Reptile House Crocosaurus Cove presents the World’s largest display of Australian Reptiles, with over 70 species of reptiles on display in your reptile enclosure. Most reptiles on display are from the Northern Territory’s Top End and Kimberley region, however be sure to check out our new Desert region which is home to a range of species found in Australia’s Red Centre. A reptile can be described as a vertebrate (ie has a backbone) that derives it’s body temperature from an external source, such as the sun. It’s body is covered in skin from which grow scales. Some scales are very difficult to see as found on geckos, while other reptiles have modified scales that create a suit of armour or plating as seen in turtles. Get up close to some of these amazing critters in our Meet the Reptile show & learn more about what they like for lunch during our Reptile Feeding show.

We start the day by travelling along the Causeway Coastal Route through beautiful coastal towns, including Ballycastle, which Game of Thrones fans will know as home to the actors who play Lady Catelyn Stark and Varys!
Main stops include:
Cushendun - where we visit the Cave which featured Melisandre giving birth to the shadow assassin!
Ballintoy Harbour is the next port of call, where Theon Greyjoy cames back to Pyke Harbour. This is so recognisable there has even been a plaque erected!
Giant’s Causeway – you can’t come this far without visiting this UNESCO World Heritage Sie
Carrick-a-Rede Ropebridge - you can't be so close and not fit in a visit to the Ropebridge - but please don't do a Balon Greyjoy!
Larrybane - where Renly swears to Lady Stark that he will avenge Ned's death, but meets his end at the hands of the shadow assassin conjured up in those caves you visited in Cushendun.
The Dark Hedges – Possibly the most recognisable of the locations where Arya Stark makes her escape down The Kings Road.
There is a lot of walking on what are sometimes uneven surfaces during this tour, and it therefore requires moderate fitness levels. Please come dressed appropriately for not only the season, but also for the activity.
