Robben Island Ferries 

Embark on a fully guided tour to South Africa's famous World Heritage Site, walk in the footsteps of Nelson Mandela, tour the island's rich fauna & flora treasures and visit the lime quarry and see the village where former warders lived.
 
The standard tour to Robben Island is 3.5 hours long, including the two half-hour ferry rides. Ferries depart at 9am, 11am, 1pm and 3pm, weather permitting, from the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town. The Robben Island Tour includes: • A return boat trip across Table Bay • A visit to the infamous Maximum Security Prison • Interaction with an ex-political prisoner • A 45-minute bus ride with a guide providing commentary • The opportunity to explore the Murray's Bay Harbour precinct attractions, such as the Muslim shrine, or kramat, and the Museum Shop. To secure a place for yourself or your group on the ferry during the busy summer season, we recommend you book early.
