Knysna

Visitors will find themselves spellbound by this much-loved holiday destination. There’s a host of exciting activities on offer, so plan to stay a few days to fit it all in. The Knysna Lagoon is a water sport haven – you can hire a boat and fishing gear; hop on board a ferry for a sunset champagne cruise or even go sailing. Scuba diving can be arranged at the dramatic Knysna Heads, the picture-perfect spot where the estuary meets the Indian Ocean.

The town is also famous for its delicious food and vibrant nightlife. There are over 50 restaurants, pubs and fast food outlets to choose from. The Waterfront has a wonderful atmosphere and nothing beats dining outdoors on a warm summer evening, with fresh Knysna Oysters and a locally brewed Forester’s Draught to complete the experience. Don’t miss the Pick ‘n’ Pay Knysna Oyster Festival which is a 10 day celebration of food, entertainment, sport and oysters.

Shoppers will delight in Knysna’s innovative stores where you can pick up handcrafted curios made from the indigenous yellow wood and other boutique novelties.
