During your time in Cape Town you may wish to visit Robben Island. Tickets can be purchased on-line or the hotel will also assist. Should you wish to purchase tickets in advance of your departure we would also be pleased to assist you with arrangements. Your tickets also allow you to view the exhibitions on show at Jetty 1 and the Gateway.

The ticket office is at the Nelson Mandela Gateway at the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront which is in front of the Clock-Tower shopping centre. You should aim to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to ferry departure.

Robben Island is where Nelson Mandela and many other political prisoners were held. The ferry taking you there departs from the V&A Waterfront at 0900, 1100, 1pm & 3pm. The tour takes a total of 3.5hrs including the 2 half-hour ferry journeys. Therefore you should allow half a day for this activity. www.robben-island.org.za.
