   South Africa alone is an amazing country if you put aside everything that was once wrong and still is with the country. But no visit is complete without going to Robben Island. The place can't be described but the experience of going there and seeing first had what it was like for those... more South Africa alone is an amazing country if you put aside everything that was once wrong and still is with the country. But no visit is complete without going to Robben Island. The place can't be described but the experience of going there and seeing first had what it was like for those imprisoned for having an opinion is just amazing! A 15min boat trip from the dock's at Cape Town brings you into the Island and above you as one enter is a sign that reads "Welcome to Robben Island", all along the wall there are photos in black and white showing what really went on. Depending on what boat you took you will be met by a tour guide who is either someone who spent time in Robben Island or someone who spent time in one of the many other prisons! You will see how they were treated, Nelson Mandela's cell and a clever door which I'm sure everyone will enjoy. A truly unique experience and worthwhile trip!close

   One of the most visited areas of Cape Town, fantastic place to wander around. It has a big shopping centre and plenty of cafes and bars. Always plenty of activity, if nothing else it’s worth a walk around

   We arrived into Cape Town on a bright, clear, sunny day and were advised by the receptionist because it was winter to take advantage of this and go up the cable car. The cable car is about a 10 minute taxi ride from the botanical gardens and as you climb higher start to see nice views of the city... more We arrived into Cape Town on a bright, clear, sunny day and were advised by the receptionist because it was winter to take advantage of this and go up the cable car. The cable car is about a 10 minute taxi ride from the botanical gardens and as you climb higher start to see nice views of the city below. The cable car journey didnt seem to take longer than 10 minutes and the ground roatates internally as you ascend which gives you spectacular 360 degree panoramic views of the city. Once on top you get to walk around and this can take up to 3 hours. the views are amazing of Cape point and its so quiet and peaceful. There are good facilities including restaurant and toilets on top. The price per person is 120 Randclose

   Fantastic palm lined beach not far from Cape Town city centre. Lots of accommodation, cafes, bars on the beach front. Great place to visit all year round. Food and drink does tend to be a bit pricey though so if you are on a budget, bring a packed lunch!

   Great fun and beautiful views. It rained something awful the evening we did it but that just added to the laugh, the champange was more water and we were soaked. Got to see Robyn Island, city lights, the lot
