Skip the queues and hop on board your own helicopter to fly to historic Robben Island where former President of South Africa Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 18 of the 27 years before the fall of apartheid. Learn first hand about the treacherous prison conduct in a private tour of the island lead by an ex prisoner.
The prison tour will be conducted by a Robben Island Tour Guide. This is part of our integrated tour model. They are fully conversant and knowledgeable about the Island’s multi-layered 500-year-old history. The tour route includes the graveyard of people who died from leprosy, the Lime Quarry, Robert Sobukwe’s house, the Bluestone quarry, the army and navy bunkers and the Maximum Security Prison where thousands of South Africa’s freedom fighters were incarcerated for years. The tour culminates with a viewing of Nelson Mandela’s cell.
This is the ultimate way to avoid the queues and the crowds on the public access ferries and timetables.
