Experience the thrill of high-speed mountain biking through indigenous forests or dive the depths of the lagoon. Hire a kayak to tour the winding Knysna river, or – for an aerial view – raise the heartbeat with an abseil above the ocean’s crashing waves. Quad bike along a dusty path or ride a horse along the water's edge. Try fly fishing, rock-and-surf angling or deep-sea fishing. Or, for the daring, dune-surf down sandy waves, kite-surf on the waters of the lagoon or paraglide over the hills and lakes.

Ride the Outeniqua Choo-Tjoe – one of Africa’s last steam train services. Take a cruise across the lagoon or out to sea on a stylish yacht or a ferry. Hire a bicycle and tour the town ...or visit the Elephant Park and experience a closeness with nature unlike anything you’ve ever felt before.

Encircled by reserves and situated within a national park – in Knysna, there's nature wherever you look. The Knysna forests and the Indian Ocean, the Cape fynbos, freshwater lakes, saltwater lagoons and tidal estuaries are all easy to explore by car or on foot.

The flash of a Knysna loerie as it glides. The gentle swaying of a Knysna seahorse as it feeds. A right whale as it breaches just off shore...

Stroll on an unspoiled beach. Follow a hiking trail. Take in a sunset across the lagoon. Or listen for the haunting call of a fish eagle high above the river. Discover nature reserves, private game parks and the Knysna National Park on ferry tours, game walks and game drives. Dive shipwrecks or see fish in their natural habitat. Ride a bicycle. Take a walk. Or just breathe...
