The imposing sandstone cliffs of the Heads form the gateway to the sea from the Knysna lagoon. In the 1800’s Knysna was a thriving port with many cargo ships braving the treacherous entry at the Head for safe harbour entry in the lagoon. The lagoon today is still one of South Africa’s most utilised stretches of water, with a wide variety of activities on its shores and waters. The area was designated a National Park in 1985, in order to restrict damage to the sensitive estuary ecology. There are many activities in the area - natural forests, beautiful beaches and spectacular cliffs to walk on, boating and fishing on the lagoon and deep-sea, kite surfing, canoeing, snorkling, diving ... the list goes on! Visit the Knysna Elephant Park, Birds of Africa, Monkeyland and one of the game sancutaries in the area. Boat based whale and dolphin watching in season (Aug - Nov). Man made entertainment includes three excellent golf courses, many restaurants and wonderful coffee shops. Tour the oyster company, local brewery or wooden bird carving factory. Small museums and churches are also worth a visit. For indoor relaxation, there are a number of wonderful spas that are an excellent option on a rainy day.
