St Lucia Hippo Boat Cruise

Two hours on the St Lucia estuary, close to hippo pods, crocodiles and water birds.

The St Lucia estuary has one of the largest hippo populations in South Africa. The boat moves slowly along the banks so you can watch and photograph them safely.

What you will do

  • See hippo pods and Nile crocodiles from the water
  • Spot fish eagles, kingfishers and herons
  • Easy to combine with an iSimangaliso tour

Good to know

Morning and late-afternoon cruises have the best light. Boat times depend on the operator’s schedule.
