Wonderful family experience - We enjoyed a comfortable boat cruise up the estuary. Thobile was a very adept skipper, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. She got us up close and personal to both hippos and crocs as well as some unexpected waterbuck and many birds. We had a wonderful time. Perfect for kids!

Great tour - Great tour, although the number of animals (both the crocodiles - only 1 - and hippos) was disappointing. Hippos were ashore and then you hardly see them because of tall grass / reeds. Luckily I saw another 5. Care is okay and guide / captain is knowledgeable.

Amazing - We had an amazing experience booking with Heritage Tours. The team was friendly, responsive, and accommodating from start to finish. The boat trip was absolutely incredible, well-organized, and informative. We truly appreciated the service and would highly recommend Heritage Tours to anyone looking for a memorable and informative experience.

Fabulous hippo viewing tour - What a fabulous morning out for the family. Our guide, Thobile was equal parts friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgable and her love for the area and the animals was infectious. We got some amazing sightings of the hippos and managed to even see a croc (they are notoriously difficult to find). I would whole heartedly recommend this company for your tour at St. Lucia (and try get on the boat with Thobile!).

A beautiful meeting, a wonderful place! - Thank you very much Thobile for your kindness and professionalism. Meet at 7am for this cruise at sunrise, we saw the hippo pods. It is a very nice place. The cruise lasts 2 hours. Thobile is friendly and passionate, she made us have a great time. I recommend +++

Wonderfull trip to a lot of hippos - Thanks to Thobile we had a great experience while shipping to several hippo families. On the way, she showed us also several birds, especially the snake eagle. It was so cude how happy she was, when one hippo opened his mouth widely.

First time - It was good experience, the challenge was the rain and little bit cold. Couldn't see the crocodiles because of the rain.

Well... - A little long-winded. Few animals, always just Hippo families, and boating. Apart from a small crocodile, only Hippos seen swimming...
