Just buy directly from museum

Katherine_C, Jun 2026

This ticket is more than twice the cost you would pay if you bought directly from the museum website and you get NOTHING EXTRA from this ticket. Save your money and buy directly from the Robben Island Museum, the visit is absolutely worth it, but dont use this vendor.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Dear Katherine, thank you for your feedback. We understand that tickets can sometimes be purchased directly from the museum. Our service is designed for travelers who prefer the convenience of having their booking handled for them, especially when tickets are limited or when making last-minute reservations. In your case, we were able to secure a spot on the ferry and ensure a smooth booking process without the stress of checking availability. We appreciate your comments and are glad to hear that you enjoyed the Robben Island experience itself.
