What a great little wildlife park - free tours and knowledgeable staff. We were lucky to go on a very quiet day and had plenty of space and food from the breakfast buffet!

We had a good time walking around Wildlife Habitat. The enclosures are fantastic if the kids want to feed the wallabies and birds. We loved the Owls!

This is a wonderful place to have breakfast while playing with the birds, and spending a few hours, especially with kids, interacting with the animals. The place has good food buffet, and seems to be managed very well, with knowledgable guides, clean grounds, and very cute koalas!!!! I also learned that Koalas are NOT bears!!!!

Staying in Port, looking for something to take mum to, easy access and boardwalk, this was a highlight of the trip for her, breakfast was nice, coffee was cold. The wild life ranger added to the experience by letting us touch the birds and explaining different birds in the enclosure.

We went through in May. We found the attraction wildlife plentiful for ducks birds and small wallaby s the reminder were a few crocs and generally could have been more exciting. It's ok if you want to get close to a croc and observe, the rest was fairly sparse on the ground and up in the tree walks, didn't see... More

All the staff loved their work extremely well informed and gave good presentations. Visitors had the opportunity to participate feeding and handling the wild life. They had a good buffet lunch, eat as much as you can

We were lucky to have found this habitat while staying in Port Douglas. You can feed kangaroos and wallabies. Take your picture with a Koala too! The birds they have there are amazing. The place is very clean and the layout is very nice.

We visited the Wildlife Habitat and enjoyed Lunch with the Lorikeets. The highlight of this outing was having our pictures taken holding a koala. The children also enjoyed holding other animals (snake, lizards, birds) and feeding the kangeroos. We were slightly disappointed with the kangeroo feeding area. We had heard stories of sanctuaries where hoards of them eagerly came to... More

Up close and personal with birds & beasts! Absolutely wonderful to be able to hold Rainbow Lorikeets, Koalas and a Snake!!! Hand feeding the adorable Wallabies was a real highlight of this trip. The food looked pretty average, only sweet muffins or slices available for a light snack, nothing savoury. Staff were very friendly & the entry fee was reasonably... More

Thanks for your positive review for Wildlife Habitat, we're glad that you enjoyed your visit to our wildlife park. With regards to the food options in our Cafe, we actually serve two buffets each day - Breakfast with the Birds an Lunch with the Lorikeets. These are both an additional $15 on top of the entry price, and present great... More
