Voted South Africa’s number one favorite town not once but twice, the beautiful seaside Knysna is a vacationer’s paradise, featuring everything from delish cuisines and boutique shops to cutesy BnBs and amazing sights and attractions. To help you plan your trip, here is an in-depth list of the best things to do in Knysna, South Africa.

The British Royal Navy once called them the world’s most dangerous harbour entrance. Visit the eastern head for great views, and you can also see the Featherbed Nature Reserve from the western head.
