The privately-owned Featherbed Nature Reserve is a pristine piece of land situated on the Western Head of Knysna and is only accessible by ferry.
A 3-hour excursion departs daily including a ferry cruise, 4×4 vehicle drive and a 2,2 km guided nature walk. The views are breath-taking, and the knowledgeable nature guides will share their insights of the area, fauna and flora.
A must-do trip while in Knysna and suitable for young and old. Good walking shoes are recommended as well as cameras, hats, sunblock in summer and a warm jacket in winter on the ferry.
This excursion includes:
a return ferry cruise on the Knysna Lagoon to the Featherbed Nature Reserve,
a 4×4 vehicle drive up the headland on Reserve, stopping at spectacular viewpoints,
a specialist guide offering information on Knysna’s history, fauna & flora,

An excellent guide and trip. Wonderful views. A good overall experience - Jenny
This is one of our favourite activities we did in South Africa. An amazing place to visit. And so lovely to arrive there by boat. One suggestion to the organizers would be to allow extra time for the walk part so you don't have to rush so much. - Bartolome
A pleasant afternoon enjoyed by our 32 children and 5 teachers. The pros: 1. The early booking and subsequent changes to the bookings were well handled (thanks, Margaret). 2. Great boat ride. 3. Well organised and professional tour. 4. Excellent talk by guide (sorry, forgot his name) and a genuinely good explanation of points of interest. 5. The walk down is an interesting (positive) part of the tour. The cons: 1. Waiting for the boat ride was longer than expected. We could have arrived for lunch one hour later than we did. 2. The wait coming back was also long. Hope that helps. Brian. - Brian
Really nice experience. Excellent guide and staff. - Jon
We had a wonderful half day at the Featherbed Eco Experience. Our guide was helpful and knowledgeable and the trip was interesting and a wonderful way to see that area of the coast. - Fiona
