfully breed crocodiles in captivity, offering immersive experiences like lagoon cruises and its noted Crocodile Attack Show. The portfolio also includes Kuranda Koala Gardens – one of the few places where visitors can hold a koala – and Birdworld Kuranda, which showcases one of Australia's largest collections of free-flying birds. Locally owned and run by the Freeman Family, the organization's sustained focus on professional wildlife tourism has earned it numerous awards since 2002.
