Customer Reviews

HUGE Thanks to Keon (our Captain for the afternoon) and Bjorn who made this Oyster Tour a really fun, interesting and enjoyable experience! We met at the Cafe just across from the waters edge, and once on the boat we appreciated the professional safety brief. We sailed on time and immediately felt safe as the guys expertly handled the craft out towards East Head, Knysna. They were both very friendly and informative and answered the groups' many questions about the area and the historic oyster farms. The fresh oysters (2 types) were expertly shucked by Bjorn and served with the optional seasoning of salt, pepper and 2 flavours of tabasco - absolutely delicious! The white wine (or beer if you prefer) was the perfect accompaniment and the 90 minute tour was perfectly timed. We can highly recommend this very reasonably priced event and will definitely return for another trip when next in Knysna. - Debbie


My husband and I had a great time on the Oyster tour. Our guide Justin was full of information and was really lovely to chat with. He answered all of our questions and gave us some really great insight into the area and the marine life. The tour was beautiful, lovely wines and lots of delicious oysters to enjoy! Thank you so much! - Sharon


Great fun and instructive. Good way to see the coast and stunning scenery and even spotted a seal! Fun international crowd on board too. Thanks! - Susan


Lovely tour. A pity they don't grow oysters anymore at the Knysna lagoon but our guide made it a worthwhile experience. He had good knowledge of the lagoon, sea life and surroundings. They served really nice white wine, (and we are picky!) and they oysters were really good as well - Eva


A great sunny day out! Oysters were so fresh and tasty, and the wine delicious. Thanks to the two Justin's for fantastic service. We had great laughs and Justin kept us knowledgeable about the area. Will definitely be back! - Marilize
