If you're the active type, try abseiling, canoeing on the lagoon, or explore the Knysna forest by foot, on a horse, bicycle or quad bike. Go deep-sea fishing with the local fishermen or spot whales (in season) and dolphins while paragliding from the dunes.

Or go the African way - on a walking tour through out vibrant townships, including a visit to our Rastafarian community. Or learn to play one of those African drums at the drum cafe!

With the sheltered lagoon in its midst, Knysna is also the perfect place to go diving to those shipwrecks that didn't make it through The Heads (The Heads? - Those sandstone cliffs that guard the narrow entrance of the warm Indian Ocean into the Knysna Lagoon).
Or take your loved one on a sailing trip through The Heads, while sipping champagne and feeding each other locally grown oysters.

If you've been active enough, it may be time to go the beach. Wonderful, almost empty, sandy beaches are waiting for you at Brenton-on-Sea, Buffels' Bay, at Noetzie, Sedgefield or Wilderness. There is more beach than you can cope with...

And there's more... We haven't told you about the wonderful day trips to the Tsitskikamma National Park, Storms River, (do the Treetop Canopy Tour while you're there) and Nature's Valley. Or driving the Seven Passes Road to George, on your way to the Cango Caves and ostrich farms in Oudtshoorn. Or an 'animal day' at the Knysna Elephant Park, visit a nearby game farm and a visit to Monkeyland to finish it off.

Or may be you would like to explore the superb golf courses this area has to offer: the local Knysna Golf Course, the ever-challenging Pezula, or the newly built Simola. Within an hour's drive you will find Fancourt in nearby George or the Plettenberg Bay Country Club or Goose Valley in Plettenberg Bay. For more info on the golf courses or tee-off times click here or send us an e-mail. We've tried them all!
