Turtle Tours St Lucia South Africa
Join Shoreline Boat, Walking and Turtle Tours while in the St Lucia South Africa area. The company was recently awarded the Turtle Tour concession within the iSimangaliso Wetland Park. The area in which they operate extends from Cape Vidal beach to Leven point a distance of 27km along pristine beach. The area is well known for its Leather Back and Logger Heads that return to the area year after year to lay their eggs.
Departures vary on the tides and therefore each departure will not be the same as the previous night. Making this adventure even more thrilling is the fact that one will also enjoy a night drive enroute to Cape Vidal, incredible scenery as one travels 28km to the beach while within the very first world heritage site in South Africa. This reserve boasts magnificent wildlife sightings including Leopards.

Watch in absolute awe as she lays her eggs and then once again makes her way back into the ocean. Did you know that each female turtle will always return to her birth beach and that all males will never again touch sand.
The Turtles remain a protected specie due to poaching world wide through education we hope that we can contribute to their plight.
