Excellent tour. Pleasant boat ride. Very pleasant and knowledgeable guide. Easy trek down the Kynsna head with some stunning views. Good way to explore the Knysna heads. - Viraj
Very enjoyable. The views are magnificent. The walk downhill was manageable even though I had a knee replacement 2 years ago. It is worth the effort. I would love to come again - Lydia
The Featherbed Eco Experience was absolutely wonderful. The guides were knowledgeable and fun, the views were absolutely stunning and we really enjoyed the variety that this tour offered. From the boat ride to the drive up the mountain to the very manageable hike down to the sea caves and the walk back along the beach, there really was something for everyone. The sea caves were majestic and an absolute highlight of our trip to Knysna. - Tamsyn
Interesting tour, the guide was great and told us a lot of things. I really raccommand this tour to visitors of the gardenroute. Thank you! - Gerda
The start was a bit ridiculous. The show from the boatman was not necessary. The guide was perfect and her explanation clear. Spectacular walk. All by all a bit expensive. By coming back on the mainland, the bar was closed, and I wanted to try the oysters... - Marc
