The Thesen Islands in Knysna comprise 19 man-made islands linked by bridges arching over the clear blue water. The Islands are popular for the 500+ houses built in colonial maritime style and for the rare Knysna Seahorse. There are stunning beaches on every island where watersports like kiteboarding, boating, windsurfing, sailing, canoeing and swimming are popular.
All the Thesen Islands provide stunning views of the Indian Ocean, the Knysna Heads and the Knysna Lagoon. It is a great place to vacation, explore local culture and participate in fun activities, particularly watersports.
