Step aboard a beautifully restored vintage wooden boat and experience a top-rated Knysna Lagoon boat cruise the way it was meant to be enjoyed — calm, scenic, and unhurried. Departing from Thesen Island, this guided cruise takes you across the sheltered waters of the Knysna Estuary toward the iconic Knysna Heads. Along the way, enjoy panoramic views of the lagoon, waterfront homes, birdlife, and dramatic sandstone cliffs. Your cruise takes place aboard Coquette, our over 100-year-old mahogany launch — a rare classic vessel that offers a smooth and elegant ride. Small group sizes ensure a relaxed, personal atmosphere. Food and drinks are available as pre-purchase, allowing you to turn your cruise into a sunset celebration or leisurely afternoon escape. Whether you're visiting Knysna for the first time or returning for another stay, this is one of the most authentic and highly rated ways to experience the lagoon.
