This is the third or fourth time we've done a Hippo and Croc cruise from sunset jetty. It is always special and informative. Not only do we enjoy something new and educational each time, but we witness how professionally the staff interact with our overseas guests which is an added delight. Definitely a recommended St Lucia adventure for all visitors. - Drewan
An Unforgettable River Cruise Experience I had the pleasure of going on a river cruise to see hippos and crocodiles, and it was a truly fantastic day! We were lucky enough to spot several hippos, a few crocodiles, and a variety of beautiful birds in their natural habitat. What made the experience even more enjoyable was the outstanding crew. A special mention goes to the captain, who was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also provided detailed and fascinating explanations about the animals and the environment. His passion and insight added so much value to the trip. The whole excursion was well-organized, relaxing, and educational. I highly recommend this river cruise to anyone looking to enjoy nature up close and learn something new along the way. A memorable experience from start to finish! - Alain
