Good hippo cruise - Our guide Thobile was fabulous! She was very informative and clearly is very fond of the hippos in the 3 pods we saw and about the wetlands park itself! The highlight of the trip were the baby hippos, too cute for words! It was just my sister and myself on the trip so if she saw us looking at something she would tell us what it was, tell us a little about it and allow us to take photos, we were very lucky and grateful! Other highlights were the darter, sea eagle and 2 crocodiles. Cracking morning, thanks!

Unforgettable experience - We had an amazing boat ride on the St Lucia Estuary with our guide and skipper, Heinie. He was excellent—extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and attentive to everyone on board. Heinie went out of his way to point out various bird species for those keen on photography and ensured we had incredible sightings of hippos and even a crocodile! It was a fantastic experience, and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. Thank you, Heinie, for making the trip so memorable!

A must-see in Saint Lucia - Really nice boat tour. We didn't see any crocodiles, but we saw a lot of hippos. Mosquito spray we would recommend.

Lots of Hippos and two babies - was a nice experience, saw plenty of hippos and a couple of crocs, able to get really close and stop near the hippos and a lot of care taken to be safe for them as well as us. best tour company out of the boats we saw all the others were too big and busy. Not as many birds as we hoped to see as reeds so thick. hoped to have gone up a bit further on the lake. really nice guide who answered all questions really nicely. Saw fish eagles and a rock monitor which was cool.
