Overall a fun activity. Nothing very special, but it is nice to be close to the hippos and get information about them. It was said that there would be tea and coffee on board, that was not the case. Wasn't really necessary now. There were no crocodiles to be seen, but there were many birds. There were also no crocodiles, so perhaps we should call it the Bird and Croc tour ;-) Guide was very passionate and pleasant! Spoke clear English.

Short boat trip in the company of a few people and a guide who explains everything there is in the estuary. I recommend this activity because you can really see the hippos up close and the sunset over the estuary is superb.
