Tiger Island - A wildly different world

Dreamworld's wildest attraction is Tiger Island where Bengal tigers play, wrestle and swim with their Sumatran sisters and human handlers every day.  

Opened in 1995, Tiger Island is the largest interactive tiger facility outside the United States and is an educational conservation-based attraction that actively works to save tigers in the wild.  

In the specifically designed habitat of Tiger Island, the tigers and their handlers co-exist peacefully without the constraints of cages creating an exciting and unique experience for guests.  Dreamworld’s tigers are trained (never ‘tamed’) by establishing and maintaining a strong bond, based on trust, respect and affection, between the handlers and tigers.

But guests can interact with this magnificent species other than to watch their twice daily shows.  

SNAP UP THE GIANT OF THE JUNGLE 

Guaranteed to give you a dinner conversation with a difference, Dreamworld’s giants of the jungle, the white and gold Bengal tigers, are available daily for photographs.

With less than 4000 of these magnificent beasts left in the wild and only a handful of facilities around the globe where tigers are trained to interact with the public, the opportunity to get close to a 200 kg machine of muscle is extraordinarily rare.

Sign up with six friends or family members and get behind Sultan, Mohan, Taj or any of our six big cats for a photo of roaring fur. The 15 minute session also gives you time to go one on one with the nearby Tiger handlers. And don’t worry, while you’re licking your lips with fear, our Tigers will be slurping down their favourite treat: a cooling ice cube made from full-cream milk.  

TIGER FEED EXPERIENCE

The unique carnivore experience is the only location in South East Queensland where guests can feed a tiger. The 15 minute experience is available to just six guests per day.

Commencing at 10am, guests are ushered behind the scenes of The Lair to chat one-on-one with Dreamworld handlers to learn about a tigers diet, its behavioural patters, tiger husbandry and of course, how to safely tong-feed a 200kg big cat.
