- Table Mountain - The tour begins with a visit to Table Mountain, where the Aerial Cable Car will transport visitors to the summit. Here, they will be treated to breathtaking views of Cape Town, Signal Hill, and Lion’s Head. As they marvel at the natural beauty and stunning vistas, they will be guided to another viewpoint offering spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean, Camps Bay, and the Twelve Apostles Mountains. Bringing a camera is highly recommended.
- Camps Bay - Camps Bay is a chic waterfront suburb known for its wide, white-sand beach and palm-lined promenade. From the mountain vantage point, one can observe the striking contrast between the turquoise waters of the Atlantic and the lively strip of restaurants and bars below.
- Twelve Apostles - The Twelve Apostles are a striking series of rugged peaks forming the rear wall of Table Mountain, extending along the coast towards Hout Bay. Aerial views showcase the remarkable geological textures of these seventeen distinct peaks (despite the name) as they dramatically descend into the ocean.
- Robben Island Museum - The tour continues to the Robben Island Boarding gate, where a ferry will take visitors to Robben Island. Here, they will gain insight into South Africa’s history, the fight against oppression, and the significant roles of Nelson Mandela and others who were imprisoned on the island for many years.

Wonderful tour - wonderful guide! - This was a great experience but make sure you buy fast track tickets for Table Mountain. Getting the aerial car is challenging but once you are past that it is wonderful. The car has a 360 degree rotating floor so you have a chance to see everything going up. The views from mountain should not be missed! Robben Island was moving and the stores should not be forgotten. So much history in Cape Town. Yamelka was, open and took such good care of us. He put in a very long day to make sure we saw everything. He made the day for us. I highly recommend this tour and Yamelka as your guide

Robben Island and Table Mountain: Must See - On October 4, 2025, our guide, Yemkela, picked us up in a car. Our fellow tourist was from Florida.
We headed to the Cape Town Waterfront to board the boat for the 30-minute ride to get to Robben Island. Robben is derived from Dutch in which Rob means “seal.” Contrary to the history we have learned, Cape of Good Hope and Robben Island were the home of the Khoisan peoples for at least a couple of millennia. In addition to convicts being sent to Robben, a leper colony was established in the 1800s, many died and were buried here.
We arrived on the island and boarded buses for the tour. Our guide, Yasin Mohammed, a man of Indian and Malaysian descent, was outstanding. We toured the max security prison that held Nelson Mandela. Mandela was in prison for 27 years — 18 in Robben and also Pollsmoor and Victor Verster. The other prisoners were Blacks, Coloreds, and Indians, because of various infractions, including protests and failure to carry their pass that allowed them access to only places that were listed.
After our tour of Robben Island, we headed back to the Cape Town Waterfront, caught up with Yemkela for our half-hour drive to Table Mountain. On a clear day, it offers phenomenal views of Cape Town and the Atlantic and Indian oceans. Unfortunately, we had low clouds and so although we took the Cable Car (Funicula) to the top, ate lunch and headed back down.

There is no tour here,... - There is no tour here, you are just paying for the driver to drop you off at the Ferry, which you can take an uber for. Also, I found my driver cold and distant, he just focused on talking to the other passengers who were South African, and ignored me.

Place closed - Turns out that Robben Island was closed and they never told us. They did, however, offer us a substitute destination

Worst tour ever - The travel agent who picked us up from our hotel, parked a block away and told us he was there. After looking for him for sometime, he pulled up in front of our hotel. He did not get out and greet us; we were expected to open the door and climb into the Van And did not introduce himself before pulling away. Samora, Our guide was rude and obnoxious, and after driving halfway to table mountain indicated that the fog was so bad. We would have zero visibility and Suggested we do not visit table Mountain this morning Because of the poor visibility. We had three hours before the boat left for Robbin Island and I asked what was His recommendation that we could do while we waited for the Robbin Island tour to begin; He immediately suggested that we cancel Our tour for the day and he refund our money. This was the most unprofessional, disagreeable, and obnoxious tour guide I have ever encountered. He was incompetent and it appeared that he did not want to take us on this tour and look for any excuse to cancel.
