Excellent, if you come to Darwin the 'cage of death' should be at the top of your to do list, awesome.

K
Kim – Australia

Cage of Death was an amazing experience; staff were friendly and informative. Baru was a monster but thankfully he didn't eat me :) The cage felt secure at all times, the only tricky part is getting in and out of the cage, but I am not as young as I used to be, so it was probably rookie error on my part. Would thoroughly recommend this experience.

Full description

Your experienced guides will first take you through a 30-minute safety briefing to ensure you are well prepared to enter the Cage of Death. Operated by an over-head monorail and designed for 1 or 2 people per cage, the Cage of Death (a clear cage) will suspend you above the crocs before being lowered into the pen for a closer encounter with these amazing reptiles.

You will then come face to face with the world’s largest reptile underwater. Experience the thrill of sharing the very same environment of a five-meter-long (or longer) saltwater crocodile. Marvel at their size and their prehistoric features and prepare for your heart to start racing as you catch each others' eye.

Every Cage of Death dive includes 15 minutes in the enclosure with one of these massive reptiles. Regular feeding by our crocodile handlers while you are in the cage encourages more movement from the crocodiles and ensures an up-close encounter that must be seen to be believed! Don’t miss the chance of getting 360-degree views of you and the crocs as the on-site photographers captures amazing images both inside and outside of the crocodile enclosures. Meet some of the famous crocodile inhabitants, such as Chopper, Axel and William and Kate and be wowed by this unique, once in a lifetime experience.

Included is a general admission ticket to Crocosaurus Cove to complete your day!
