Pickup from your accommodation in Cape Town will be one hour before departure. You will receive a private transfer from your hotel to the Silo District, where you will be escorted to the Nelson Mandela Gateway to Robben Island, marking the beginning of your half-day experience.

You will be picked up from the address you provided (within our pickup radius). Boarding the ferry time is 30 minutes before the time slot you chose. The ferries depart from the Nelson Mandela Gateway to Robben Island in the V&A Waterfront. Here you will charter a shared boat to Robben Island Museum where you will be met by a resident Tour Guide who will conduct the tour of the Island. (Please note that our tour guide/driver will not be joining you on the tour of the Robben Island Museum.) A former political prisoner will give you a guided tour. This includes a viewing of Nelson Mandela’s cell. You will also have the opportunity to take the Long March to Freedom in the footsteps of Nelson Mandela. Upon our arrival back at the Jetty, our Tour Guide/Driver will meet you at the entrance of the Nelson Mandela Gateway to Robben Island for your return transfer back to your hotel.

Once you have finished your unforgettable half-day tour of Robben Island, you will be escorted to your accommodation in the heart of Cape Town. This journey provides you with the perfect opportunity to reflect on the deeply significant history and emotional weight of Robben Island while transitioning to the vibrant energy of the city. As you travel, take a moment to soak in the stunning views that Cape Town has to offer and appreciate the majestic Table Mountain in the distance. The anticipation of arriving at your lodging will be palpable, allowing you to relax and get ready for the exciting adventures that await you in this beautiful South African city. Enjoy every moment of your stay!
