ROBBEN ISLAND TOURS

This is the notorious island prison that  held the late South African President and Nobel Peace Prize Winner, Nelson Mandela.

The ferry departs from the Robben Island Gateway at the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront.  If required we can arrange transport to the V & A Waterfront.

The ferry departs every day at 09h00, 11h00 and 13h00 throughout the year.  There is an additional trip at 15h00 in the Summer.

The tour includes a guided bus tour around the island and then a visit into the prison facility with an ex-political prisoner who lived there just after Mr Mandela was moved to another prison.

Private vehicle on the island can be arrange, you can expect to pay about 7-8 times more than the standard ticket price, but if you can afford it, the experience is well worth it.
