Fun family outing

Reg_G, Jul 2022

Our guide, Mdu, was very knowledgeable and shared some interesting info with us. The kids enjoyed the boat ride and seeing the hippos so close by. Definitely a worthwhile item to add to your St Lucia experience!

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Thank you so very much for such kind words.

Amazing, but...

Niels H, Nov 2019

Overall it has been a fantastic experience. A warm welcome from the gentleman at the „check in“. The tour itself was amazing, a lot of hippos as close as 2-3 meters. We saw birds and crocodiles, thanks to a very sharp eyed other tourist. And that is also the only complaint. Our tour guide had a lot of knowledge but was unfortunately busy at his cellphone all the time. That was a little bit of a bummer because we‘d have loved it, if he would have told us more about the flora and fauna.

Hippo tour anders dan we ons hadden voorgesteld

Wieke_K, Dec 2022

De tour op zich zou leuk zijn, maar onze gids had weinig belangstelling voor zijn gasten en de hippo’s. Zijn telefoon was belangrijker! We hebben wel redelijk wat hippo’s gezien, maar we bleven maar kort op die plaatsen liggen met de boot. Andere boten bleven veel langer liggen. Op de terugweg gingen we alle hippo’s waar we langs kwamen voorbij. De tour eindigde een half uur eerder dan zou moeten. Dit geeft wel aan dat de gids naar huis wilde. Erg jammer. Achteraf hoorden we dat er betere organisaties zijn in St. Lucia, dus ik zou anderen aanraden om bij je hotel of pension te informeren naar de beste tour!
