A trip to St. Lucia without a trip to Cape Vidal would be like taking a trip to New York and not going to see the Statue of Liberty. A truly unique trip where you could see the largest land animal (elephant) and the largest sea animal (whale). Cape Vidal is 32km from St. Lucia with access on a tarred road. We meander through a game reserve where it is VERY common to see rhinos, many different antelope, zebra, warthog plus a host of other animals before we arrive at the beaches. En route we stop and take a gentle walk up to the Mount Tabor view point where guests will be treated to outstanding views of the St. Lucia Lake and Estuary on one side and the Indian Ocean on the other. We also take guests up to the Whale Watching tower at Cape Vidal, although this is mostly during the Whale season (June-Nov), it is optional out of season for guests who may be lucky enough to spot dolphins.

The golden beaches provide a perfect snorkeling experience for novices and more experienced swimmers. Sightings of colourful reef fish, rays, octopus, fire fish, sea slugs, and numerous habitant reef feeding fish are common. Turtles can also be seen. For those who do not wish to swim –the ambiance of the golden beaches is enough. After you have spent some time on the beach a traditional South African “braai” (barbeque) is enjoyed under the casuarinas on the edge of the beach.

We then meander back to St. Lucia with an optional stop off at the crocodile center.
