Magnificent Views
Apr 2021
We were here on a clear day and had some magnificent views.
The Heads are amazing. Especially when you think of how hundreds of years ago that sailing vessels made it through. And that was without the modern navigational equipment.

A little slice of paradise.

It is a bit of a mission to get there, but well worth the drive and effort. Some nice little braai areas and a stunning little beach.

Pretty, but just one of many stops

Pretty cool quick stopover on The Garden Route. Worth a few minutes off the main road, but not a destination in and of itself. You'll "see it" within 15 minutes and be ready to get back on the road.

Artwork of local rasta was eyecathing.The breathing taking scenery of the boats and where the seawater forms a lagoon where families can take boattrips and snorkle.Knysna Heads were really worth the trip.Buffallo Bay the water were babyblue and the surfers really catch some good waves.Seeing the local children learning to surf and playing beach soccer were refreshing.Our stay at Crescent Cottage were the best.Me and travel companion felt like royolty.Ruben and Lesley were the best.Cyclist and joggers inthe morning were friendly and made my morning walks a delight.I feel refreshed and full of enery after my trip to Knysna.Im ready to take on an challanges take comes my way.Thank God for making this trip possible

Some stunning views and great photo opportunities. A must visit, and a short stroll to get to them which is easily accessible.

When you visit you can drive to the top and have a stroll on the highest peak of the heads. To whatch the water from above is breathtaking. A must must do.

Such a pity that there was Covid 19 restrictions during our stay. Would have loved to take a boat out to sea

The Heads can be visited either by land or by sea. Park at the East Head Cafe and experience The Heads by land along the various rocky paths and lookout points. One can also drive up to the Coney lookout point for a magnificent 360 degree view of the sea, Heads and Lagoon. Then visit East Head for a coffee, drink and meal. Seeing The Heads from the sea is even more spectacular. We have the privilege of owning a boat so visit The Heads by sea often. However, there are many charter companies that offer Heads excursions from the harbour or Cruise Cafe.

Estarei em Knysna em dezembro e terei pouco tempo. Chegarei no fim da tarde, depois retornarei para dormir no Knysna Elephant Park. Então, para Knysna Heads, sobra somente o fim da tarde. É melhor ir de carro? Há opção de passeio de barco privado, já que o horário é especial? De carro, como proceder?
Obrigado.

We had lunch at the Waterfront at The Dry Dock. The oysters were fantastic and so was the steak.
