Located in the Greater St. Lucia Wetland Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Rocktail Bay is known for its natural beauty, varied culture, and turtles. Each summer, turtles emerge from the Indian Ocean to lay their eggs on the shore. Nestled in South Africa’s breathtaking KwaZulu North Coast, the Rocktail Bay Lodge is one of the most remote and adventurous sites in the country. The lodge features eleven secluded treehouses on stilts among the lush forest. Visitors spend their days diving, fishing, and bird watching. For visitors with insatiable curiosity, educational trips, including a turtle research drive, can be arranged depending on the season. Rocktail Bay Map
