A guided walk through the prison island where Nelson Mandela was held, reached by ferry.
Why it’s worth it
The tour runs about three and a half hours including the ferry from the Nelson Mandela Gateway at the Waterfront, and the island has about 500 years of layered history. Visitors walk with a guide and receive a free cap and water bottle. It is a sobering half day that deserves unhurried planning.
