Very exciting boat trip! we saw hundreds of dolphins and nearly believed to have seen a whale too! an unforgettable experience, a high speed boat ride but at the same time very safe, we had 2 small kids with us and they still talk about it one year later. Thanks to the team! Felix

The trip we had with them was totally awesome. They were friendly and very accommodating. We had to change our reservation at short notice and it was no problem for them at all. They actually took us 15km out to sea to find a pod of dolphins which I believe is not something they usual do. They get full marks from us!

Another fantastic experience on the Knysna Eco Boat with Marlin. Very informative and very enjoyable and going through the Heads is such a memorable experience. Thank you!

You’ll discover Knysna on the Garden Route; it’s charmingly set between the Knynsa Lagoon, Indian Ocean and the Knysna forest.
