Customer Reviews

Amazing experience..... The service on board and the staff were outstanding.... To travel across the lagoon and see places that you don't see from the road is an awesome experience. The commentary explaining various places of interest, was extremely helpful. I would recommend this trip to everybody visiting Knysna.... - Maretha


It was absolutely wonderful. The jalapeno poppers my husband ordered was a bit 9ver cooked but the chicken wrap I had and the burger he had was so so delicious. We will defiantly be seeing you again soon - Hendi


The trip was very nice except for the music that my husband did discuss with you offices - Ina


Excellent service, great lagoon boat trip! Johann & team - Johann


I would suggest this John Benn Cruise to anybody who needs to view Knysna from a different point of view. The narration during the cruise is so insiteful and i actually learned something during my 20 years experience in Tourism. The 90min cruise is wonderful and the staff was amazing and very helpful. My Mom had knee surgery and so much wanted to join me on this cruise and Margaret arranged wheelchair assistance for her to be able to also feel like a tourist in her own country..... THANK YOU for that!! The meals presented on the boat are fresh and sufficient and we had a cocktail to go with the experience. Its a great way to see Knysna and learn about the history. - Samantha
