Private Robben Island landing

Land on Robben Island for a private tour of the island and the prison, guided by a former political prisoner.

The experience

What to expect

Very few visitors arrive on Robben Island by helicopter, and fewer still see it like this: privately, at your own pace, with your own vehicle on the island.

Visit the village, Robert Sobukwe’s house and the limestone quarry, then tour the maximum-security prison, including Nelson Mandela’s cell, with a guide who was once imprisoned there. The day can be tailored to your interests.
