Overview

Robben Island museum tour is one of the most popular tourist attractions in South Africa and is likely to sell out in advance. Secure your shared trip and museum tour tickets and skip the ticketing line by booking this tour and receiving return transfers between your hotel and the Nelson Mandela Gateway to Robben Island. Embark on a unique opportunity to take the Long March to Freedom in the historical footsteps of former President of South Africa - Nelson Mandela. See the prison cell that held Nelson Mandela incarcerated for 18 years of his 27-year imprisonment. Listen to the true-life experiences on the island as told by ex-political prisoners who will give you a live guided tour of the island. This is one of the most enlightening tours you will ever experience in South Africa.

Robben Island trip was a great experience and a real eye opener to understand what these people went through. Very emotional. Please ignore any negative comments about sitting on a ferry and a bus as the Island is big and how else would you get there and around the Island to understand what these people went through. Highly recommended.
