Robben Island Museum Cape Town Experience

This is an outstanding tour, from pick up to drop off. We were picked up by our local transportation coordinator Caesar and driver Prince at our hotel as scheduled and dropped off at the ferry terminal. They were both friendly, professional and very knowledgeable about the area as well as what to expect on the tour. The ferry ride offered nice views of Cape Town/Table Mountain and Robben Island, coming and going. Once we arrived, we boarded a bus which drove around the perimeter of the island while receiving a description of the buildings we were seeing and stories of the history of the island. This part of the tour also afforded views back to Table Mountain as well as penguins along the rugged coast line. Following the bus ride we were taken on a walking tour of the prison itself by a former political prisoner, who shared detailed descriptions of life in the prison from his personal experiences. It was very informative as well as moving. Now in his early 70’s he is still traumatized by the horrific treatment he received but he said that leading to tours was part of his healing process. What was perhaps most shocking of all was that none of the sadistic guards were ever heals accountable for the crimes that they committed on the prisoners there and he still sees them in public in Cape Town from time to time.

Yho it was awful, I was very sad

it was really good I enjoyed my experience and would recommend to a near by friend

Standing in that prison cell makes freedom feel personal. It’s no longer just a word, it’s something people suffered for. The experience was honest, emotional, and unforgettable.

I didn’t expect to be so deeply affected by this tour. It’s well structured and informative, but it’s the human element that makes it extraordinary. Hearing firsthand stories of resilience and forgiveness gives you a new understanding of strength. Robben Island is not just about the past, it’s about lessons that still matter today.

Visiting Robben Island was one of the most meaningful experiences I’ve had in Cape Town. From the moment the ferry leaves the harbor, you start to feel the weight of the history you’re about to step into. Walking through the prison and standing in the small cells where so much sacrifice took place is something that stays with you. The most powerful part was listening to a former political prisoner share his personal story. Hearing it directly from someone who lived through it makes everything feel real, raw, and deeply human. It’s emotional, it’s reflective, and it gives you a new appreciation for freedom and resilience. This is not just a sightseeing activity, it’s something that touches you and changes the way you see history. I would truly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Cape Town.
