Itinerary

  • Robben Island Museum

    Our driver will pick you up from a designated location for your convenience and transport you to the Clock Tower at the V&A Waterfront. Alternatively, arrive at the Nelson Mandela Gateway to Robben Island in the Silo District of the V&A Waterfront 30 minutes before your scheduled departure. Be sure to have a copy of your passport, either digital or the original, for verification. This ticket does not include hotel transfers. Once on board the shared boat, you will embark on a 30-minute journey across the open sea to the Robben Island Museum. Upon arrival, there will be a guided tour led by an ex-political prisoner. The guide will provide live commentary on the island's history, pointing out the residences of former political prisoners and other significant landmarks. The tour will conclude with a visit to the prison cell where former President Nelson Mandela was held, offering you the chance to walk in his historical footsteps. After the tour, you will return to the starting point.

Great app for travellers

Published on Feb, 2025

It took a while to set up a logon id and attach payment details. We booked online for the 11am to be told that it wasn't available but we had been booked on the 1pm instead. This wasn't a problem for us.

Thank you!

Published on Nov, 2024

Thank you Cesar for taking care of our booking and making sure we arrived and got home safely! We’d happily book with you again!

Great. Delivered when the previous tour operator took our money and then cancelled at the last minute. They were the replacement company who filled in at short notice

Unmissable visit and excellent service

Published on Oct, 2024

This is visit is a "must" when in Cape Town. Cesar was very attentive and punctual with the transfers, I recommend him to organise your visit to Robben Island.

Went Above and Beyond for Me!

Published on Sep, 2024

I had an incredible experience with Cape Oasis Travel and Tours. I lost track of time after the tour, and the driver patiently waited for me without any complaints. Really appreciated the kindness and understanding. Definitely made my day a lot less stressful!
