Did not do the full trail, but going to soon. Beautiful views of Strand and Somerset West. Also the incline is beginner friendly. Even young kids can walk it if accompanied by adults or older teens. There are some places where there is high steps with rocks, and where you need to cross a small concrete path with water where children need assistance. Best time to start walking would be around 15 to 7, also put on sunscreen and take some sunglasses for later the morning.🌞 Groups of 3 or more should be safe, saw no sketchy figures on the way there and back. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did if you give it a try!

Absolutely gorgeous hike. Overlooking the entire False Bay area. A bit of a treacherous trail, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes or proper hiking boots. The trail leads you straight to the painted sign assembled by the cadets of the Navy College in 1949. The sign is commonly known as an emblem for Gordons Bay but it stands for General Botha which was also the original name of the Naval Station in town. Its an historical hike and will surely make you feel more connected to the area once completed.

I could just do small part of the hike, but the birds, water streams, flowers and most of all the majestic mountains and ocean is just vistas worth the effort.

Very fun hike, lots of loose rocks and climbing involved but good views. Ensure you have Sunscreen and a cap as the sun can get a bit much

Starts a bit steep but overall an easy hike.. no shade areas and you will have to loop back to the vehicle...

I almost gave this hike a 2 or 3 star because I got there and wasnt sure where to park theres no designated parking area and the street is quite narrow so felt too guilty to park there. Eventually parked and walked up and went in the wrong direction made our way back and found the correct path. It took us about an hour to get to the GB sign (because we got lost in the beginning) this is where u can sit rest have a snack enjoy the view. If u continue straight ahead you end up at another entrance to the hike on the street by then youre probably about 2kms away from your car you can then decide to walk via the road or turn around and go back the way you came. We chose to make the GB sign our peak and turned around there and walked back to the car which then took us only like 40mins. In the end it was a beautiful hike Was very windy but was safe enough to do in the wind. I would definitely suggest a cap and sunglasses because youre in the sun all the way so its quite warm but still the wind made it chilli so have a warm top wrapped around your waist just incase. So in the end it deserves more than two or three stars it was still really a beautiful hike and definitely an easy one for beginners too

Easy hike along the Gordons Bay mountains with stunning views across Vals bay and the Helderberg area.

Easy walk with lots of lovely flowers and views.

Great hike with awesome views!

Super nice hike . Starters can do this one easily. The only thing at the moment is the drought. A lot of places down the road are completely burned.

Beautiful view, lovely sunny day.

Have not been there for 10years. Last time was a great walk

Trail not kept up very well. Also, a little too close to the neighbouring houses.

Local trail with awesome views.Trail meanders along the hillside, just below the GB sign.Not the easiest walking, as it is fairly Stony and Rocky through most of its length.Very well marked now all the way along.A great local treasure.Thank you Mr Miller!

Lovely Hike to do.

Will definitely do this walk again

Go on a day when there is no wind, else you will end up in Bettys bay... We happened to be there when the wind was quiet and really enjoyed the outing. The people who live so close to it are so privileged to have such beauty right in their backyard.

Great 90min walk.

Great views, loved it

Beautiful view of the most gorgeous place

Great easy trial, well taken care of, good views

Great spot for friends to see the views

Awesome hike for the whole family

Spectacular views of Fals Bay

Its literally a trail that runs directly above the houses through the bushes.

Easy family/friend friendly hike, best to hike in groups

Great trail. With amazing views of the Atlantic ocean, the Hottentots Holland mountain range and the surrounding vineyards. Remember to take enough water and dont hike alone. Possible animals on the route include leopards(very rare), baboons, and snakes. Always be vigilant and aware of your surroundings and keep safe.

The hiking trail is breathtaking. Apart from the beautiful trees and shrubs, and other wild flowers that was destroyed in our terrible fire months back. It is still the view toward the Gordons bay harbour and Harbour island and the Table mountain....wow lots more.Safe to walk.

This trail is ideal for beginners or intermediate hikers or if you just need to get out of the house . Takes max 3hrs to complete. Pet friendly

Easy fun family trail

Beautiful trail to hike.

Its a trail in a mountain. It leads up to the GB sign. Its nice. Take some water and spf cream, there is no shade.

This is a very enjoyable walk suitable for the whole family
