AttractionsActivities | 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 pumping sports activities. | | | Take a ferry trip to Featherbed private 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. | | | Monkeyland is the worlds first free roaming multi-specie primate sanctuary. It has captured the hearts of visitors in its efforts to rehabilitate and free previously caged primates. The sanctuary is exceptional as it caters for several species of primates, and they are not caged. They are free to move about the forest, and this they do most harmoniously. | | | 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 from George to Mosselbay. | | | 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 Links Course at Fancourt. Other courses included are Mossel Bay, George, Knysna, Sparrebosch (recently opened and situated in a prime position on the Knysna Heads),Simola, 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. |
