We are so happy about our recent contribution to expanding Port Douglas’ one-of-a-kind experiences. With tourism slowly coming back to life throughout the country, what better time to add new offerings to the traveller’s agenda.
The CrocArena in Port Douglas’ WIldlife Habitat as designed by TPG Archtitects.
After many requests from visiting and would-be-visiting tourists, the CaPTA group, who is responsible for famous attractions such as the Rainforestation Nature Park, Australian Butterfly Sanctuary, Cairns Zoom & Wildlife Dome and more, not only added a CrocArena to their Wildlife Habitat in Port Douglas, but also now allow guests the option to “Swim with the Salties”.
Of course, the guests will stay safe throughout the experience, as a 30mm thick perspex wall separates the humans gazing at the modern dinosaurs with their killer instincts. TPG Architects was responsible for the full design, including a grandstand amphitheatre with seating for 300 people. The underwater viewing areas allow visitors to watch feeding of the predators up close and also swim with them from the perspective of potentially being prey, thus getting an idea of just how bone-crushing those giant jaws could be without any risk to themselves or the crocs!

Such an innovative design is bolstering Port Douglas as a tourism destination in a unique and special way by giving visitors a truly remarkable experience. The CrocArena is now considered to be the crown jewel of attractions in Port Douglas. Hence our excitement about his project!
