Our groups range from students and special interest to business and incentives.
We take pride in providing individual attention for your group arrangements, whether you are a local vacation care group, a student group or an exclusive night function.
Subject to your requirements, groups can join our extensive daily activity program and dine at leisure from the daily menu at Lilies Restaurant or choose an individually customised itinerary with exclusive and semi-exclusive wildlife activities.
Tailored meals can be served on the deck overlooking Hartley’s Lagoon or at our Gondwana Grill amongst the kangaroos and wallabies. Our prices vary according to your budget, time constraints and any special requests you may have, which we always do our utmost to accommodate, wherever possible.
As evening falls, Hartley’s Night Adventures – our exclusive group offering - presents a distinctive combination of activities tailored to provide the most memorable of evenings for pre-arranged functions.
Lilies Licensed Restaurant overlooks the spectacular Hartley’s Lagoon which is home to a variety of aquatic species including a colony of large estuarine crocodiles.
Exclusive evening activities can include crocodile feeding presentations, interactive wildlife opportunities, crocodile spotlighting cruises and guided nocturnal walks.
Hartley’s experienced staff specialise in customising evening event itineraries for specific client requirements and work regularly with the region’s leading event and destination management companies.
In addition to its unique restaurant, Hartley’s also has a range of facilities on offer including two amphitheatres and expansive outback areas available for private charter. This superb venue is also available for breakfasts and late afternoon cocktail functions on route to other destinations such as Palm Cove, Port Douglas, Cairns.
Since opening in 2002 we’ve hosted product launches, award ceremonies, corporate dinners, high-level government dinners and pre-scheduled dinners and activity programs for international series and cruise ship groups which visit our region and are looking for a ‘wow factor’ experience to incorporate into their program.

Sit on the deck at Lilies Restaurant beside our beautiful lagoon and tuck into a fully cooked breakfast. Then, our wildlife keeper will join you with one of our friendly Koalas and make the introductions!
Lilies Restaurant overlooks our superb lagoon wetlands and is the ideal location for a leisurely lunch for groups. Add some crocodile to your set menu!
We will customise a night event to suit your group: how about a guided nocturnal animal walk or an evening crocodile spotting cruise?
We enjoy working with event managers and have extensive experience with global corporate + incentive companies whose clients love what we do.
What better place of learning than outdoors with wildlife? Nothing is quite as good as an excursion, so contact us and we will work with you to create memories for your students.
Are you a biology association holding a conference in Cairns? Or a group of veterinarians looking to relate more closely to a species? We’d love to hear what your area of interest is and tailor-make a package for you.
