Ski-boat heading through the surf on the Indian Ocean

St Lucia &
Deep Sea Fishing

The Indian Ocean coast of KwaZulu-Natal: fishing when the weather allows, hippos by boat and the beach at Cape Vidal.

St Lucia With Dinkwe

From the Bush to the Indian Ocean

St Lucia is a coastal town in KwaZulu-Natal, on South Africa's Indian Ocean coast. Come for the fishing, or finish a Kruger trip here with a few days by the sea.

Fishing always depends on the weather, and we will not pretend otherwise. On some trips you share the boat with a combined group, and on any fishing day you can add a private boat for US$1,000.
