If there was any doubt before, surely this is definitive proof that Knysna is the place to be if you can do your whale watching from your own balcony or terrace.
The wondrous waters of Knysna provided home to a pod of 14 magnificent Orca whales recently!
Even though it was a rare occurrence for these creatures to grace the waters of our coast, it may not be a one-time event. Experts believe that huge shoals of bait fish in the Knysna waters may have drawn dolphins to the area – and the Orca whales are of the ocean ‘dolphin family’.
A moment of awe and thrill…
Those lucky enough to spot Orca whales in Knysna describe the creatures as strikingly beautiful with a black back and white chest and sides. Conservationists in the area are understandably thrilled at the possibility of further sightings with Knysna having been declared a “Hope Spot” with critical marine importance. Orcas should be viewed in the wild and not in captivity as they are sentient beings and emotionally complex. Only Knysna’s prestigious and Blue Flag Status ‘Ocean Odyssey’ has the correct permits to view these magnificent creatures in their natural wild habitat at sea. If you’re not one for seafaring, then the best spot to see these amazing ocean specimens is from the luxury of your balcony with surrounding views and a breathtaking vantage point!
