Crocosaurus Cove

Unsuspectingly located in the heart of the Darwin CBD, Croc Cove is home to some of the largest Saltwater Crocodiles in Australia. It's a must do when you're visiting Darwin.

Want something cool to tell your friends about back home? The infamous Cage of Death at Croc Cove is not for the faint hearted. Available to anyone 15 years and over, you’ll be plunged into a pool with one of Australia’s biggest apex predators - specifically, a 5m saltwater crocodile. 

Crocosaurus Cove is the only place in Australia that offers you the chance to dive with a croc. Feel the power and strength of these creatures up close and personal and get some awesome pics while you do it. 

If the Cage of Death isn't your thing, the Cove still has a bunch of engaging attractions including a reptile show and fishing with crocs.
