This is not a standard wildlife encounter — it is one of Australia’s most unusual animal adventures

The Crocodile Swim, Shark Feeding and Giant Grouper Experience brings together a combination of animals and encounters that is almost impossible to find anywhere else. In one experience, guests can safely swim beside crocodiles, come close to powerful sharks, and meet Bruce, our giant grouper — an animal so impressive that most people have never seen anything like him up close.

What makes this experience so different is the variety, intensity and closeness of the encounters. It is not simply watching animals from behind glass or seeing a short presentation. Guests move through a series of unforgettable moments, from crocodile billabongs to shark feeding and giant grouper interaction, all within a controlled, indoor environment designed to make the experience exciting, safe and memorable.

For many visitors, this is the highlight of their entire Port Stephens trip

It combines the thrill of a crocodile encounter, the power of large sharks, and the surprise of meeting one of the ocean’s most remarkable fish into one premium adventure.

For anyone searching for a once-in-a-lifetime animal experience in NSW, a unique thing to do near Nelson Bay, or an unforgettable wildlife adventure only 2.5 hours from Sydney, this is one of the most distinctive experiences in Australia — and possibly the world. This is the experience for visitors who want more than a normal animal encounter. The Crocodile Swim, Shark Feeding and Giant Grouper Experience combines three of our most memorable premium encounters into one powerful Port Stephens adventure.

You start with the excitement of our crocodile billabongs, where you can safely get closer to crocodiles than most people ever imagined. Then the experience builds into huge shark feeding and the chance to meet Bruce, our giant grouper — one of the most impressive animals at Port Stephens Animal Adventures. It is immersive, safe, unforgettable and completely different from the usual things to do in Port Stephens. For visitors looking for a once-in-a-lifetime animal experience near Nelson Bay, Newcastle or just 2.5 hours from Sydney, this is one of the most unique wildlife adventures in NSW.
