Step back in time with a visit to Robben Island, one of South Africa's most significant historical and cultural sites. Known for its deep connection to the anti-apartheid struggle, this UNESCO World Heritage Site was the prison where Nelson Mandela and other political prisoners were held for many years.
Begin your journey with a scenic ferry ride from the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town to Robben Island. Enjoy breathtaking views of Table Mountain and the Atlantic coastline as you approach the island.
Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by a local guide, often a former political prisoner, who will lead you through the island's history. Gain a personal and profound understanding of life during apartheid and hear firsthand accounts of the prisoners' experiences.
One of the tour's most poignant moments is a visit to Nelson Mandela's small prison cell, where he spent 18 of his 27 years of incarceration. Stand in the place where Mandela’s resilience and vision for a free South Africa were born.
The tour includes stops at the prison yard, the limestone quarry where prisoners worked, and other key landmarks that tell the story of South Africa’s turbulent past and eventual liberation. Robben Island is not only rich in history but also home to diverse wildlife. You may spot penguins, seals, and various bird species during your visit.
