The Experience
Before You Go
Book Robben Island early
Ferry seats sell out—reserve the morning ferry and arrive 30–45 minutes before departure to pass security and boarding checks.
Layer for coastal wind
Even sunny days can be windy on Table Mountain and Cape Point—bring a light windproof shell and a sun layer underneath.
Bring binoculars for wildlife
A compact pair helps spot seals, dolphins and seabirds during the ocean safari and from Cape Point viewpoints.
Cash/card for onsite fees
Many entrance fees and optional activities (cable car, Robben Island ticket if not included) require separate payment—carry a card and some rand.

Conservation Note
The Cape Floristic Region is globally unique and fragile—stay on trails in reserves, avoid feeding wildlife and use reef‑safe sunscreen to protect coastal ecosystems.
Robben Island served as a maximum‑security prison during apartheid; Nelson Mandela spent 18 years there, and the island is now a World Heritage museum recounting that struggle.

Common Questions
Are entrance and ferry fees included?
Some tour prices include specific tickets; the itinerary lists several fees as excluded—confirm which fees (Table Mountain cable car, Robben Island ferry, national park entries) are covered before booking.
How much walking is required?
Expect short, mostly easy walks, boardwalks and steps; the only modest hike option is around Cape Point or up short trails on Table Mountain—most sites are accessible by vehicle or cable car/funicular.
Is this tour suitable for children or seniors?
Yes—pickups can accommodate strollers and infant seats, and guides can adjust pacing; however Robben Island ferry and uneven ground at nature sites can be challenging for mobility‑limited travelers.
What’s the best time of year?
Cape Town is pleasant October–April (spring–summer) for warm weather and longer days; whales are best in winter (June–November) and fynbos is most floriferous in late winter–spring.
