I had a two hour boat trip on St Lucia River, noth of the bridge. Our guide (and boat captain) was a very friendly and polite man. He told us a lot about the lagoon, the mangroves, the environment and - of cause - about the animals we saw there. We were close to the Hippos and rather close to the crocs, we saw some antelopes and an eagle! It was a great experience that I'd like to repeat at my next visit.…

Pick up was spot on time and we collected one other family and left to a rather run down embarkation pier which was quite the obstacle course to get to the boats. None the less this was all part of the excitment. Sadly no crocs but saw plenty of hippos and a great sunset served with coffee, tea, hot chocolate and fruit. Enjoyed it and would recommend.…

This was our second trip to the gem of a town St Lucia - one of the few places in the world I am sure where you have the bush (safari for overseas visitors) and the beach - all in one place. Kian and his team are extremely knowledgeable, passionate and professional. The tours r absolutely fantastic. We have done so many now and many more than once. The sunset and sunrise Estuary tours r beautiful. The game drives r definitely highlights. The night drive is spectacular. My teenagers absolutely love the Unimog. I don’t know how Kian spots those tiny chameleons. We stayed at EcoLodge for both visits - the food is great and the beds are really comfortable with quality linen. We will definitely be back. Hopefully Jan 2022 and would love to do the overnight Turtle tour - definitely a bucket list item. Thanks to everyone at Shakabarker for making both our holidays truly spectacular. …

We had a great experience with Shakabarker tours. We saw lots of hippos and crocodiles on our boat trip. Kian shared interesting facts about the animals and area. We also had delicious hot drinks and snacks, while enjoying the beautiful sunset. Highly reccommended.
