Very pleasant - Nice pleasant boat trip. We were the only customers on the boat, whilst another company appeared full!! The boat was lovely, nice leather seats and looked the part. Refreshments available if needed. The captain/driver was a friendly young man who told us interesting facts about the lagoon. Sunset was okay, but that's just down to luck. Over-all I would recommend it for a pleasant afternoon/evening activity.

Knysna Heads by boat — open sea adventure with wild dolphins 🐬🌊 - Such an amazing way to see the Knysna Heads! 🌊 We looked at a few options and this was definitely the most exciting — heading out into the open sea. And as a bonus, we got to sail alongside a school of wild dolphins! 🐬 Thanks to our Captain Benjamin!

A wonderful boat ride - Was a lovely experience, we did the sunset cruise with my 3 year old. The skipper was super friendly, made sure my little one had a life jacket, we also managed to see some seals. I would definitely recommend it.

Relaxing trip! The skipper welcomed us very enthusiastically and gave a lot of explanation about the area. Very nice! - The skipper said the drink was not included. Champagne was on the ad, though. Because it was the skipper's birthday he bought! Was great!
