The Robben Island Museum (RIM) on Cape Town's Robben Island, which is responsible for managing, maintaining, presenting, developing and marketing Robben Island as a national estate and World Heritage Site, has announced that the 2020/21 financial year tour rates will continue to apply until further notice. RIM decided not to increase the rates due to the state of affairs imposed by the coronavirus pandemic and to encourage domestic tourism. The standard tariffs will remain as follows:

  • R 600 (£29 | €32 | US$37) for non-South African adults
  • R 300 (£14 | €16 | US$19) for non-South African children aged two to 18 years
  • R 400 (£19 | €21 | US$25) for South African adults
  • R 210 (£10 | €11 | US$13) for South African children aged two to 18 years

Robben Island's standard tour comprises of a ferry return trip, transport on the island, a guided island tour and a guided prison tour.

Should there be any price adjustment for 2021/2022, RIM will communicate accordingly. Tickets booked and allocated at the old rates will continue to be honored.
