Fizemos um passeio de barco na Lagoa de Knysna ao fina do dia e foi uma experiencia muito interessante e agradavel. O tour permitiu-nos conhecer melhor a zona e aprender imensas coisas sobre a historia, a natureza e as particularidades do estuario. O guia foi extremamente simpatico, profissional e muito esclarecedor, tornando o passeio ainda mais envolvente. O cenario e lindissimo e torna a experiencia especial. Recomendamos vivamente este passeio a quem visita Knysna. - Neuza
