A cultural tour

An interesting tour to learn more about the recent history of South Africa and Nelson Mandela. The journey must begin with purchasing a ticket at the Nelson Mandela Museum, close to the port where the boat departs, on the Water Front. The best time to visit the island is to leave at 9 am and the ticket must be purchased well in advance. On the island there will be buses that will take you around some interesting points. There are no restaurants or snack bars there, just a kiosk that sells water, juices and snacks. The tour is very worth it.
