Allow us to plan your day with boat tours on Lake St. Lucia, Game drives, Horse Trails, Whale Watching, Kayaking safaris, Cultural village, Deep sea Fishing & a choice of three golf courses nearby.

Along the natural and unspoilt coastline, golden beaches stretch as far as the eye can see, lapped by warm blue waters from the Indian Ocean and bounded by the world's highest vegetated sand dunes. Whales and schools of dolphins frequent this spectacular coastline, also the natural breeding habitat for the leatherback and loggerhead turtles.

These waters are renowned for big game fishing and the much sought after marlin are landed here. The warm Mozambique current attracts a kaleidoscope of colourful tropical fish that feed off coral reefs.

Bird Watching

Part of the South African Birding Route, St. Lucia is very popular with serious Bird Watchers. The largest estuarine system in Africa with an area of 325 square kilometres, situated in coastal Kwazulu-Natal. The shallow waters attract large numbers of water birds. There are mud flats, reed beds, flood plains and a well-wooded shoreline. Due to the size of the lake it is not possible to get access throughout. We visit an area on the western shore where there is a superb lodge overlooking the flood plain at False Bay.

Beautiful Beaches

If you enjoy relaxing on the sand or going for walks along the beach you wont be disappointed in St. Lucia. With its lakes, lagoons, freshwater swamps and grasslands, St. Lucia supports more species of animal than the better known parks and deltas in Southern Africa.
