About this activity

Step into history on this Robben Island Half-Day Tour, a moving experience that brings South Africa’s fight for freedom to life.

Upon arrival, you’ll be guided through the island’s historical landmarks, including the lime quarry and Robert Sobukwe’s house, while learning about the island’s infamous past.

The highlight of the tour is a visit to the maximum-security prison, where you’ll walk through Mandela’s former cell and hear firsthand accounts from a former political prisoner. This immersive experience offers a deep understanding of resilience, hope, and courage.
