A ride as close as possible to the hippos

A calm and pleasant ride on a small boat (12-15 people) that allows you to get as close as possible to the hippos. The skipper/guide is very professional and teaches us many things throughout the ride. Very good experience!

Perfect 2 hour boat trip on Lake St Lucia estuary.

Everything was taken care of to perfection. Beautiful, small boats that had a dozen people on them. Our very knowledgeable guide, Thobile, took the time to answer all your questions and also helped to see things you would like to see if possible. Highly recommended.

An unmissable outing to observe the hippos up close!

Superb experience! This boat trip to observe the hippos was both exciting and very informative. We were able to get very close to the animals in their natural environment, which makes the excursion even more impressive. The guide provided many explanations throughout the ride, which allowed us to learn a lot about the hippos, their way of life, and the local ecosystem. The pier is located just a few minutes from St. Lucia and has a convenient parking lot for easy parking. We highly recommend this activity to anyone visiting the region. An excellent time, both fun and enriching!

Great Tour

We really enjoyed our hippo boat tour in St. Lucia. A special thank you to our guide, Thobile, who made the experience both interesting and enjoyable. Thobile was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of fascinating information about the hippos, their behavior, habitat, and how they live. Her explanations were clear, informative, and easy to follow, which made the tour much more meaningful. She also answered questions with patience and gave us a great insight into the local wildlife. On top of her knowledge, Thobile was very friendly, approachable, and led the tour in a relaxed and professional way. We learned a lot while enjoying the beautiful scenery and seeing the hippos in their natural environment. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting St. Lucia. Thank you, for a great experience!
