Waterfront & Robben Island Tour
f you’re looking for a romantic and exciting destination in Cape Town, then the V&A Waterfront is a must-visit location. Developed in 1988, this sprawling 123-hectare property is home to a shopping mall, marina, working harbour, and a plethora of museums and attractions.
One of the top activities to enjoy at the V&A Waterfront is a trip to Robben Island. Ferries depart from the Nelson Mandela Gateway at the V&A Waterfront at 9am, 11am, and 1pm daily, taking visitors on a journey to the former prison where Nelson Mandela was incarcerated for many years. The tour is guided by qualified guides who provide insights into the history of the island and its significance in the struggle against apartheid.
Another must-see attraction at the V&A Waterfront is the Cape Wheel, a giant observation wheel that offers spectacular 360-degree panoramic views of Cape Town from the iconic and vibrant V&A Waterfront precinct. Take a ride on the Cape Wheel and enjoy breathtaking views of the city skyline, Table Mountain, and the Atlantic Ocean.
For those interested in marine life, a visit to the Two Oceans Aquarium is a must-do activity. This world-class aquarium showcases the different wildlife found in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans through interactive displays and over 3,000 marine animals. Visitors can also participate in feeding sessions and watch as divers swim with the sharks.
To make the most of your visit to the V&A Waterfront, transportation is readily available, including taxis, buses, and the MyCiTi bus service. This makes it easy to explore all the area has to offer, from shopping and dining to sightseeing and entertainment.
