Off the coast you can spot dolphins and balene.Inoltre is a place designated for bird watching (Fish Eagle, Saddle-billed Stork, European Honey-Buzzard, Cape Weaver, Herons ETCC)

Recommended equipment : A canvas with multipliers for birdwatching, a zoom all do to photograph the hippo out of the boat and a wide angle for the beautiful views.

Best months : South African summer is definitely more 'suitable for most of the activities and sightings, and in winter is ideal for whale watching.

How to get there : From the N2, exit to St.Lucia (whether you arrive from North, whether you arrive by SouthWest). Arrived in the country, you will find the entrance gate of which is to the south: you will see much of the park independently.

Visits : The entry is done with your own car (from the south, from St. Lucia) and costs R35 per person. There are other gate of entry, but need a jeep because there are very sandy. Council to get up to Cape Vidal, where you will see the dunes falling mare.A in St. Lucia, where I suppose you will stay, I recommend a ride on the boat for a close look at the community of hippos that live in the estuary.
