No experience of Knysna is complete until experienced from the water.
Your journey starts from Thesen Island and will take you through the Knysna Lagoon up until the famous Knysna Heads before making your way back to the docks. Our experienced skippers will tell you about the history of the area, pointing out various unique features and facts, as well as the bird and marine life found in Knysna Lagoon. However, every cruise can be tailored for you, whether you want to experience the tranquility of the water, learn more about Knysna, or seek lively adventure with music and champagne – we’ll be your guide to a great experience!
You’re welcome to bring your own snacks and drinks, and make sure to bring a jacket as the weather can change rapidly in Knysna.
Please note: Guests are required to sign in at our office 15 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time. We are at TH35 Sawtooth building, Thesen Island Harbour Town Knysna.
If you can no longer make the date and time, kindly call us to change your booking or reschedule via email.
A relaxing time in the waters. The boat was clean,we were provided with a speaker for music,glasses for our drinks and comfy blankets to keep warm in the winds. The staff from 'reception' lady to the boat 'driver' were wonderful. We went as a family and because we went during off peak season, we had the boat to ourselves which was lovely. Highly recommend the cruise for the views and just to relax. - Mapule

His knowledge, friendliness, and passion for what he does truly stood out. He explained everything clearly, kept us engaged throughout the trip, and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable. Kgotso's excellent service and positive energy made the cruise not just enjoyable, but truly memorable. We appreciate his professionalism and the way he went above and beyond to give us a wonderful time. Highly recommended --- thank you, Kgotso, for an amazing experience! - Leratho
My daughter and me really enjoyed our trip. Our skipper was absolutely great. Answered our questions and giving us information whenever necessary. Was lovely how he also gave us time to drink in the tranquillity of our surroundings from time to time. Appreciated that he offered to take photos of us. Definitely recommending your business to everyone that visits Knysna. - June
