Overview
Available languages
1 hour 40 minutes
Mobile ticket
Cruise in ultimate style while you discover all the unique coves and bays on the way to the famous Knysna Heads. We cruise alongside the beautiful turquoise Featherbed Bay where it’s very protected and one can cool down with a swim in summer. Sit back and relax, enjoy the feeling of the sun on your face, and the wind in your hair, while viewing the beautiful town of Knysna framed by the Outeniqua mountains. Our captain will be sure to tell you about all the secret spots in Knysna to explore. Oysters, drinks and snacks are available on pre-order.
Remember to bring your camera, hat, sunscreen, binoculars and something warm, as it can get cooler on the water than on land, especially during the late afternoons.
Please bring your own beach towel, should you want to swim.

5.00It was a great experience. Stefan, our Skipper, was very friendly and chatty and happily answered all of our questions and told us a lot of things we didn't know that was really interesting. Would 10/10 do it again!
