Excellent oyster tour - Lovely oyster tour with Knysna charters, the wine and oysters tasted good but more important the crew was very friendly and enthusiastic, they had answers to all our questions.
Certainly a must do while being in Knysna!

The weather was bad but the tour was wonderful! - The weather was bad but the tour was wonderful! Vincent, our captain, was thoughtful and insightful about the lagoon. A great 'shucker' of oysters. The Wine flowed as well as the conversation ' a great afternoon- even in the rain!

Oysters, Wine, Sea - what a combination! - Our skipper Justin was simply great.
He shared all about cultivated and wild oysters with us, whilst taking out to Knysna head.
The oysters, wine, out at sea, best company in the world.... it was a very happy day out to sea for us all.
And just seeing the change from the calm waters to the crashing waves beyond the head is WOAH!
No wonder a capable captain is needed to bring the ships into the heads. :)

More of a tasting, rather than a tour - We booked the Oyster tour in Feb of 2022 after having seen the advertisement in the Knysna harbour. All in all the experience was rather pleasant, as it was fun to drive out into the waters surrounding Knysna and enjoying the view from the waterside. As for the tour itself was it rather a wine & oyster tasting on the water, rather than an educational tour on the subject itself. Of course there was some interesting information provided on the topic, but maybe we were expecting something a bit different. Still a worthwhile experience, but not a must-book event in Knysna.

Disappointing - The guys at the Knysna Charters are racist. On our visit there, there were a couple of people waiting to go on the tours, some like us were going on the oyster tour and some just the normal tour, when the time came for our skipper to take us to the boat, instead of separating us by the type of tour we chose they separated us based on race. So one boat was only blacks and the other boat was only whites.
