Knysna is fast becoming known as the Adventure centre
of the Garden Route,
with activities such as canoeing, abseiling, hiking, biking,
fishing, diving, creeking, paragliding and many more adrenalin

nature reserve, do a spectacular tractor trip up the Western
Heads and walk back through caves and along a beach to
the restaurant for a delicious lunch under the milkwood
trees.
 Visit
the Knysna Elephant Park where you can feed Harry, Sally
and Duma.
Wine and dine your way through a formidable
array of fine restaurants, seafood taverns, pubs, coffee
shops and eateries. Go birding at one of the many bird
hides.
Visit Millwood House Museum, which is
typical of the houses built during the
1880’s when gold was discovered in Millwood Forest
or spend time in one of the many art galleries.
Catch the Outeniqua choo-choo for a nostalgic
steam train trip to George.
Take a sunset cruise around the Knysna
lagoon on a yacht and enjoy Knysna oysters and champagne.
During winter and spring, one can expect
to have whales and dolphins for company whilst walking
on the beaches. You are within easy reach of beautiful,
unspoiled beaches, where the fishing is great, the scenery
often spectacular and the walking ideal with miles of
unbroken sand rock pools, rugged cliffs and headlands.
Inland the mountains bordering the coastal plane offer
a multitude of scenic and impressive drives.
There are no fewer than eight golf courses
between Mossel Bay and Plettenberg Bay. These include
the new Links Course at Fancourt - the venue for the Presidents
Cup in 2003. Other courses included are Mossel Bay, George,
Knysna, Sparrebosch (recently opened and situated in a
prime position on the Knysna Heads, Plettenberg Bay and
Goose Valley (a Gary Player designed course situated just
outside of Plettenberg Bay).
Knysna Lagoon is a protected Marine Reserve,
a 17 square kilometer expanse
of water fed by river and sea. Guarding the entrance to
the lagoon are two large sandstone cliffs called The Heads,
where the sea enters the lagoon.
Fishing, boating, baitcollecting and watersport activities
are regulated by
National Parks Board and help to protect and create a
sanctuary for the endangered Seahorse (Hippocampus capensis)
which breeds in the estuary,
as well as the rare Pansy shell found along the flat sand
banks. The Lagoon is ideal for swimming and there are
many excellent Scuba-diving and snorkeling spots.
Swimming beaches include Brenton-on-Sea,
Buffalo Bay and Noetzie.
