Robben Island Tickets, Penguins & Cape of Good Hope Private Tour

Join us on one of the most popular heritage tours in South Africa and experience more about South African history by taking a boat trip to Robben Island museum and see the prison cell where former president Nelson Mandela was incarcerated as a political prisoner. Then, take a tour to the Penguins main colony at Boulder's beach, finish the day with full exploration of the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Point nature reserve. Peace of mind as your Robben Island Tickets are pre booked in advance  soon after we have received your booking. This is truly one of the most amazing tours you will ever embark on. You will have a private vehicle at your disposal just for you and your party for the entire day. You will share the boat to Robben Island with other guests. A tour at the island will be conducted by an ex prisoner. 

Pick up at your accommodation in Cape Town will be at 6:00 am by a private tour guide/driver in a private vehicle.

We take a drive to the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Point Lighthouse, where we will explore the Dias & Vasco Da Gama, Crosses. These two gentlemen were the first early Europeans who arrived in Cape Town around 1487 & 1495. Have your photo taken behind the iconic Cape of Good Hope name board.

From the Cape of Good Hope, we will have the option to either take a short hike to Cape Point or take the Funicular. We will also explore the most south-western point of Africa, known as the Cape Point, where the cold Benguela from the Atlantic Ocean, meets the warm Agulhas current of the Indian Ocean. We will explore the lighthouse, etc.

We continue our tour to Boulder's Penguins colony where we will visit the African Penguins. Take a walk along the boardwalk on your way to the viewpoint and keep an eye out for one or two of these enchanting sea creatures who may be walking alongside you.

We take a drive along Chapmans Peak drive if it is operational. We will stop for a brief 10 minutes at the viewpoint to take some photos. Then we proceed along the Atlantic Seaboard passing through Camps Bay, Clifton and Bantry Bay to the V&A Waterfront.

Please note that your tour guide/driver will not be joining you on the boat or at the island as there will be a resident sight guide on the island who will give you a guided tour. We will arrive at the boat departures terminal at 10:30am. The ferry boat will set sail to Robben Island at 11:00 am. The entire tour duration will be up to 3.5 hours to 4-hours including boat trip transfers. When you reach the island, you will disembark at Murray’s Bay Harbour and take a brief walk to the bus that will transport you around the island. A former political prisoner will give you a guided tour. This includes a viewing of Nelson Mandela’s cell. You will also have the opportunity to take the Long March to Freedom in the footsteps of Nelson Mandela. After the tour, you will return to the Clocktower Precinct at the V&A Waterfront at approximately 14:30.
