  About The Trips - Directions

 
  Simonstown Harbour
 
   

If you are coming from Cape Town, please take the M3 southwards. If you are coming from the airport, follow the N2 and feed left onto the M3 as you approach the mountain. (Signposted "Kirstenbosch")

Continue south along the length of the M3 until it reaches the T-junction. Turn right here towards Simonstown and Noordhoek. After just over a kilometre, take the conspicuously signposted M42 "Ou Kaapse Weg" to the left, and follow it over the mountain.

Continue straight through Noordhoek towards Simonstown. Joining the coastal road at Glencairn, turn right and continue until you reach Simonstown. (Look out for the marked railway station on the left and an obvious central business district)

Immediately before the "Jubilee Square" in the centre of Simonstown, turn left opposite the Standard Bank into Wharf Street. (See map)

Meet at the end of the Pier, typically at 06h45 for 07h00 am. The journey should take about 45 minutes from Cape Town. Please see the map on the left for further details.

 
 
  Hout Bay Harbour
 
   

If you are coming from Cape Town, please take the M3 southwards. If you are coming from the airport, follow the N2 and feed left onto the M3 as you approach the mountain. (Signposted "Kirstenbosch")

At the first set of traffic lights, take the M63 to the right past Kirstenbosch and follow the winding road to Hout Bay. (Signposted "Hout Bay")

The harbour is signposted once you reach Hout Bay, and enquire beforehand at which point the boat will be launching.

  Gordon's Bay Harbour

From Gordon's Bay main road (coming from the direction of Cape Town), take the right turning into Gordon's Bay Harbour through the entrance gates.

There is a minimal entrance fee of R2.00 payable at the entrance gate.

Parking is on the right hand side and the guide or skipper will be there to meet you and to show you to the boat.
