It was a great day out on the Knysna Lagoon, our skipper was very knowlegable and entertaining! - Corne
Crappy weather but was still a lovely cruise. The skipper was very informative and very nice. Nice and slow out on the waters to the Heads. - Landi
It was a great cruise, we really enjoyed the views and hearing the stories from our guide/skipper. - Midgley
The boat itself was clean,comfortable and, and balanced in the water. The tour guide was very insightful and was able to respond to all our questions. He is a cautious driver and gave so much information about the lagoon,the heads and was able to educate us on the different species of fish Knysna have. My family and I are definitely go back. - Tshenolo
The Knysna Heads Boat tour was a wonderful experience and we had the greatest time enjoying the whole tour and our snack platter, that was very delicious. The tour guide (think his name was Justin) did a really good job making everyone on board feel welcome, made us laugh and his knowledge of the area was very insightful. We were on our honeymoon and we would definitely recommend this cruise, especially a sundowner. - WF
