  Plenty of animals, nice views and nice Staff at the farm! It was a good idea to book the breakfast with Koala - it was a good big breakfast and a lot of time with the animal.

  This was so much fun! We were able to sit right by sweet old man Buster, the koala, during our whole meal. Then, we were able to pet his back and watch him as he got really sleepy. It was absolutely amazing to see him so up close. Breakfast was standard fare - it was good and the servings were huge! All of the staff were friendly and helpful.

  Everything about the Hartley's excursion was fabulous. The transport came at the set time, there was good communication before the excursion. Harry's offers a number of other great experiences as well. We were able to email Hartley's and arrange a schedule of extras we wanted to do plus the things included in the ticket that interested us. When we arrived, our driver had a nap marking the location of each thing, the time and the needed tickets. The koala keeper at the breakfast was very friendly offering all sorts of interesting information and answering our questions. If you are really into the Australian animals, consider the Magic Mammals experience! It was unbelievable! We fed and/or patted patted wombats, quolls, kangaroos, wallabies, squirrel gliders and was able to hold a koala. we also did a meet and greet with the komodo dragon, the boat ride and walked pretty much the whole park. We didn't do the croc farm tour because we will see crocodiles again in Darwin. Besides the provided photo holding the koala, we were able to get as many photos with our own cell phones as we wanted.

  Loved every minute of this experience, although holding the little guy would have been a bonus. There was another area in the park to hold a koala but it was limited to twice a day and for a very limited amount of time. I was so excited to meet Beau and learn about him form his handler that I barely ate the breakfast, which was abundant. The handler was very knowledgeable. My hubby and I had the table for 2 right in front of the little guy. There were several other guests there for the breakfast as well but our time was later and so when they all left we had exclusive time which made for great photos.

  Shuttle was punctual. Driver was nice and very informative. Breakfast was tasty - a very large breakfast! Buster the Koala was beautiful and so sweet. He loved getting back pets, and it was so amazing to feel a Koala's soft, fuzzy coat! You get the chance to get right up next to them. The rest of Hartley's was also interesting. We saw tons of crocodiles on the boat tour, including several jumping out of the water and snapping to feed. Such a great experience - would recommend!

  Breakfast with the koalas was a wonderful, intimate experience with knowledgeable staff and a wonderful full breakfast. Harltey's Crocodile Park is a more intimate environment to see and learn about Australian animals than other parks we visited.

  I went to hartlys crocodile sanctuary this week ,while visiting palm cove QLD for a 5 day break from melbourne ,what a fantastic experience this place was ,its eco friendly ,and into the conservation of native australian wildlife ,the koala experience was wonderful, and l also had the luxury of holding a baby koala ,there is a sectioned off part of this very natural sanctuary, where the kangaroos roam freely and you can interact and feed them ,the children all loved feeding them carrots and apples and touching them ,the two crocodile shows with a croc named hadgrid was both interesting to watch and very educational as well about these amazing animals ,the boat ride around their river was terrific, we saw crocs sunbaking ,and the guide fed one as it leapt out of the water ,there is a good eating area for lunch and drinks,and its not expensive either ,l chose a package to be picked up from my hotel and taken back, l think its worth a visit and great for children, to interact up close with our native wildlife

  Had a wonderful breakfast and private time with the Koala Bears. Able to pet and interact with the little guys. All the staff at Hartleys are wonderful and the park is so well mapped out. Very clean and family friendly. Highly recommend.

  I must say that Breakfast with the Koala at Hartley’s Crocodile Adventure is well worth the cost if you have children that are interested in animals. My son had a koala theme birthday party in the United States and this adventure was our culminating activity. Rarely can you find a koala in the United States because of the eucalyptus they require is native to southeastern and eastern Australia. Thus, this breakfast with Yoshi (the koala) was a real treat. We met the wonderful keeper Rickie prior to having our breakfast and she explained about the program. She then allowed us to interact with Yoshi. It was such a wonderful experience for us to see the koala up close and have an opportunity to touch the fur. Next, we had breakfast which we really enjoyed. Breakfast consisted of eggs, bacon, sausage toast, croissants, fruit, juices, coffee, and a variety jams were available. The food was plentiful and we enjoyed our meal. Please note the breakfast is not fancy but it definitely worked for us. The keeper then provided us with information about Yoshi and we had the opportunity to take photos with him. Please note that you will not be able to hold this koala but for an extra fee you can hold a koala and take a photo at another location in the park. I truly enjoyed this experience with my son. We plan to read a few books about koalas to compliment our visit. Thanks to the keeper Rickie for signing my son’s birthday book and thanks for providing such a wonderful adventure. Please note that if you decide to visit without a car book your transportation via the tour company because we could not get any Internet connection thus using Uber would be a challenge.

  My husband and I had such a great experience at Hartley’s Crocodile Farm, breakfast with Forest the koala was an excellent start to the day. The food and drinks provided were better than we expected and a nice view of crocodiles in the lake while we ate. If you’re heading to the farm this breakfast is a lovely little addition.
