Tour the Robben Island surrounds in a guided bus tour to view the Robben Island shipwrecks, 19th-century Lighthouse; the only lighthouse in South Africa to use a flashing light instead of a revolving light.

A former Robben Island inmate will guide you while on the island, and provide unparalleled insight into the significant role that each of the Robben Island’s inmates collectively played throughout Apartheid. You will be guided to the maximum-security prison, various Robben Island exhibition displays and a visit to Nelson Mandela’s prison cell.
