What To Expect:

This unforgettable adventure begins with a convenient morning pick-up from Cairns City or Palm Cove.

Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of crocodiles and discover the diverse native wildlife and unique ecosystems of Tropical North Queensland at your own pace. Witness thrilling crocodile feeding shows, explore discovery trails through woodlands and wetlands, spot more crocs and birdlife as you cruise along Hartley’s Lagoon, and enjoy wildlife presentations including koalas, snakes and more. 

And the adventure doesn't end there! Around mid-afternoon you'll be picked up for a short 2-minute transfer to Wangetti Beach. Here, the thrill continues with an exhilarating tandem paragliding flight with High Adventure Paragliding, where you’ll feel the serenity of flight and the rush of adrenaline in one unforgettable experience! 

After a unique beach take-off, you’ll soar above the stunning tropical coastline, taking in panoramic views of beautiful beaches, lush rainforest-clad mountains and the Great Barrier Reef. Those seeking an extra thrill can also opt for some exhilarating aerobatics! 

Finally, when you’re feet are back on the ground, we'll ensure a comfortable return transfer back to Cairns City or Palm Cove, leaving you with incredible memories of your croc-filled and high-flying day.
