You board the catamaran at the waterfront and cruise on the beautiful Knysna lagoon. If the weather is good you will cruise through the heads to the Indian Ocean.

Experience the majesty as the ferries glide over shimmering waters, through souring gorges of the unspoilt Keurbooms River Nature Reserve.

Celebrate an eco-experience and savour the sights and sounds unique to this splendid area. Surrounded by cliffs of Table Mountain Quartzite (TMQ) to which indigenous flora cling precariously. Stop and hear the sounds of lyrical birdcalls and view our mammal species from the majestic river.

Our qualified skippers and guides will point out and identify the rich diversity of bird life occurring along the river, the nursery areas for many fish species, the specific habitats of the land mammals and the intricate workings of the indigenous forest.

Once our 5km destination has been reached, you’ll stop on a natural formed river beach where you are able to explore the forest close by strolling through pristine canopies of towering Yellowwoods and other indigenous trees, where after you can relax on a soft sand beach touched by tranquil amber waters in which you can refresh yourself before our return to civilization.
