You will disembark at Murray's Bay Harbour, located on the east coast of the Island. From there, you will take a short walk to the buses that will transport you 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 buildings were used for family and lawyer visits to prisoners.
When you have boarded the buses, you will meet your Tour Guide. The prison tour will be conducted by a Robben Island Tour Guide, who is 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.
