Tailored to you

Knysna is the jewel of the Garden Route — and this tour combines two of its greatest experiences. Paddle a guided kayak tour across the tranquil Knysna Lagoon, surrounded by the Outeniqua Mountains and the famous Knysna Heads (two massive sandstone cliffs guarding the lagoon entrance). Spot kingfishers, herons, and possibly the rare Knysna seahorse. Then reward your effort with a world-class oyster tasting at a waterfront restaurant overlooking the Heads.
