Tour the apex predator kingdom to witness daily crocodile feedings on this guided tour, complete with transportation for an enjoyable experience.
1. Crocodile Cruises
Crocodiles are fearsome hunters, adept at prowling along the water’s surface and lunging with sudden force to strike prey. Crocodile attacks have claimed more lives than sharks throughout history – from individual encounters to mass attacks against World War II soldiers. Crocodile tours provide safe experiences with these ancient creatures but it’s wise to take measures for your own protection on tour day – in particular by not eating meat-based foods prior to going on tour; carnivorous crocs will be attracted by your scent; wearing a hat, applying sunscreen on exposed skin areas and having binoculars ready will all ensure maximum enjoyment on tour day!
Broome offers several ways for visitors to view crocodiles at Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Park & Wildlife Sanctuary, with one being an Iconic Afternoon Crocodile Cruise that features hotel pickup and drop-off in an air-conditioned bus, while learning about these majestic prehistoric reptiles during feeding time.
This fully guided tour gives you the rare chance to witness up to 60 crocodiles feeding frenzy in one of the park’s ponds! Furthermore, you will meet some of its residents such as Southern Cassowary birds, dingoes and kangaroos that call this park home.
Guluyambi Cultural Cruise and Yellow Water Wetlands Cruise provide another option, providing passengers a chance to sit on an observation platform and observe crocodiles safely from a boat. Though swimming in these areas isn’t advised, you can walk along shorelines and explore wetlands on foot in search of crocs, birdlife and more!
Positive reviews about these cruises indicate their safety and enjoyment, with travelers such as Veronica_M and Jackie_W raving about their unique up-close experience and informative narration. Furthermore, friendly staff made everyone feel at ease; transportation was impeccable making this an essential attraction in Broome.
2. Crocodile Encounters
As a rule, it’s always wise to stay away from alligators and crocodiles – whether on land or water, they can be much more dangerous than they appear. If one does catch you unawares, fight for your life; poking at their eyes causes maximum pain if possible. Crocodiles also have sensitive ears and noses so keep an eye out.
Saltwater crocodiles can be extremely territorial animals that will aggressively defend their territory even when not hungry, so it is wise to heed warning signs and swim only in designated swimming areas when camping or visiting areas known to have saltwater crocs present.
If a crocodile threatens you and you need guidance in handling it, seek the advice of local authorities and park rangers for guidance. They will inform you about safe swimming zones or hotspots where these creatures gather as well as ways to stay away from potential danger.
However, should you encounter a crocodile in the wild, do not approach or touch it; even if it appears to be sleeping. Crocodiles are extremely powerful creatures capable of inflicting serious injury upon humans with just one bite; their jaw can deliver up to 3,700 pounds per square inch in force which is over three and half times stronger than shark bite strength and over 100 times that of humans.
Crocodile enthusiasts should book their experiences through tour operators who follow strict safety protocols and are licensed by local authorities, such as Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Park in Broome. It provides thrilling feeding experiences in an enclosed environment – making this activity perfect for families wanting an educational and entertaining experience during their time in Broome.
3. Crocodile Tours
People often associate crocodiles with Australia or the Amazon; those familiar with National Geographic shows in which large reptiles ambush wildebeests across rivers may remember large reptiles ambushing wildebeests by surprise ambushes by huge reptiles like this croc. But these predatory beasts live across many tropical regions in both freshwater and salt water environments – Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Park offers thrilling feeding shows as well as museum exhibits following strict safety precautions, making this experience both educational and enjoyable for people of all ages alike!
Crocodile attacks on land are extremely rare as crocs prefer stalking their prey in water. If ever in an unsafe situation, back away slowly without making sudden movements or any sudden adjustments; if a crocodile decides you might make an appetizing meal for it, try moving in a straight line rather than in any zig-zag formations which could attract their attention; also remember crocodile eyes are highly vulnerable points so do not attempt to dissuade it by splashing water or striking them directly in its eyes or attacking with anything other than direct strikes to its eyes or attacking its eyes by splashing or striking them directly in its eyes.
Crocodile Park lies 15 minutes outside Broome and can be reached either by car, tour including it as part of its itinerary, or the Broome Bus which travels between Chinatown and Cable Beach.
Visitors can purchase basic admission tickets or enhance their visit with an upgraded experience that includes guided museum tours and brewery tasting at Matso’s Brewery. A brewery, museum, and crocodile park combo tour offers visitors an engaging tour experience throughout Broome in one unforgettable outing.
Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Park should be on everyone’s itinerary when visiting Broome. Crocodiles are amazing creatures, and what better place to observe them than this popular attraction. However, visitors should keep in mind that any attempt at interactivity with crocs at the park could prove fatal for both you and them!
4. Crocodile Adventures
Crocodiles may conjure images of Australia or National Geographic specials depicting massive reptiles ambushing wildebeests crossing rivers in Africa. Unfortunately, however, crocodiles can be found all around the world and their attacks far outnumber shark bites. Their crushing bite can easily kill humans with 3,700 pounds per square inch pressure–three and a half times that of a lion and 25 times greater than human pressure! Their attacks range from individual encounters with these dangerous reptiles all the way to mass attacks such as World War II soldiers at Ramree Island when over 1,000 soldiers died due to saltwater crocodile attacks during World War II.
These ancient predators may appear formidable, yet they’re actually highly adaptive and strong animals with incredible strength, intelligence and flexibility. They have managed to adapt well across various habitats, hunting both on land and water for food sources; their incredible abilities allow them to survive and even thrive in many different environments – inspiring fear in many but saving lives along the way and becoming powerful symbols of courage and perseverance.
Though there’s no need to become friends with crocodiles, there are plenty of ways you can enjoy their presence in nature. Aside from safe crocodile cruises and wildlife parks such as Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Park and Animal Refuge tours that include hotel pickup and drop-off via an air-conditioned bus as well as park tours with feedings of these amazing animals are popular activities for this purpose.
If you come across a crocodilian in the wild, attempt to remain calm and avoid making sudden movements or waving your arms. If it lunges at you, run quickly in a straight line – studies have demonstrated that humans run faster and more effectively this way than zig-zagging through it all.
Staying away from areas known to attract crocodilians – including nesting mounds, riverbanks and shallows where they congregate – is also paramount. When camping or fishing near water bodies such as rivers or lakes, camp two metres above high water marks, do your chores far away from any sloping banks and ensure you use appropriate precautions when handling waste near water edges and banks.
