Robben Island Guided Tour with Ferry and Hotel Pickup

About this activity

Begin your journey at the iconic Nelson Mandela Gateway at the V&A Waterfront, the historic departure point for Robben Island. Before boarding the ferry, take a moment to reflect on the stories of courage, sacrifice and hope that shaped South Africa’s journey to freedom.

Cross Table Bay by ferry and follow in the footsteps of Nelson Mandela and other political prisoners. On Robben Island, explore the former prison, see Mandela’s historic cell and hear powerful stories connected to the struggle against apartheid.

What makes this experience special is the journey itself—from the modern Cape Town waterfront, across the ocean, to a place that became a powerful symbol of resilience, freedom and the triumph of the human spirit.

• Nelson Mandela Gateway at the V&A Waterfront
