About This Tour
A Robben Island tour offers a profound journey through South Africa's history, taking you to the notorious prison where Nelson Mandela and other political prisoners were held during apartheid. Visitors experience a guided walk through the stark prison cell blocks, including Mandela’s former cell, and hear powerful stories from former inmates who share their personal experiences. The tour also includes a scenic boat ride to and from the island, with stunning views of Cape Town's coastline and Table Mountain. The contrast of the island's beauty and its dark past creates a deeply moving experience.
