Best Places to Visit in Knysna

Nestled along the stunning Garden Route in South Africa, Knysna beckons with its breathtaking scenery, vibrant culture, and an array of activities for every kind of traveler. Whether you're a nature lover, an adventure seeker, or simply in need of a peaceful retreat, Knysna has something special for you. And when it comes to exploring the best of this coastal paradise, Happytripz is your go-to for unforgettable excursions.

Knysna Heads

For a start, no visit to Knysna is complete without witnessing the majestic Knysna Heads. These sandstone cliffs guard the entrance to the Knysna Lagoon from the surging Indian Ocean and offer panoramic views that are truly postcard-worthy. Hiking trails and lookout points provide different perspectives of this natural wonder. To experience the Heads in all their glory, click here for the location.

Featherbed Nature Reserve

Another gem is the Featherbed Nature Reserve, a pristine private reserve that is only accessible by ferry. Here, you can immerse yourself in the local flora and fauna on a guided tour, which includes a drive up the reserve's hills and a leisurely walk back down through coastal forest and fynbos. The views of the lagoon and the Heads from the reserve are simply breathtaking.

Knysna Forest

For a touch of enchantment, the ancient Knysna Forest is a must-visit. It's one of the last remaining pockets of indigenous forest in South Africa and is home to a variety of wildlife, including the elusive Knysna elephant. Hiking and mountain biking trails wind through the dense canopy, and the forest's mystical atmosphere is something out of a fairy tale. Learn more about the forest's history and ecology on the Wikipedia page.

Waterfront and Thesen Island

After a day of adventure, unwind at the bustling Knysna Waterfront, with its array of shops, restaurants, and cafes. Or take a leisurely stroll across to Thesen Island, a marina development that offers a unique blend of residential, commercial, and tourist facilities. The island's laid-back vibe is perfect for enjoying a sunset cocktail or a gourmet meal.

The forest canopy tour was an exhilarating experience. Gliding between the tall trees, with the wind in your hair and the sun peeking through the leaves, felt like flying. The guides ensured safety at all times and made everyone feel comfortable, regardless of their experience level.

Taking the sunset cruise was the highlight of our visit. The colors of the sky as the sun dipped below the horizon were indescribable. The crew on board were friendly and made sure everyone had a great time, offering blankets to those who felt chilly.

Our day trip to the nearby vineyards, arranged by Happytripz, was a delightful experience. The guide was incredibly well-informed about each vineyard we visited, and the wine tasting sessions were superb. The landscapes were picturesque, making it not just a taste adventure but also a feast for the eyes.
