What an enjoyable experience. The operators were very friendly and informative at the meeting point. We were guided to the embarking point and were given a safety briefing on the boat. The skipper and the guide were informative and very friendly. The scenery was stunning. I would definitely recommend this trip - Glenn
Wir hatten eine ganz besonders schone Fahrt, da wir als Familie die einzigen auf dem Boot waren. Sowohl unser Guide als auch der Bootsfuhrer waren bezaubernd, haben uns sehr unterhalten und uns viele interessante Dinge gezeigt und erklart. Wir konnen die Fahrt sehr empfehlen! - Franziska
Excellent cruise around the harbour up to the Heads. - Robert
Ryan, our guide, made this trip one to remember with his knowledge of Knysna and keen sense of humour. He patiently answered all our questions and made the whole experience a fun one. Thank you Ryan! - Carla
Ein freundlicher, professioneller Start im Buro/Cafe auf Theisen Island. Dann Empfang durch einen aufgeschlossenen, jungen Skipper auf einem modernen, gepflegten Boot mit anschliessender Rundfahrt. Der Skipper erzahlte und unterstutzte die Rundfahrt mit angenehmen Kommentaren und beantwortete geduldig alle Fragen der Teilnehmer. Wurde ich immer wieder dort buchen. - Volker
