      There is no better way to end off the day - enjoying wine and oysters on a relaxing boat cruise and taking in the magnificence of Knysna as our African sun starts to set over the lagoon. Indulge your inner romantic and join us onboard our "Oyster Boat" as we head off slowly towards the impressive Knysna Heads, and take in the splendor of the tranquil lagoon as the sun sets on another perfect day in Africa. Relax while you enjoy a glass of wine with a few fresh local oysters. The cruise is slow and leisurely, ultimately relaxing and one can't help but just sit back, and take it all in! The sunset cruise is a fully guided cruise and is inclusive of complimentary white wine and oysters for tasting.

      Knysna Charters- great experience
      Joined Knysna charters for a relaxing boat trip lead by Justin. He was extremely informative about the Estuary and my family and I left with a lot of new information! It was educational, comfortable, peaceful and entertaining. Highly recommend 👏

      Quad Bike Fun!
      Was an amazing experience! Very well organised. Friendly, helpful guides giving us information about restaurants and activities in the area. I would highly recommend this activity for some outdoor fun, lots of dust and stunning views.

      Disappointing
      The guys at the Knysna Charters are racist. On our visit there, there were a couple of people waiting to go on the tours, some like us were going on the oyster tour and some just the normal tour, when the time came for our skipper to take us to the boat, instead of separating us by the type of tour we chose they separated us based on race. So one boat was only blacks and the other boat was only whites.

      Invigorating fun
      What an awesome experience!!! DUSTY but invigorating. Beautiful views. The quad bikes are 300 cc. Sturdy and fast. The tour guides are friendly and helpful. They recorded a nice video of the group passing around a bend giving a nice shot of each individual. 10/10.

      The best way to explore the forest
      We took our 8 year old son for a quad bike tour through the forest and it was so much fun. It was my first time on a quad bike as well as my son’s. He sat with my husband on his bike and had the best time. The guides were super friendly and accommodating. Can definitely recommend this activity. It was the highlight of our holiday. Well worth the price. Some advice: don’t wear light colours and take some wet wipes with you - you’re going to come back covered in dust!

      Poorly designed cruise
      They somehow made it boring. The 90-minute cruise out to the Heads would normally take 30 minutes at a normal speed. Instead of spending the remaining hour cruising around the lagoon, the boat just goes VERY, VERY SLOWLY out and back. You mostly see the hotels along the shore.

      Excellent oyster tour
      Lovely oyster tour with Knysna charters, the wine and oysters tasted good but more important the crew was very friendly and enthusiastic, they had answers to all our questions. Certainly a must do while being in Knysna!

      Boat trip
      Lovely relaxing cruise, seeing the nature both under water and on the shoreline. Saw kingfishers and a seal. Lovely relaxed chat through tranquil waters up the the turbulent wind against tide of the head. Great conversation and ralexed cruise

    Wonderful time! I had Justin as my captain and he was fantastic. The boat ride was smooth, the sights were excellent. Justin had me try a couple of different types of oysters from the bay/lagoon and I drank some nice white wine to go with it. Justin is from the area and I feel like he told me so much about the town, the history, and the people that I might not have learned otherwise. Had some good laughs too. Classy guy, great cruise. Highly recommend!
