Explore Knysna Lagoon by boat and discover this iconic natural jewel of South Africa not far from Plettenberg Bay!

Knysna Lagoon is a vast freshwater lagoon surrounded by lush forests and hills. Located on the southern coast of South Africa in the Western Cape province between Sedgefield and Plettenberg Bay, this lagoon is also known for its rich marine fauna. What's more, it is linked to the Atlantic Ocean by a narrow entrance formed by 2 imposing rock formations: the Knysna Heads.

Join this boat trip in Knysna Lagoon and discover this exceptional site with your own eyes! Accompanied by a professional guide who knows the area like the back of his hand, you'll also have the chance to learn many anecdotes about this natural site, its history and its flora and fauna. Bring your favourite drinks and snacks and get ready for an unforgettable experience!

The Knysna lagoon boat trip lasts 1 hour, but you'll need to allow a little more time on site. You will arrive at the meeting point 30 minutes early to meet the staff, sign the paperwork and listen to their briefing on the activity and the itinerary of your boat trip in Knysna. Then it's time to embark!

During the sea trip, you'll enjoy the exceptional scenery of one of South Africa's most beautiful lagoons! Prepare to be amazed by the turquoise blue waters of the lagoon and the lush greenery of the surrounding area. First, you'll pass through Brenton-on-Lake, a picturesque green setting where you can see deer and fish eagles! Then you'll continue on to the Heads. Separated by around 300 metres of water, the Knysna Heads are the promontories of the two peninsulas that surround and form the Knysna Lagoon. From here, you'll turn around and head back to the starting point of the tour, where your Western Cape boat trip ends.
