Discover the coastal charm of South Africa’s Garden Route during this boat tour from Knysna!
Knysna is a beautiful seaside town located along South Africa’s world famous Garden Route, surrounded by pristine beaches and lush forest. Nestled between the larger towns of George and Plettenberg Bay, Knysna stands out due to its beautiful estuary where the Knysna river empties out into the sea. With its stunning scenery and rich marine life, Knysna’s turquoise lagoon is a must see when on the Garden Route, and there is no better way to do so than by boat ride!
This short boat excursion to the Knysna heads will give you an in depth look around the bay's beautiful landscape and give you a glimpse of the incredible biodiversity that lives in the area. On the way, your crew will discuss the geological particularities of the area, some historical anecdotes, as well as what makes the area so unique in terms of its ecosystem.
Not only will you be told about the rich marine life in these waters, you will also get a front-seat view to it. Frequent sightings include dolphins,cape-fur seals, penguins, and pelagic birdlife. The boat itself is designed for optimal sea life viewing, sitting low in the water with low rails and access on all sides – the highlight of your boat tour from Knysna will be the remarkable marine encounters and unblemished views in every direction of Knysna’s lagoon!
