More about Knysna Heads Adventure

Experience the diverse Knysna estuary, the iconic Knysna Headlands, and all the beauty our little piece of paradise has to offer on our Knysna Heads Adventure tour. This 45-minute tour starts at the Thesen Island Marina and traverses the Knysna estuary. Being one of the most diverse estuaries in South Africa one can sight an array of birdlife and a Cape Fur Seal or two frolicking in the placid waters. The tour takes you up to the sentinel cliffs known as the Knysna Heads, one of the most dynamic estuary openings in the world! Depending on the conditions at the Heads we may pop out to sea to show you the unique coastline, rock formations, and caves. This is an incredibly informative tour with interesting facts about the host of species that can be found here like the Knysna Seahorse, notable geological features, and cultural and historical anecdotes like the famous shipwreck at the Eastern Head – The Paquita. This trip is perfect for the whole family!
