A poignant aerial perspective on Robben Island — sweeping views of the prison, limestone quarry and Cape Town from above. (Note: this is a fly-over only and does not land on the island.)
As you approach the island, the short yet striking distance from the city becomes immediately apparent.
Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela spent 18 years of his imprisonment alongside many other political prisoners, is forever associated with South Africa's apartheid era.
Flying over the island serves as a poignant reminder of the isolation and sacrifice endured by those incarcerated there. From the air, the island also reveals a stark and unexpected beauty — creating an exceptional opportunity for photographers to capture sweeping views of Cape Town and Table Mountain from afar.
Please note: for this tour we do not land on Robben Island. Packages that land on the island for guided prison tours are available on request — contact bookings@bujatours.com.
