Robben Island & Two... - Robben Island & Two Oceans Aquarium Combo Tour I took the 9 AM ferry to Robben Island and was struck silent by Mandela’s tiny cell and the stories shared by our guide, a former political prisoner. At the Two Oceans Aquarium—those penguins stole my heart, and the sharks gave me a thrilling rush. This combo gave me just the right mix of history and marine magic in one unforgettable day.

Visit to Ruben Island - The visit to the museum is exciting, as it tells the reason for the creation of this island and how the prisoners got there. This island is the prison that Nelson Mandela held for 25 years

Robben Island with Guide - Said was our Guide. We had booked a tour to Robben Island, but it was cancelled due to the weather. Said shifted gears quickly! He took us to the pinquin beach, hijack the good hope and bo-kaap. He also arranged for us to visit Robben Island a day later! A friendly, reliable and funny Guide with which to laugh enormously. Said is a must to take as Guide! Thank you!
