Great boat trip
Z7745KDfranziskas, Mar 2025
The boat trip was great! We saw some seals and the coastline of Knysna. The people are super nice and have informed us several times about bad weather. We were pushed on a tour on a day with better weather. An overall great experience!
Must Do in Knysna!

Simply everything around succeeded. We have seen dolphins and a great coastal landscape with many caves. The sea was out but the driver compensated fantastically.
Boat trip beautifull

RonPG, Dec 2024
Great experience! Fantastic boat and great skipper, who tries his level best to turn this into an adventure. Provides for a lot of information on everything at sea. Being after season we weren't fortunate to see whales. But the dolphins and seals were nice to see.
