Gifts that give back: Wildlife Habitat supports environment with innovative present ideas for Christmas
BUSINESS FEATURE
As Christmas approaches, ushering in joy and excitement, it also carries the weight of gift-giving expectations. In a world cluttered with material possessions, one must ask: Is there a more meaningful way to express gratitude to our loved ones than through yet another tangible item?
Wildlife Habitat Port Douglas says yes, and is asking that this year, you consider a different approach to gifting that will not only create unforgettable memories but also do good for the planet.
From cuddling koalas and private night tours to swimming with one of the world’s most dangerous predators in the saltwater crocodile, the Wildlife Habitat offers some truly unique adventures that Sales Executive, Trent Berry, says are invaluable.
“Getting up close and personal with the animals we have here allows you to make a connection with and develop a deeper appreciation and understanding of them,” he explained.
“We always come from an approach of ‘Observation, Appreciation, Conservation’ in the hope that by creating special moments between the guests and the animals, they will more likely help with conservation efforts in the future. We can all make a difference,” he said.

More than that, Wildlife Habitat’s focus on gifting experiences perfectly aligns with the collective shift towards sustainability. Choosing to gift an experience leaves a lighter footprint on our precious environment and fosters a connection to nature that extends far beyond the holiday season.
Wanting to buy a gift for someone out of town? Why not consider sponsoring an animal? An initiative that Mr Berry said has been a popular gift option in the past.
“We take in sick and injured animals found in the community and it’s through sponsorship that we’re able to rehabilitate and rehome them,” he explained.
Wildlife Habitat has evolved to become a must-visit attraction on any Port Douglas itinerary not only for visitors but also for locals – an intentional effort by the team. Local deals and discounts are a regular occurrence with the onsite Gift Shop offering 20% off their eco-friendly, local wares to residents from Townsville to Cape York – perfect for those last-minute Kris Kringle gifts and stocking fillers.
“Port Douglas is such a great community and we get a lot of locals coming in regularly, so we like to give back to them where we can,” said Mr Berry.
