Find Your Balance on the Lagoon

Discover Knysna Lagoon from a whole new angle with Knysna Charters’ Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP) experience. Whether you’re gliding across calm waters at your own pace or testing your balance with friends, stand up paddleboarding is the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and fun.

No experience? No problem. SUP is beginner-friendly and easy to learn, making it suitable for almost anyone with a sense of adventure. After a quick introduction, you’ll be standing tall on your board and paddling across the lagoon in no time. The gentle waters of Knysna are ideal for first-timers, while more confident paddlers can push further to explore hidden corners and scenic stretches framed by the iconic Knysna Heads.

SUP offers more than just a workout – it’s a chance to slow down, connect with nature, and enjoy the lagoon’s peaceful beauty. Spot birdlife along the shoreline, take in panoramic views of the surrounding hills, or simply drift under the sun. Whether you’re seeking a solo escape, a fun outing with friends, or a family-friendly activity, paddleboarding ticks all the boxes.

Boards and paddles are provided, and life jackets are available to ensure a safe experience. All you need to bring is sunscreen, a hat, and a willingness to try something new. Just be prepared for a few laughs if you take a splash – it’s all part of the fun.

Knysna Charters operates from the Heads Up Coffee and Co Activity Desk at Thesen Island Harbour Town, the perfect launch spot for your lagoon adventure. From here, you’ll be on the water in minutes, ready to experience Knysna from the best possible vantage point – standing tall.
