Fantastic Hippo Sighting Trip - We really enjoyed the trip on Shoreline. Our skipper was fantastic and she had lots of information that she shared with us. We saw 3 bloats of Hippos. It was really interesting learning about them. We also got very lucky and saw a crocodile. Our skipper also pointed out many of the birds that were in the area on our cruise. The staff in the office was very helpful to adjust the time of our trip. We found plenty of parking by the dock. There are some vendors by the dock that were very friendly.

Fun tour checking out the river for hippo's and crocs - We had a lovely time checking out the river for hippo's and crocs. Hippo's in abundance and we were really lucky to also see two crocs sunbathing. Our guide was fun and knowledgable. I don't remember her name but it starts with a T. T, you were great!

An experience to remember with our kids - Amazing experience to take our kids (8 & 3yo) to see the Hippos, very knowledgeable and friendly Captain. The kids could see out the boat easily as the front had perspex. Will definitely go back to Shoreline Cruises as they only take small groups and the layout of the boat almost makes you feel closer to the wildlife.

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!

Nice boat trip - Well arranged, but the number of animals we saw was disappointing.
2 crocodiles, 14 hippos and an osprey.
The hippos were pretty close though
