Learn all about what makes Knysna such a special bay - uncover its unique biodiversity and its important role in maintaining the ecosystem of our oceans.

Hop onto the boat and learn all about the geological characteristics and the biodiversity of Knysna's estuarine and marine environment.

The Knysna Estuary has been named a Hope Spot by the organisation Mission Blue, which aims to protect ecologically unique areas that are essential to the good health of our oceans. The bay's salt marshes and intertidal mud flats in particular make it very important to the area's ecosystem. Moreover, its connection to the open ocean makes Knysna a hub for an array of marine animals, who come to the calm waters of the estuary to breed.

During your tour, you will take a look at all the reasons why our bay is so special, informing you on the way of the wonderful web of life that exists both above and beneath the surface. Aboard your boat, you will get to experience some of Knysna's marine life up close. Frequent sightings include dolphins, seals, penguins, and pelagic birdlife. We will also share historical and cultural anecdotes of the area, that will intrigue both holiday travellers and nature enthusiasts alike!
