Awesome experience - The journey was amazing and the trip for our 20 years marriage anniversary which was awesome. The captain Siyabonga was also great. Give him a raise. St Lucia is great destination. We found peace and renewable journey to the next decade.

Great opportunity to see hippos! - So happy we were able to do this excursion. We came from a cruise ship so had an hour taxi ride to and from, but so worth it! Our taxi driver did not take us to the correct drop off point, but a kind person contacted the tour operator who obliged us and we were quickly on our way to the boat. There were 8 people and the boat driver. The boat was set up so that we were all able to view and take photos easily. The driver was knowledgeable and made us all feel secure in what we were doing. We saw so many hippos! Would highly recommend this tour!

The highlight of our St Lucia stay - My friends and I decided to take the early morning coffee and croissants boat tour. This was one of the very best tours I have been on. Our guide Siyabonga made the experience memorable - the extensive knowledge which he shared freely, the delightful continental breakfast and his ensuring that we were safe and comfortable on board - sad when it was time to turn back at the end of the tour!!

Great tour guide, memorable experience! - The guide was very informed, friendly and professional. Although we didn’t see any crocs, we saw many hippos and birdlife and the boat was very comfortable. The tour was interactive which we enjoyed as well 👍🏼
