Robben Island & Groot Constantia: Entry Ticket + Boat Transfer

About this experience

Robben Island and Groot Constantia Tickets This combination ticket grants entry to two of Cape Town's most significant heritage sites in a single day. Your visit takes in Robben Island, the UNESCO World Heritage Site where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 18 years, and Groot Constantia, South Africa's oldest wine estate, established in 1685. The ticket covers boat transfers to Robben Island, entry to both sites, and transport between your hotel and the Nelson Mandela Gateway. At Robben Island, former political prisoners lead guided tours through the maximum-security prison where anti-apartheid leaders were held. You will see Mandela's cell and hear first-hand accounts of life under apartheid. At Groot Constantia, your visit includes the historic Cape Dutch manor house, the vineyards of the Constantia Valley, and 300 years of winemaking history. The estate's architecture and gardens reflect the colonial period, whilst the setting offers spectacular mountain views.
