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.

This Island has alot of history on South Africa and the fight for their independence. It is so well maintained with amazing tours a d very informative guides.
Worth the money. Very informative. Our tour guide Yaseen Mohammed was absolutely fantastic. Kept the tour exiting and was extremely knowledgeable on the history of Robben Island and South Africa. Will definitely recommend this trip. Also loved the fact that employees are either previously incarcerated or family of previously incarcerated people on the island
Learning the history from a former "inhabitant" was profound and redeeming of what levels of forgiveness and fortitude the human spirit can endure when fueled by "hope".
This was education. The tour is mostly listening to the tour guide. There's not much in the way of memorabilia like a museum or typical memorial site. The guides are full of knowledge and welcome questions. Not great for small kids, nothing to hold their attention.
Excellent tour with extremely knowledgeable and informative tour guides. Well worth the boat ride and experience on the tour. Went on a busy Easter weekend, only downside was not being able to take photos of some of the tour sites during the bus ride.
