What a great tour- so informative and very very moving! We were shown around by a previous prisoner which added such a personal talk. Would not have missed this for anything! Cannot recommend it...

Very good trip. Definitely arrive 45 mins early as we were on the 11am trip & the boat left the dock at 10.40. Nice to see the penguins in the wild.

About: Robben Island Museum

Robben Island Museum is located in Cape Town, South Africa, and serves as a symbol of triumph over adversity. Nelson Mandela served 18 years in prison here before his walk to freedom, and many people come to see his cell. It's known for the ex-prisoners who now work as tour guides around the island. The standard tour to Robben Island is about 4 hours long with two half-hour ferry trips.
