Knysna

Knysna is shaped by its estuary, the sandstone headlands known as the Heads, and the indigenous forests around the town. This combination of water, woodland and coast makes it a distinctive stop on the Garden Route.

The Eastern Head offers views across the estuary and out to the ocean. Forest walks, time on the waterfront and local excursions bring different perspectives on the area. Water-based activities should be arranged with suitable operators; the entrance at the Heads is not a general swimming or paddling area.

Include Knysna as part of a coastal journey or allow more time to explore the surrounding area. Our team can help match experiences, accommodation and onward travel to your preferred pace.
