Crocodylus is a truly unique hostel resort situated at Cow Bay, between the World Heritage rainforest areas of the Daintree and Cape Tribulation National Parks and the Great Barrier Reef.

The resort is hidden under a tall stand of some of the remaining lowland rainforest on the Queensland tropical coast. Crocodylus Village adjoins the Baileys Creek section of Cape Tribulation National Park. A giant strangler fig tree provides a dramatic centrepiece to the village.
