Public transportation
Within the Netherlands
First, take a train / zug to Nijkerk.
We are working on getting a shuttle service from there. If you need such a shuttle service, help to provide this service.
But if all fails or you want to move around hacker incompatible times such as 7 in the morning, there is a public shuttle service called Connexxion.
From Monday to Friday bus 142 can take you from either Nijkerk or Harderwijk near the terrain once every hour from around 07:00 to 18:00. Take bus stop Nulderpad and walk about 500 meters down Nulderpad where you'll obviously see the entrance to SHA (the nerds walking around there might be a hint).

There are no public buses at all during evenings and weekends at Nulderpad. If you really have to, take a train to either Almere Centrum or Amersfoort Vathorst, from there you can take bus 160 to Nijkerkersluis. Then it's a ~5km walk to the entrance. Bus 160 rides even more infrequently then 142. Plan ahead carefully!

By boat
It is possible to go by boat to SHA-2017. Given the location and the locks you have to pass there are limits to boats with a maximum of 90 meters in length, 9.9 meters in width. Check your maps before going. The SHA-2017 Harbour can handle ships that run no deeper than 1 meter, but then there are still some options. You can find an arrival map with waterways here (pdf). A more elaborate description will follow soon. The safe harbour is situated at the Nuldernauw-lake. Docking places are limited. When coming by boat reserve your place as early as possible.
