WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Table Mountain
At the lower cable station, we will join a queue of tourists to go on the five-minute cable car trip to the top of Table Mountain, 1 067 meters above sea level, and explore the summit. You’ll find a self-service restaurant, Table Mountain Café, offering a range of food and drinks, snacks, desserts and wines. Table Mountain is a great spot to sit and soak up the commanding 360-degree views of Cape Town, Table Bay, the nearby peaks of the surrounding mountains and the rest of the Table Mountain National Park, in which the Cableway is situated. Once on top there are 3 trails you can choose to do with the guide: DASSIE WALK (15 min) AGAMA WALK (30 min) KLIPSPRINGER WALK (45 min)
2. Robben Island Museum
The ferries depart from the Nelson Mandela Gateway at the V & A Waterfront. (Please note that our tour guide will not be joining you on the tour of the Robben Island museum.) You will disembark at Murray’s Bay Harbour situated on the east coast of the Island and take a short walk to buses that will transport you and a group of people to all the historical sites around the Island. On the way to the buses, you will pass buildings and a high wall built by prisoners during the 1960s. The prison tour will be conducted by a Robben Island Tour Guide. 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.

Coordinating with driver, and port operations made for a missed departure and having to buy new tickets for a later time lead to a long day and frustrating experience

This was an emotional yet eye opening visit to Robben Island. Chris is an amazing host/tour guide. He was patient and very helpful while providing a lot of insight during the Table Mountain tour.

Our guide Chris was knowledgeable and friendly. He coordinated everything and ensured that we had a great day. Robben Island was fascinating and having a former prisoner to guide us when we were there was an added bonus and very moving. Table Mountain is an incredible experience and the view is breathtaking. Our tour meant that we skipped the queue for the cable car which was great. Thanks again to Chis for a fabulous day.
