- lili2768300GreatWas a great idea for an overcast rainy day- gorgeous views and the guide was very knowledgeable- kids enjoyed it as well
- RudiJvR9900amazing, fun, relaxing, informative.Had an amazing time with Mike the skipper, it was a little cold and he offered us blankets, amazing views, expert in the knowledge of the wild and made us feel involved
- aurora_ct00River safariWhat a really lovely and informative trip! We opted for the 16:30 slot and it was a wonderful introduction to Wilderness. Highly recommended
- 247LiveLife00Amazing Experience!I went with a group of friends on the Touws River, and what an amazing experience! The first part of the trip takes you to the river mouth, and then up to the pont over the river. It was still, and quiet, with amazing reflections in the still water. Lots of birdlife. Take your own drinks and nibbles
- Mooiskoot00Great way to experience bird life in the Wilderness lake areaA great morning cruise. Mike was an excellent guide and we learned a lot about bird behaviour and the lakes area. Especially enjoyed the section on the Duiwerivier. So serene with a beautiful sighting of the Knysna Loerie. The boat was comfortable and allowed great views from all sides.
- No_one_speciaI00Eco tripWas a wonderful and calming experience. Knowledge of the surrounding area was shown which made the trip much more entertaining and educational.
- Seaside2850700Wonderful eco river trip .... great value for money and well worth the visit!!I spent the morning on this river boat trip and saw the wild bird life within touching distance on the river bank! Nice slow pace on the 1.5 hour trip so I could take everything in. Mike is very knowledgeable about both the wildlife and their habitat. Don’t miss this trip as you travel down the Garden Route 🦅🙏🤗👍 x
- MarylouK7900Excellent finish to the pied King fisher trailStart the Pied Kingfisher trail walk at the Wilderness village end and pick up the wilderness River Safari ferry at the Tarentaal day visitors picnic site for a leisurely cruise back to the village. Lovely trip!
- NicoleC577000Family Sunset CruiseWe had a lovely cruise with Mike this evening, it was a beautiful and quiet trip with incredible views.
- Daphne62900Ferry trip and more!Phoned toq find out if ferry was running (as is suggested on Web site) although it was not running due to overcast and cold weather I was told a ferry back to camp site was not a problem. We were collected at the arranged time and had a knowledgeable commentary about the local birds. On getting back to campsite four people were picked up for the tour of the rest of the river, we were asked if we wished to carry on for the river trip, we did as the bird life was so good, we saw two different Kingfishers and other birds suck as the black Cuckoo Mike certainly knows his stuff and we had a most enjoyable afternoon. Good value for money as well.
- Vanessa36600Lifeline ConferenceReliable and friendly service. Our rather large group experienced a wonderful trip on the ferry from Fairy Knowe to Salinas. Delightful experience.
- mndepq00Bild toursMy wife and I went for 2 excellent tours both on the river and the inland lake with a very nice guide
- Doug O00MAGICAL ADVENTUREJust the best experience. One of Wilderness best attractions. Great host and so picturesque. Food for the soul on the serpentine at Ebb n Flow national park Wilderness - Garden Route
- Hazaa A00FantasticI think this is the most enjoyable trip I had in knysna. Thank you Mike. Everything went well. The sightseeing was Beautiful. I highly recommend this trip . Best regards Hazaa Alharbi
- SisonkeM300Worth every centWe went on this cruise with my boyfriend, it was worth everything cent we paid. It is very cheap and the guide, Mike was friendly. He explained the area thoroughly to us, saw quite a range of birds which he also explained to us. He also offered us some snacks and drinks ♥️ Thank you Mike♥️

Thank you Mike for a really super trip with you a couple of days ago while visiting Wilderness. I’d highly recommend your trip to anyone passing through. It was interesting to learn about the Touw river and surroundings, and to see (and hear!) some great wildlife. The purple heron, giant kingfisher and southern bulbuls calling to each other were highlights. The upper reaches of the river were beautiful and relaxing. What a wonderful way to spend a couple of hours or so on a lazy early summer afternoon. And your recommendation regarding Serendipity was serendipitous! We booked and ate there that same evening - just about to do a review for Rudolf and Lizelle too now! Cheers!

Awesome family trip, brilliant, patient and friendly guide, seemingly never tired of the children’s endless questions. Saw some beautiful bird life and stunning scenery

Very pleasant. Chris was very informative and his knowledge excellent. Wasn't able to book over the internet and found it a little difficult to locate. Suggest signage at entrance to nature reserve would be good.
