Overview

Skip the ticketing line and take a shared boat trip to Robben Island Museum and explore the island where Nobel Prize Winner and former South African President Nelson Mandela was held as a political prisoner for 18-years of his 27 years sentence.

Secure your Robben Island boat trip and museum tour ticket early to avoid disappointment as this is one of the most popular tourist attractions in South Africa and is likely to sell out in advance.

On this tour, you can view the prison cell of Nelson Mandela and learn about the dramatic history of the Maximum Security Prison and South Africa from a former political Robben Island prisoner. Take a historical walk in the footsteps of Nelson Mandela on the Long Walk to Freedom pathway. This is one of the most enlightening historic tours you will experience on your journey to Cape Town, South Africa.

Arrive 30 minutes before the time shown on your ticket at Nelson Mandela Gateway to Robben Island Silo District, V&A Waterfront with a copy of your ID on your phone or the original. Skip the ticketing line and proceed directly to the boat departures line.

Once you have boarded the shared boat you will set sail for 30-minutes on the open sea to Robben Island Museum. Upon your arrival at the Robben Island Jetty, you will disembark the boat and be guided on a bus by an ex-political prisoner who is a Robben Island Tour Guide for a tour of the island. The guide will provide live commentary about Robben Island and its history, indicating the various homes of ex-political prisoners and other landmarks. The tour will culminate with a view of the prison cell where former President Nelson Mandela was held as a prisoner and an opportunity to take a walk in his footsteps of Nelson Mandela on The Long Walk to Freedom.

Alles verliep vlot. De boot was wel wel fel versleten als ook de bus waarmee we op het eiland werden rond gevoerd. 5 stoelen op een rij met smalle doorgang erbij was wel heel krap. Leerrijke video op de bood was interessant. De toespraak van een ex-gevangene ook maar een beetje te lang. Wel goed om eens te zien te horen hoe onrechtvaardig en erbarmelijk het er aan toe ging.
