From this jetty, you can hop on a two-hour boat cruise that takes you through the St Lucia Estuary, the heart of the iSimangaliso Wetland Park. It's the best way to get incredibly close to the local pods of hippos as they start to stir and see Nile crocodiles basking on the banks. The skippers are full of fascinating stories about the estuary's unique ecosystem and are experts at spotting wildlife.
