Robben Island is an island off the coast of Bloubergstrand, Cape Town. It is a World Heritage Site and museum which served as a place for banishment, isolation and imprisonment during the Apartheid era. The island was also used as a post office, a grazing ground, a mental hospital and an outpost. It was declared a World Heritage Site in 1997.
Robben Island is also known as the holding place for the imprisoned Nelson Mandela, who served 18 of his 27 years on the island. A ferry tour can be taken from V&A Waterfront to Robben Island. On the island the tour is guided by a former political prisoner of the island.
The standard tour to Robben Island is about 4 hours long with two half hour ferry trips, this is only true for the Krotoa as other boats take longer, between 30 min and 1 hour. The ferries depart from the Nelson Mandela Gateway at the V & A Waterfront.
The Robben Island walking tour experience sites en-route start with the visitor's centre, banishment site, Ou Tronk, Kramat, Maximum security prison, Leprosy graveyard, Limestone quarry and Sobukwe house.
