Tsitsikamma's ancient forest and that suspension bridge crossing was the highlight for our kids, genuinely felt like an adventure. Only downside was our picnic spot got quite crowded with other tour groups arriving at the same time.
Nice gentle pace for a family with young children, the picnic lunch amid the forest was a genuine highlight for us. Knysna Heads viewpoint gets a bit of wind so keep jackets handy even in what looks like mild weather.
Lagoon cruise was peaceful, kids spotted birds the whole way, lovely family afternoon.
Our kids still bring up the suspension bridge at Tsitsikamma months later, they were equal parts terrified and thrilled crossing it. The lagoon cruise the day before was a calmer, gentler contrast that balanced things nicely.
Three nights at a gentle pace suited our young children perfectly. We cruised the lagoon one day and wandered among the ancient trees the next, no exhausting rushing about.
The children loved Tsitsikamma, no complaints there. But our lagoon cruise was delayed nearly two hours with no clear update, and the wait wore the little ones out before we'd even boarded.
