Planning a trip to Hermanus? While our town is famous for its whale watching and stunning scenery, it’s worth noting that Hermanus doesn’t have its own airport. The closest option is to fly into Cape Town International Airport and then enjoy a scenic drive to Hermanus.
Navigating Flights to Hermanus
Since Hermanus lacks its own airport, the most practical approach is to book a flight to Cape Town International Airport (CPT). From there, you have a couple of options to reach Hermanus: renting a car for a leisurely self-drive or arranging a shuttle service for a more relaxed transfer. The drive from Cape Town International Airport to Hermanus is approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, offering beautiful views along the way. Keep in mind that during peak season, such as whale watching season, booking flights and transportation well in advance is highly recommended.
Transportation Options from Cape Town Airport
Once you’ve landed at Cape Town International, you can rent a car from various reputable agencies located right at the airport. This gives you the freedom to explore the Overberg region at your own pace. Alternatively, several shuttle services offer direct transfers to Hermanus, allowing you to sit back and enjoy the scenery. Some hotels in Hermanus may also provide airport transfer services, so it’s always worth checking with your accommodation.
Conclusion
While Hermanus might not have its own airport, getting here is a breeze with convenient flight options into Cape Town and readily available transportation. We look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful town!
