The Western Cape region
Western Cape enjoys mild winters and pleasant summers, rainfall is moderate throughout the year and there are refreshing sea breezes. Golden vineyards, sun-drenched orchards, beaches, silent forests, sweeping lakes and beautiful views make this region a delight.
These are just a few of the countless activities and attractions available in the area.
Walking - The Knysna Forest has many designated easy walks.
Golf - play on Knysna's three 18 hole courses, namely Knysna Golf Club, Pezula and Simola, or choose from the numerous courses this area has to offer, such as Fancourt at George.
Abseiling and Scuba Diving - at the Knysna Heads and other destinations within easy driving distance.
Dolphin and Whale Watching boat trips operate from Knysna and Plettenberg Bay - the whale season is mainly July-November; the dolphins play all year round.
Shark Diving Cage - experience the Great White Shark up close and personal at Mossel Bay.
Bungee Jumping - from the world's highest commercial bungee at Bloukrans Bridge, an hour and a half drive from Knysna. PLACES TO GO
Knysna Lagoon - take a boat trip around the lagoon and sail through the Heads Featherbed Nature Reserve - across the lagoon by boat, a drive to the top of the Western Head and opt to take the guided walk back down to the jetty.
