Robben Island Cape Town South Africa

Just a heads up, I had a reservation for a tour of Robben Island in March 2025. I got to the terminal in the V&A and found out that the boats were all cancelled for that day, no explanation why. In line for a refund I met a man who said that had been cancelled the day before also. He said they were not well organized and often cancel the tours. I was disappointed, but since I was leaving Capetown the next day there was nothing I could do. I got a full refund. I hear it's a very moving tour but be prepared for possible problems.

Thanks,
I’ve seen several negative reviews of specific companies. I appreciate the heads up.
Do you happen to remember who you booked your tour with? Hope you got a refund!
Much appreciated,
Eva

The cancellations for Robben Island are often due to adverse weather conditions, as the water becomes choppy . Individuals are told of this when booking tickets. You can book the tickets through the Robben Island Museum: https://robbenisland.plankton.mobi/

Thanks so much!
Those tickets are much cheaper than from Viator.
