The 10 Best Food & Drink in Knysna, Western Cape

Our aim is to introduce visitors and locals to a different side of Knysna and its surroundings through guided walking and cycling tours at a leisurely pace.

Welcome! We specialise in making memories and taking care of the planet at the same time. We Rock the Route! Join us on a road trip, day trip or Wine Tour, band tour and experience the Garden Route the way the locals do... We believe that to truly experience any country, you need to get off the beaten track. Immerse yourself in the local cultures, old and new. Listen to LIVE local music, be adventurous. And that is exactly what we do! You’ll only find those authentic moments if you stop being a tourist. So leave the guide book in your backpack, join us on a road trip and let's talk to local people. Follow them on a hike to that hidden-spot, jump in the car and go to that secret beach for a breathtaking sunset and listen to their stories of what the Garden Route is all about…
