Knysna Charters- great experience - Joined Knysna charters for a relaxing boat trip lead by Justin. He was extremely informative about the Estuary and my family and I left with a lot of new information! It was educational, comfortable, peaceful and entertaining. Highly recommend 👏

Boat trip - Lovely relaxing cruise, seeing the nature both under water and on the shoreline. Saw kingfishers and a seal. Lovely relaxed chat through tranquil waters up the the turbulent wind against tide of the head. Great conversation and ralexed cruise

Breathtaking family sundowner cruise - The natural beauty of the Knysna heads was breathtaking. The boat cruise provided the perfect viewpoint for this.
Our skipper was very skilled and professional and made everyone feel right at home. Even our small children really enjoyed this trip.
I can very strongly recommend this experience to any family.

A perfect way to spend an hour or so on the water - Great guide - we were the only couple on the boat. Really informative re wildlife and The Heads, and good fun as freak storm closed in. Always felt safe though

Beautiful scenic boat tour - Perfect way to see Kynsna, The Heads and the estuary. Vince was an excellent skipper, full of knowledge about the area and the flora and fauna as well as the history of the area. Very good value and highly recommended

Poorly designed cruise - They somehow made it boring. The 90-minute cruise out to the Heads would normally take 30 minutes at a normal speed. Instead of spending the remaining hour cruising around the lagoon, the boat just goes VERY, VERY SLOWLY out and back. You mostly see the hotels along the shore.
