This is a 2.5hour drive from Durban to St Lucia. When we arrive in St Lucia you go into a boat cruise. What a memorable tour this is as you cruise on the Hippo & Croc Boat Cruise marvelling at hippos, crocs, birds and other wildlife down St Lucia Estuary.
On this Hippo & Croc tour, the local guide will inform you of the Isimangaliso’s history and its incredible wildlife. Imagine seeing Hippos Yawning and Grunting up close while out on one of the largest estuaries in Africa. An iSimangaliso Wetland Park Boat Cruise is one of the most favourite attractions in Isimangaliso Wetlands Park. This 2-hour Hippo and Croc Boat Safari traverses approximately 8km in a northerly direction on the St Lucia Estuary, which is within the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, South Africa's very first world heritage site. Great opportunities for birdwatching, scenic safari. The main objective is to provide knowledge of the spectacular St Lucia Estuary ecosystem, whilst providing an opportunity for photographs and memories that will last a lifetime.
