Knysna is situated in the heart of the garden route and is a perfect destination for setting up base to visit the rest of the region! Knysna is full of things to do and it is wise to spend at least 3 days there. Even with spending that much time there you generally find that you should have stayed longer as there is just so much to do!

There are many activities that can be done there. These include fishing and sailing on the Knysna Lagoon, Golfing at one of the pristine golf courses in the area! Other activities include abseiling, bungee jumping, quad biking, paragliding, and power glider flights. Also kayaking, canoeing, black water tubing, mountain bike trails, paintball, scuba diving and more. For keen hikers Knysna has many hiking trails. Bird, dolphin and whale watching are also very popular there. As you can see the list is practically endless.

If you love to shop Knysna boasts many shops and restaurants. (What doesn’t Knysna have??) The accommodation consists of B&B’s, self catering chalets and apartments. It truly is a beautiful setting!
