As one of South Africa's most alluring destinations, the Garden Route is an exquisite 300km stretch of coastal splendour, surrounded by diverse natural assets and exciting attractions that appeal to all ages and varied interests. Striking Indian Ocean vistas, amazing hiking trails, enchanting forests and renowned Game Drives and Safaris wait to be enjoyed.

The Garden Route is home to a selection of unique and stunning coastal suburbs, each offering something special. Take in the unsurpassed surrounding beauty from a memorable sunset cruise in Knysna, complete with wine and oysters, or enjoy a family outing to Plettenberg Bay's The Crags for farm and forest horse trails in a peaceful setting. For fitness enthusiasts seeking out the best hiking trails available in the Garden Route, Robberg Hike is as challenging as it is rewarding, with breathtaking views of the rugged coastline and glimpses of the Cape Fur Seal Colony. Indalu Game Reserve in Mossel Bay gives visitors the opportunity to connect with elephants in person, and is a popular family-friendly activity. In summer, an array of marine and water tours appeal to locals and travellers alike, from incredible Guided Snorkel Trips in Stormsrivier Village to Free Diving Marine Safaris and Dolphin Encounters in Plettenberg Bay.

Of the most popular attractions in the Garden Route, families with kids won't want to miss the opportunity to visit Monkeyland, Birds of Eden & Jukani Sanctuary, three award winning sanctuaries with so much to offer. For the ultimate adrenaline rush, book a Short AfriCanyon Trip river adventure or try the Green Route Tubing SUP combo.

1.5 Hour Knysna Sailing Cruise

Springtide Charters

Activity Type: Marine & Water Tours Location: Knysna, Western Cape

Although this is our shortest sailing cruise and excludes catering, you will still thrill at the wind in the sails and the beautiful scenery out through the Knysna Heads and along the spectacular coastline. If you love sailing, this experience offers you a little taste of everything. From the calm waters of the lagoon, through the magnificent Knysna Heads and on to the vast expanse of the open ocean, you and your family can enjoy many different aspects of a day at sea with our highly experienced crew. This rare opportunity to combine lagoon and sea sailing means you can feel the rush of the wind in the sails and perhaps even see dolphins and whales, and also float merrily along on the tranquil lagoon, enjoying the view. All our trips are ocean going trips and are weather and sea conditions dependent. Only the skipper of the vessel can make a judgement call on these conditions which are determined on the day of the charter. Conditions are influenced by tide, wind direction & speed and sea swell, therefore going out through the Knysna Heads is never guaranteed.
