Directions
Travelling by car
It’s a 60 minute journey from the centre of Cape Town. Take the M3 motorway from Cape Town (also called The Blue Route) to its end and turn right. In 2km at the second traffic light turn left up the mountain on the M64 “Ou Kaapse Weg”. This 12km long mountain pass road has wonderful views through Silvermine and winds down to Sun Valley. Keep straight on past three traffic lights and over another hill you will reach a set of traffic lights at a T-junction by the ocean. Turn right and Simon’s Town is 5kms away.
Enter destination “Wharf Street Simon’s Town” into your GPS. It may try to route you via Muizenberg, so it’s best to use our directions as above via the M3, M64, M6 route until you get to Sun Valley and then follow the GPS.
Local Direction
About 700 metres past the Simon’s Town Railway Station you will see a Shell petrol station on your right.
Shortly after passing it you will see ahead of you on the left a blue and white building with a tall mast on it.
Turn left into Wharf Street at this building. You’ll find a parking lot which usually has free spaces for you to park in. You’ll see our guides at the meeting spot near our kayaks.
Please plan to arrive around 15 minutes prior to your scheduled trip time. It’s approximately a 60 minute journey from Cape Town.
