Oyster Tour

Knysna

Activity Description

Our coastal town of Knysna and Oysters go together like champagne and caviar, sea and sky, summer breezes and cold beers … if you’re more than a little intrigued by oysters, then join us for the ultimate oyster experience on the spectacular Knysna Lagoon. Learn all there is to know about one of the world’s most loved delicacy, taste the difference between wild and cultivated oysters, all whilst cruising the lagoon to the Heads and surrounds.

Extra oysters are available on pre-order to enjoy on the boat.

Customer Reviews

It was a very pleasant and extremely interesting trip . We learnt about the oysters and the surrounding area whilst enjoying the boat trip with a knowledgeable and humorous skipper. Would thoroughly recommend - Mike smith


We really enjoyed the nice, relaxed boot trip in the lagune of Knysna with a great boat crew and lots of information regarding Knysna and Oysters. The Oysters tested very good and the wine as well. The group was mixed with South Africans and European's and we had fun from the beginning to the end. - Stocker Reto


The best experience ever. We had the best group with us. It was nice sharing the experience with the most kindest people from around the world. Our tour guides had to be the best ever. They allowed us to ask as many questions. They were very friendly and offered to take pictures of us. They allowed us to be as comfortable as possible. As for the oysters, I enjoyed them. - Xitshembiso Mumsy Makukule
