2 Overview
Wildlife Habitat Port Douglas Entry Ticket with Breakfast with the Birds
The award-winning Wildlife Habitat is Australia's leading environmental wildlife experience, providing visitors with a chance to observe up close a huge range of flora and fauna.
Situated at Port Douglas, Tropical North Queensland, Wildlife Habitat was constructed in 1988 on 8 acres (2 hectares) of land that has been recreated to provide a window into our natural environment.
With an Advanced Ecotourism Accreditation, Wildlife Habitat is committed to conservation via its wildlife rescue program, ensuring that injured, orphaned, or sick animals are looked after in a professional and caring manner.
Wildlife Habitat is a wildlife immersion exhibit - an open and interactive environment for guests and animals to mingle in a spacious and natural setting. Visitors wander along elevated boardwalks and meandering pathways to experience some of the Wet Tropics endemic species.
