Enjoy a relaxing 2-hour boat cruise on the St Lucia Estuary, part of the iSimangaliso Wetland Park – South Africa’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site.
During the cruise guests can enjoy close-up sightings of hippopotamus, Nile crocodiles basking along the banks, African Fish Eagles, kingfishers, and a wide variety of birdlife that inhabit the mangrove swamps and estuarine shoreline.

Guests can enjoy views from the large upper sundeck, perfect for photography and panoramic views of the estuary.
