Golden Hours on the Lagoon

There’s nothing quite like watching the sun dip below the horizon from the deck of a boat on the Knysna Lagoon. With Knysna Charters, a sunset cruise becomes more than just a trip – it’s a moment to slow down, breathe in the salty air, and watch the light dance across the water as day turns to night.

Departing from Thesen Island Harbour Town, our cruises set the scene for an unforgettable evening. The Knysna Lagoon, framed by the dramatic Knysna Heads, is one of South Africa’s most iconic natural landmarks. As you glide across its calm waters, you’ll be treated to ever-changing colours in the sky, reflections on the water, and a front-row seat to Knysna’s unrivalled beauty.

Perfect for couples, groups of friends, or anyone looking to experience Knysna from a different angle, our sunset cruises offer the ideal blend of relaxation and adventure. You’ll have time to sit back and soak up the views, enjoy the fresh coastal breeze, and share in the magic of golden hour on the water. The calm pace of the lagoon makes this experience accessible to all ages, and every cruise is designed to highlight the region’s natural splendour.

Knysna Charters’ Activity Desk at Heads Up Coffee and Co, Thesen Island Harbour Town, is the starting point for your sunset journey. From there, our friendly team ensures a seamless experience as you board and set off on your evening adventure. Whether you’re celebrating something special or simply want to end the day in style, a sunset cruise with Knysna Charters is the perfect way to do it.
