5Knysna sunset cruise ... just perfect!
Great experience on a 40ft yacht through the Knysna heads and into the sea. Skipper and crew were great. Loved the whole experience!
5The perfect Knysna sundowner, a must do trip!
What a wonderful experience! We had a lovely evening .The weather was perfect and the sea was calm so we could enjoy our full sailing trip hugely! Everything on board was perfect: very friendly crew; clear safety instructions and good life-vests for everyone. Kind help to put the life-vests on. We felt perfectly safe and the braai fillet with salads was roasted to perfection. Warm heartedly recommended sundowner (bubbles included!) trip !

About Knysna
Knysna is a lagoon town on South Africa's Garden Route, guarded by two sandstone cliffs called the Heads and backed by ancient forest.
Knysna lies on the Garden Route in the Western Cape, around a broad, tidal lagoon whose narrow entrance to the sea is guarded by two sandstone cliffs, the Knysna Heads. The waterfront has boats, craft markets and cafés, and homes cluster on Thesen Island. The surrounding forest, the largest of South Africa's indigenous forests, shelters the Knysna turaco, a green bird with red wings, and a few secretive elephants.
